Casella USA 17 Old Nashua Rd #15 Amherst, NH 03031 USA TF (800) 366-2966 info@casellausa.com CEL-240 Digital Sound Level Meter Operator Manual HB-3331-01...
The CEL-240 is a completely digital sound level meter, designed for stable, reliable performance, fully compliant with international sound level meter standards. This instruction manual is to help you get the most benefit from your CEL-240 and to ensure accurate noise measurements.
2. Calibrate the instrument as required. See ‘Calibration’ section. 3. Place the windshield over the microphone prior to any measurement. 4. The CEL-240 will display a bargraph (Figure D) or time history (Figure J) display. See ‘Instrument Settings’ to change time and frequency weightings, or type of display.
• Calibration level • Signal input source To enter the configuration menu, hold down the right key when the CEL-240 is switched off and press the ‘power’ key. The ‘Contrast’ screen is then displayed (Figure G). Press the right key to adjust the contrast as appropriate and then press the left to accept the changes.
The calibration level screen will then be displayed (Figure H). This screen is used to set the exact reference level used by the acoustic calibrator. Refer to the calibration certificate for the acoustic calibrator for the calibrator output level. The ‘Signal input source’ screen (Figure I) will then be shown. NOTE: this option is for the use of acoustic laboratories only.
