Optimus Sound Level Meter - Newsletter - February 2010

The new Cirrus Optimus Sound Level Meter is now available.

• For all occupational noise surveys: OSHA, MSHA, ACGIH, Canadian, European, etc.
• Voice Tag recording for audio notes
• Single span 20 to 140 dB
• OLED color display for very clear readings
• Data Logging option
• Real-Time Octave Band Filters option

This meter is ideal for noise assessments in factories, power stations, construction sites, all the usual places with high levels of industrial noise. With the Octave Band Filters, the software also calculates the level at the ear when wearing different hearing protectors.

All the advanced features (logging, octave bands, voice tag, etc.) can be added at a later date if not included in the initial purchase.

CR150 Series Optimus - Basic Occupational Noise Measurements

The CR150 is intended for basic noise surveys (OSHA, MSHA) that need a very accurate and repeatable measurement. It is available with or without data logging.

If bought without Data Logging, it can be easily added at a later date.

Real-Time Octave Band Filters

Real-time octaves are fitted to some of the Optimus range and are available as an option on the whole range. As with most options for this meter, they can be added at a later date without returning the meter to the factory.

The filters in the Optimus are Real-Time. Also known as Parallel Filters, this means that all filters are operating at the same time, making the measurement process much easier and quicker than the lower cost serial filters available on many other meters.

Noise Tools Software

The data logging option for the Optimus sound level meter comes with the NoiseTools software, which is used to configure the meter, download measurements and print reports. This is also where you listen to the Voice Tags that may have been recorded along with a measurement.

Measurements can be linked to people and places, making filing, search and reporting a simple task.
