• Maximum sound level, Lmx
• Minimum sound level, Lmn
• Equivalent continuous noise level, Leq
• Sound exposure level, LE
• Time average level, Lv
• aPeak sound level, Lpk

Operation and use

The CEL-360S meter is very straightforward to use with a simple navigational keypad and matching icons in the display that prompt even the inexperienced user. Select the simple sound level meter mode shown by the SLM icon in the bottom left of the display and use the up and down arrow buttons to cycle through the various noise parameters to reach the required unit of measurement. All sound level meter settings are saved for instant use next time.

The average and max values can be reset using the Stop button in the bottom center of the keypad and the Pause button at the bottom left allows unwanted noise to be excluded from the measurement until the user wishes to continue. Any noise occurring during the “pause” time is automatically removed from the ongoing result ensuring the integrity of the overall measurements taken using the CEL-360S instrument.
