CEL-244 Digital Integrating Sound Level Meter

The CEL-244 is a completely new design of integrating sound level meter featuring the power of Digital Signal Processing (DSP) technology and the simplicity and low cost of a traditional analog instrument. It can be used for a wide range of noise measurement tasks and is suitable for many everyday applications.

Complying with all ANSI and IEC accuracy specifications in the Type 2 category the CEL-244 will appeal to new and experienced users alike.

  • Simple 2 button operation
  • Wide range from 30 to 130dB
  • Large graphic LCD screen 128 x 128 pixels
  • Slow, Fast and Impulse time weightings
  • Current, highest and time average noise levels shown in monochrome LCD display
  • Large numeric and analog bar graph display
  • Output to computer for simple data logging with PC
  • Auto calibration at either 114 or 94 1 kHz decibel level
  • Scrolling sound level display Applications

The CEL-244 is an ideal instrument for industrial hygiene measurements of noise in the workplace. The meter has a low and high measurement range that each covers a full 70dB. It can be used for machinery noise surveys as well as all general purpose workplace noise level measurements. With the A and C frequency scales and the S, F and I time response (Slow, Fast and Impulse) the meter can be used to assess the right hearing protectors using the NRR method.

The non-decaying maximum hold and the integrated Leq/Lavg time average value of variable noises are displayed on the screen until reset by the user. Max 70.8 LAF 62.7dB RESET dB main display scrolling time history display

The new CEL-244 features a standard ¼” threaded socket on the back of the meter to allow it to be mounted on a tripod for fixed measurement applications. The meter is powered from 3 x AA alkaline batteries and will run for up to 35 hours on its own or continuously when powered from a mains-to-USB style adapter or from a computer. Digital output via a USB mini A socket is available plus analog ac (or dc) voltage output through a 2.5mm jack socket to connect the CEL- 244 to other external computers or recorders or to the optional Windows dB24 software package. Standard or computer output kits are available.
