Sound Level Meters

Low Cost Noise Meter

This low cost noise meter has been designed for simple noise surveys and sound level checks. Despite its full range of features, it is very easy to use and the large backlit display helps when measuring in poor light conditions.

Large, clear display with back-light
30 to 130 dB(A) Auto Ranging
A and C frequency weighting
Fast and Slow time weighting
Maximum and Minimum sound level readings
Hold button holds the currently displayed level
Includes Wind Shield, Carrying Case and Battery

The Optimus range of sound level meters uses the latest display technology and digital signal processing (DSP) techniques to provide you with a very powerful yet easy to use meter. The ease of use comes from the fact that all parameters are automatically measured at the same time, so no need to think about what you need in the split second before starting the measurement.

Due to its auto-ranging feature and simple push-button operation, this noise meter is extremely easy to use. Just switch it on and it is measuring with the most common settings: "A" frequency weighting and "Fast" time response. At the push of a button you can change it to display the "C" weighted sound level or change to "Slow" time response. The large display with back light make this meter ideal for measuring noise levels where the natural light is poor.

Using the NM102 Noise Meter

The NM102 Noise Meter has been designed to be quick and easy to use. The auto-range feature means that you do not have to select the measurement range before making measurements, which is a problem with most sound level meters. With this meter you just switch on and it starts measuring the "A" weighted, Fast Sound Level, which is ideal for most applications.

The "A" weighted, Fast Sound Level is the parameter that is used for most applications. When you need something different the meter has the following buttons:

	Switches between "A" weighting and "C" weighting.
	Switches between "Fast" time weighting and "Slow" time weighting.
	Holds the sound level that is currently shown on the meter - freezes the display.
	Shows the maximum and minimum sound levels that have been measured. These levels are reset by holding the Max/Min button down for 1 second.
