DISPLAY – ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Average Indicator : The AVG indicator is displayed to indicate that an average measurement is in
progress. A steady AVG indicator means that a Manual measurement is in progress. A blinking indicator
means that an AutoStore measurement is in progress.
Frequency weighting
: An A or C is displayed below the dB unit label as an indication of the selected
frequency weighting.
Fast/Slow response : An F or S is displayed over the dB unit label as an indication of the SPL exponential
filter response. An F stand for fast (τ = 1/8 sec) and S for slow (τ = 1 sec).
Leq 1h and Leq 24h
: For measurement periods of 1 or 24 hours, the Leq 1h or Leq 24h indicators are
displayed at the end of the measurement period.
Battery Indicator : The battery indicator appear in the top left of the LCD display. The Piccolo unit will
work normally when the level is at 1 bar out of 3 or more.
As the battery reaches the low level (0/3 bar), the remaining battery contour will blink to indicate that the
battery needs to be replaced. Also, any AutoStore averaging would be stopped and saved. In battery low
level, the user cannot record data nor recalibrate the unit. Any attempt of an executing a disabled function
will result in a Low Batt indication. Measurements can still be done in Manual Play/Stop mode, but it
would not be possible to record it.
As the battery reaches even lower than low level, the Piccolo unit simply close after displaying the Low
Batt indication.
