1.5 Description
Both the CEL-450 and CEL-490 Sound Level Meters make use of recent
developments in digital processors to feature a full 0 - 140 dB dynamic
range on a single uninterrupted scale. In addition, the narrow band
versions of these instruments offer real time frequency analysis.
Versions of these instruments are available with Class 1 or
Class 2 measurement accuracy to give an ability to make comprehensive
sound level measurements.
The main
difference between the
CEL-450 and CEL-490 are
the additional timing
facilities included in the
CEL-490. The CEL-450 is
intended primarily to make
the noise measurements required for Industrial Hygiene and Health &
Safety standards, while the more comprehensive timing features of the
CEL-490 make it more suited to the monitoring of Environmental noise.
Versions of both instruments are available for broadband
measurement, broadband plus octave band, and broadband, octave band
and third-octave band measurement. All frequency bands operate in real
time, using Class 0 filters.
To simplify
operation, frequently used
measurement setups can
be stored for re-use. The
setup memory can
accommodate one factory
setup and up to four user
specified setups for each
bandwidth.
Class 1 and Class 2 Measurement.
