Casella Noise Dosimeter Accessories

General Accessories

Calibration is an important part of a planned study of worker noise exposure using personal noise dosimeters and the CEL-120/2 single level device is available in all the standard kits to confirm the correct operation of your dosimeter before and after each run. It delivers a steady level of 114 dB at a frequency of 1 kHz for accurate measurements in the field. The CEL-6355 kit case is custom designed to take all the standard accessories plus up to 12 dBadge dosimeters in a single kit. Packs of replacement foam windscreens are available in sets of 5 for your convenience. Multiple sets of mounting clips are available in packs of 5 as appropriate. Choose from alligator, pin, harness and hard hat mounted versions for the worker to suit the type of clothing. Download from the noise dosimeters takes place using a plug and play infra-red adaptor that connects directly to any USB connection on the computer.

Microphones

Replacement microphones are available for the CEL noise dosimeters. Choose the CEL-252 for the CEL-35X dBadge series or the cable or stalk microphones for the CEL-320 or 360 traditional dosimeters. These microphones are user replaceable in the field.

Power Supplies, Chargers and Cables

Battery chargers and power supplies are available to maintain the dBadge dosimeters in peak performance. Specify the CEL-6362 master charger base with the PC-18 power supply for up to 3 dosimeters. For 4 to 12 dosimeters in a kit add extra CEL-6363 slave charger bases each of which comes with a short C6359 link cable to join multiple chargers together. Additional charger bases and link cables can be ordered as separate items as required.

Insight Software, Plug-in and Licenses

Casella Insight Database Management Software is provided in the standard kits or can be added to earlier kits that were originally supplied with the older dB35 software. Casella Insight runs on Windows XP, Vista and Win 7 operating systems in both 32 and 64 bit versions. The specific CEL-35X Plug-in interfaces with the dBadge dosimeters and allows them to transfer results from memory to the hard drive of the computer where they can be inspected, reviewed and allocated to individual sites, locations and workers. Comprehensive structures can be built that represent the organization where the measurements were carried out and a full reporting package completes the program to provide standard reports with just a few clicks. Casella Insight is extremely versatile and allows users to configure the displays and reports to their own specification for full or simple reports. Exporting results in a wide variety of standard office formats is available to email results off site or to import into other programs if required. The software can be loaded with previous calibration certificates in AcrobatTM pdf format with the renewal date and prompts the user when it is near time to return dosimeters for regular recalibration.

Upgrades for Noise Dosimeters

Various upgrades to improve and enhance the performance of noise dosimeters are available as required. CEL-35X series dosimeters can be upgraded between all model to add the additional benefits of time history data logging in the CEL-350 and 352 models or the LCeq and the L(C-A) results in the CEL-352 Plus model. A basic CEL-320 can be upgraded to the full CEL-360 model to add time history recording plus delay start/stop timers plus the fixed run duration modes if required. Units should be returned to Casella CEL in NH to have the upgrades performed in our service laboratory often as part of the annual recalibration.
