Casella CEL CEL-352Plus - Manual

Introduction
In a few simple steps, this guide will get you up and
running making noise measurements. We want you to get
the best performance from your CEL-35X dBadge system
and recommend that for advanced information you refer
to the instruction manual.
Charging
Charge the CEL-35X dBadge by using the charger
provided. During charging the red LED will flash. Ensure
the dBadge has enough charge for the required
measurement duration by looking at the screen, which will
show the run time available for the current charge held in
the battery. The LED will turn blue when charging is
complete. Charging from flat will take approximately 90
minutes:
Switching the CEL-35X On/Off
Press the Left (‘L’) key to switch the CEL-35X on. The
CEL-35X will run through a start up sequence as shown
below.
The first screen displays the model number and the
firmware version. The next screen shows user defined text
which is configured using dB35 software.
The dBadge can be switched off by holding down the ‘L’
key for 3 seconds.
The final screen displays the current time and date. This is
automatically set by the software when the dBadge is
connected to a PC. It is recommended that prior to using
the dBadge units for the first time, they are connected to a
PC so that the time is set correctly. The dBadge screen will
then display data from the last run. See section on
reviewing measurement data.
Configuring the dB adge
By pressing and holding the right (‘R’) key down during the
start up sequence the configuration menu can be accessed.
Pressing the ‘L’ key will make the changes to the current
settings, and the ‘R’ key will confirm the changes and move
on to the next screen. The screens are shown below, once
the final screen has been confirmed by pressing the ‘R’
button, the dBadge will return to standard operation.
Calibration
To calibrate the dBadge, place the CEL-110 acoustic
calibrator over the microphone as shown below. Be
careful to push the calibrator straight onto the dBadge
without twisting, this ensures the screw on microphone is
not loosened or over tightened.
Switch on the CEL-110 calibrator. The dBadge will
automatically recognise a calibration tone is present and
enter the calibration mode, showing the screen below.
Press the ‘R’ key to confirm that you wish to calibrate. The
dBadge will take a few seconds to automatically adjust to
the required level of 114.0dB.
Once calibration is completed a ‘CAL OK’ message will
appear. The dBadge stores the calibration date, time and
level then returns to the default screens.
Starting a Measurement
To start a measurement, press and hold both keys for 3
seconds. During a measurement run the symbol will
be displayed in the top left of the screen to show a
measurement is being taken.
For advice on fitting the dBadge to an individual, please
refer to manual.
If the memory is to be cleared, a second screen appears
for confirmation. Change the option to ‘Yes’ by pressing
the ‘L’ key, then press ‘R’ to confirm deletion.
Fitting and Removing the Windshield
It is recommended the windshield is fitted to the dBadge
unit when in use. This provides protection and will
prevent air movement from affecting the measurements.
When fitting or removing the windshield always hold the
black plastic ring at the base of the windshield. Locate the
tabs into the holes then gently twist clockwise to lock.
For calibration of the dBadge with a CEL-110 acoustic
calibrator, the windshield will need to be removed.
Simply twist the black plastic ring at the base of the
windshield anticlockwise then lift the windshield off.
DO NOT use the foam to twist the windshield on and
off.
Press ‘L’ to select either ISO
(Europe) or OSHA (USA).
Press ‘R’ to confirm.
Allows the memory to be
cleared, press ‘L’ to change
display to ‘Yes’, then press
‘R’ to confirm.
Screen contrast, press ‘L’ to
adjust, ‘R’ to confirm
changes.
Menu language, press ‘L’ to
change and ‘R’ to confirm.
