The Casella CEL-620 series meter features include a wide dynamic range from 20 to 140 dB on single span, A, C and Z frequency weightings, and simultaneously recording Slow, Fast, and Impulse time responses calculated at 3, 4, and 5db exchange rates. This sound level meter calculates and stores all the common noise parameters so that even the most inexperienced users capture the data that they need.
A large 240 x 320 pixel color ¼ VGA graphic display and simple menu structure make operation easy!
The Casella CEL-620 comes in two different models, each with three different versions and two different microphone accuracies. Kits with an acoustic calibrator, wrist strap, foam windscreen, USB cable, Insight plugin, and small kit case can be purchased as well.

Ultra Wide Range Integrating Sound Level Meter
The Casella CEL-620 series sound level meter is for industrial use with a complex noise level climate. While it can be used for a basic survey, this sound level meter series has a measurement range of 20 to 140dB, capturing all the noise needed for an environment with varying, complex noise. Depending on the model- A, C, and Z (unweighted) channels can be simultaneously recorded. Furthermore, Slow, Fast, and Impulse responses are used to calculate the time weighted average with 3, 4, and 5dB exchange rates for each run. In essence, the Casella CEL-620 series meter makes measurements simple for new and experienced users because it will capture all noise and calculate the most popular noise measurements so that no vital information is absent. The Casella CEL-620 series meter does not measure intervals, profiles, or periods and is not a data logging unit; all results for this sound level meter are cumulative. For a data logging unit, please take look at the Casella CEL-630 series.
The Casella CEL-620 series sound level meter possesses a 240 x 320 pixel color screen with an easy-to-use menu structure. All menus are color-coded to easily distinguish what mode the sound level meter is in. For instance, a green menu bar signifies that the sound level meter is collecting data while a red menu bar means the instrument is in standby mode. A yellow menu bar appears for calibration. Calibration is straightforward: Set the calibrator over the microphone and turn it on. The sound level meter will instantly recognize the tone and ask to accept the calibration process. The instrument will then pass calibration.
Power to the Casella CEL-620 series sound level meter is derived by three AAA batteries and can last up to twelve hours. An external 12 Vdc source such as a mains supply is available for extended measurements.
The memory of the Casella CEL-620 series is a Micro SD 1GB non-volatile memory that will connect directly to a computer via USB connection. No special drivers are required for use with Windows XP, Vista or Win 7 Operating systems. The Casella CEL-620 is seen in Windows Explorer as a standard PC memory card device and information can be obtained and reports made with Casella’s Insight software.
The Casella CEL-620 series possesses different configurations for your specific application.
The Casella CEL-620 series comes in two different models. The CEL-620 is the base model of this series while the CEL-621 has all of the same parameters as the CEL-620 with the addition of five LN% parameters. For a graphical comparison chart, visit the model comparison page. or Casella Solution.
There are three versions, A, B, and C, that differentiate the amount of detail that the sound level meter collects. The A version meter provides the overall broadband results with the A, C and Z (unweighted) channel for all measurements. The B version meter adds the ability to record 11 simultaneous octave bands from 16 Hz to 16 kHz while the C version model adds 33 third octave band measurements from 12.5 Hz to 20 kHz.
In addition, there are two microphones types that specify different accuracy levels. The Type 1 microphone is a precision grade microphone for use in complex environment surveys and laboratory use. The Type 2 microphone is a general use grade microphone that is often used for basic environment surveys and work noise surveys. As can be expected, a more accurate microphone can be used for basic surveys as well.
The Casella CEL-620 series can be purchased alone or with one of two kits. Kit 1 features standard accessories including an acoustic calibrator, carrying case, and three AA batteries. Kit 2 features all of the accessories of Kit 1 with the addition of Casella’s Insight software that makes for easy interpretation and reports.
