5.3 Funktionsknapper

• UNITS Button: Press to switch between different measurement units or modes if available (e.g., dBA, dBC). For this model, it primarily controls time weighting.
• SEL -knap: This button is used for selecting functions or confirming settings.
• MIN/MAX-knap: Press this button to cycle through current, minimum, and maximum recorded sound levels.
• Datahold / Baggrundsbelysningsknap: A dedicated button (often on the side or labeled 'H/BL') allows you to hold the current reading on the display. Pressing it again may release the hold. Long-pressing this button typically activates or deactivates the display backlight.

5.4 Time Weighting (FAST/SLOW)

The device supports two time weighting modes:

• FAST (125 ms): Used for measuring rapidly changing noise levels. This is the default setting.
• SLOW (1 second): Used for measuring average noise levels where the sound value changes significantly.

To switch between FAST and SLOW modes, use the designated button (often labeled 'F/S' or integrated with 'UNITS').

5.5 Frequency Weighting (A-Weighting)

The MESTEK SL620 uses A-weighting (A characteristic) for its measurements. A-weighting is commonly used for environmental noise measurements and is designed to approximate the human ear's response to sound.
