Meters get the measure of workplace
noise
The CEL-430 integrating sound level meter range is ideal for any industry or business wanting to monitor the amount of noise emitted from machines and other work applications.
The latest version of the EU Noise at Work Directive introduces significantly tighter noise limits and many more businesses will now be required to make workplace noise assessments To coincide with these new requirements, Casella CEL - the specialist provider of workplace monitoring technologies - has released the world's first integrating sound level meter with a novel autocalibration capability

This function provides a simple and effective route to field calibration ensuring the instrument can measure accurately but importantly, is extremely easy to use.
The meter is also equipped with a single span measurement range up to 140dB so all the action levels in the regulations can be measured simultaneously.
The CEL-430 integrating sound level meter range provides two accuracy grades that are ideal for any industry or business wanting to monitor the amount of noise emitted from machines and other work applications in order to assess workforce noise exposure.
With its latest wide-range digital signal processing technology (DSP), the CEL-430 range can also accurately measure all types of sound level including impact noise.
Tim Turney, Product Manager for Casella CEL, says: "Compared to previous legislation, the reduced limits of the latest EU Physical Agents Directive for Noise requires many more employers to seriously think about and get involved in taking workplace noise measurements".
"We're aware that a lot of people who have never dealt with acoustic instruments before want to be able to use them first time without any difficulty, so we've produced a user friendly 'Noise at Work' sound meter that is cost effective and very accurate".
The CEL-430 range can be used worldwide as it is compliant with the majority of overseas "noise at work" regulations and the user-interface menu is available in five languages.
There is also a supporting software package to download and log data in real time to a PC.
The meters exceed international standards for acoustic and electro-acoustic test methods and performance requirements.
