Original Press Release:
Casella Sound Meter Features Real Time Analyzer to Reduce Test Times
-- CEL-620B octave band sound level analyzer features a single range meter with 11 real time octave bands for all the measurements required for OSHA Survey --
AMHERST, NH, February 18, 2009 -- -- Casella USA, the North American subsidiary of worldwide measurement leader Casella CEL, today launched the CEL-620B wide-range (20 to 140 dB) integrating sound meter featuring real time octave band frequency analysis from 16 Hz to 16 kHz, along with a full-color LCD that presents overall noise levels in numerical and graphical formats.
Designed for safety compliance and exposure monitoring, the new CEL-620B digitally measures the sound level in factories, refineries, construction sites or other industrial workplaces where noise is a concern. In addition to assuring compliance to government regulations, such as OSHA, ACGIH and NIOSH, it helps occupational hygienists in identifying and eliminating noise factors. By displaying the previous one-minutes trend of occurrences, the meter makes it easy to pinpoint significant events when levels change from a lower background value. A thermometer style bar graph assists in reading noise parameters during a run.
Although priced in the mid-range meter class, the CEL-620B has features found in instruments costing hundreds of dollars more. At the top of the list is its capability to measure three broadband levels plus the 11 octave bands over the whole audio range simultaneously in parallel. Based on digital signal processing, this simultaneous recording eliminates the need to go back and re-measure the noise to get the result set required for a thorough survey. In addition, overall test results that are far more reliable and accurate than those from traditional sound levels meters with sequential octave band analysis. Both graphical bar chart and tablular listing displays are available.
Additional features are:
o A, C and Z (Linear) frequency weightings (simultaneously)
o Fast, Slow and Impulse time weightings (simultaneously)
o Q=3, 4 and 5 exchange rates (simultaneously)
o measures instant, maximum and minimum levels
o measures Leq, Lavg(DOD), Lavg(OSHA)
o measures maximum and time average level in all octave bands
o manual measurements using intuitive menus.
Up to 100 run results can be stored in its internal memory for later retrieval. The instrument can be connected to a PC using its integral high speed USB interface and its runs imported into standard office programs such as word processors and spreadsheets.
The CEL-620B is available in ANSI Type 1 or type 2 versions depending on the microphone capsule fitted. It can be purchased seperately or as part of a full measurement kit (CEL-620.B2/K1) with a matching acoustic calibrator and accessories. Data reporting software can be included as an option.
