PCE-318 noise meter
noise meter with a range between 26 and 130dB (A) and an analogue output / can be recalibrated / class II (accuracy ±1.5dB)

The PCE-318 noise meter determines the volume from an acoustic level of 26dB(A). Therefore, the PCE-318 noise meter is perfect to determine even minimal noises, such as those emitted by computer fans. The class II noise meter with a large display is suited to take measurements in various environments, for example the work place, in the control of machines, etc. This device has been  developed according to IEC 651 type II and has an accuracy of ±1.5dB. Another advantage of this noise meter is its analogue output that allows to be connected to an external data logger to take readings over a period of time. Here you can find other noise meters with similar technical specifications but with internal an memory and software.

  - Measurement range of 26 to 130 dB
 
  - 6 ranges to choose from
 
  - Analogue output (AC & DC) / to be used in
   combination with an optional data logger (see
   optional accessories below)
 
  - Memory for 99 readings that can be shown on
    the display
 
  - Frequency range 31.5 Hz to 8 kHz
 
  - Large display
 
  - Adjustable measurement ranges: Low & High
 
  - Frequency weighting: A and C (Information)
 
  - Temporary value: Slow & Fast
    (Information about temporary value)
 
  - Min. & Max. Hold function
 
  - Can be mounted on a tripod
 
  - Includes microphone windscreen

Acoustic calibrator
Acoustic calibrator for a regular recalibration. The noise meter will be delivered calibrated but the sensor suffers oscillation over time. With the acoustic calibrator the device can be recalibrated independently to allow for optimal measurements.

ISO calibration certificate
For companies that wish to include the device in their group of internal tools or for annual recalibrations (if the calibrator is not used). The ISO calibration includes a laboratory calibration that includes a document with all the measurement values. 

Data logger
The device can be attached to this data logger to take measurements over a long duration of time. The data logger has 4 inputs and a memory capacity for 32,520 readings. If you connect four devices to the data logger at the same time, approximately 8000 readings will be available for each channel. In order to use the data logger, you must purchase the necessary software pack and cables.

Software pack for the data logger
Windows software and RS-232 cable for the use with the data logger. The software allows you:
 - to adjust the data logger's settings
 - to read the stored data
 - to graphic representation of readings on a PC

RS-232 to USB adaptor
The software pack will be delivered with a standard RS-232 data cable. If you wish to send the data online or transfer the data saved in memory to a laptop or another portable data device, you will need this USB adaptor.

Power cable
180 cm long, open-ended cable that you can connect directly to the data logger, or DC inputs of 0 to 2.5 volts at one end and a jack connector at the other end (the jack connector is included a as part of the noise meter delivery).

Power adaptor
The supply of regular power will prevent erroneous measurements caused by failing batteries.  If you take measurements over long periods of time with the connected data logger, it is recommended to use a power adaptor.

Tripod
Light-weight aluminium tripod.  It is useful to make series of measurements and it guarantees that readings can be reproduced more accurately by keeping the microphone fixed in place. Furthermore, the user is free to record readings manually or to perform other tasks.

Microphone extension cable
5 meter long cable. If the noise meter is used with this component, it can measure the source of sound in machines directly or check products. The cable makes it possible to take measurements in areas that are difficult to access.
