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). For this, the PCE-318 noise meter is perfect for determining noise minimums, such as those emitted by computer fans. The class II noise meter with large display is adequate for taking measurments in different environments, such as 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 it to be connected to an external data logger to take readings over a duration of time. Here you will find other noise meters with similar technical specifications but with internal memeory 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 dsiplay.
 
  - 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 regular recalibration. The noise meter comes calibrated but the sensor suffers oscillation over time and with the acoustic calibrator can be recalibrated independantly to allow for optimum measurements.

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

Data logger
The device can be attached to this data logger to take readings over a large 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 avaiable for each channel. To be able to use the data logger, you must acquire the necessary software pack and cables.

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

RS-232 to USB adaptor
The software pack comes with a standard RS-232 data cable. If you wish to send the data online or transfer later 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 to 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 as part of the noise meter shipment).

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

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

Microphone extension cable
5 meter long cable. If the noise meter is used with this component, it will be able to measure directly the source of sound in machines or to check products. It will also allow for readings to be taken in areas that are difficult to access.
