Columbia, MD, February 23, 2009: - Scantek, Inc., is pleased to announce the availability of the newest products from Castle, the All New ‘Sonus’ pocket sized sound level meter range.

Castle Group Ltd has completely re-vamped its range of pocket sized sound meters The ‘Sonus’ names denote a high level of specification, packed into a small body. At the top of the range is a combined Sound- and Dose-meter sporting dual-frequency measurement, data-logging to a sizeable memory and measurements to support noise at work and environmental applications.

This new range of instrument is designed for professionals in the health and environmental noise fields, and has dedicated modes to match the task in hand. The innovative dual-frequency measurement means not having to repeat measurement and is ideal for hearing protection calculations and the additional availability of 3 Ln percentile values makes this the most powerful meter in its class. Housed in a tough, crack resistant plastic case, the Sonus meters will stand up to almost any environment.

Once measurements have been taken, the data can be downloaded into Castle’s standard dBdata software for producing graphs and tables and for copying and pasting data into standard software such as Microsoft Word or Excel. 

The Sonus range features three Class 1 and three Class 2 instruments to the new IEC61672 Standard as well as two dosimeters. They have a measurement range from 30-140 dB, with parameters such as Leq (time-weighted average), Lmax (maximum level), LCpeak (peak level), Lepd (exposure level), LE (sound exposure level and three Ln percentiles all simultaneously.  It can measure two frequency weightings simultaneously as ‘A’ and ‘C’ or ‘A’ and ‘Z’ and has FAST, SLOW and IMPULSE time constants.  By simply unplugging the microphone and plugging in a dosimeter cable, the top-range Sonus becomes a personal exposure meter (Dosimeter).
