Basic General Purpose Sound Level Meter

The Casella CEL-240 is a low cost Type 2 sound level meter with the power of digital signal processing! Get a digital meter at an analog price. In need of a basic sound level meter? This is the unit. Possessing two measurement ranges that reach as low as 30dB and high as 130dB, it has the ability to capture A & C weightings at a Slow, Fast, and Impulse response timed. This makes the Casella CEL-240 ideal for industrial hygiene measurements whether it be a machinery noise surveys or a general purpose workplace noise level measurement.

The meter features the instantaneous sound level plus the maximum hold feature on all screens plus a real-time bar graph display. In a situation where noise levels are constantly varying, the time history trending graph will be useful for seeing the noise levels of short events.

The Casella CEL-240 features a 128 x 128 pixel LCD screen with two large buttons for simple operation. Calibration is as simple as well: connect the calibrator to the unit and turn both the calibration device and CEl-240 on. The Casella CEL-240 will instantly recognize the calibrator and perform calibration. The simplicity of this unit is great for both experienced and new users.

This Casella unit has a low-power consumption microprocessor. In fact, a set of 3 AA batteries will last for more than 35 hours in this Casella unit at room temperature. Not only is the Casella CEL-240 a quality unit but it is inexpensive to run.
