CEL-593 Real time logging and event analyzer

The CEL-593 is the flagship of the CEL family of real time analyzers and has all of the capabilities of both the CEL-553 and the CEL-573 instruments. The main difference for the CEL-593 is the addition of the "Event" mode of data recording where a user selectable noise level can be entered as a threshold value to trigger the collection of specific recordings that are considered to be significant in a long term noise investigation. This event mode can be selected at the same time as the regular environmental mode thereby allowing the collection of regular timed interval data sets and the impacts of the significant noisy events. It is possible to select a 1 second time history function during each event that allows the noise profile to be viewed on the screen of the meter to look for characteristic signatures of certain noise sources. All the events may be made in octave or third octaves depending on the instrument in use and information gathered using this function can be used to "correct" the period levels for "what if" calculations when results are downloaded to the computer. In addition to the regular event mode the CEL-593 features a rapid data gathering mode called "Fastore" where spectral results can be captured as fast as 100 times per second. This makes the instrument particularly suitable for the investigation of any short duration transient noises like gunfire or piling.

Measurement Applications Common to all CEL-500 Series Instruments
Application name Purpose of application Part number
"Fastore" * Available for all bandwidths with data capture rates from 10 milli sec to 1 sec for spectral recording (5 milli sec to 1 sec for broadband recording) to acquire transient data as fast as possible. Useful for gunfire, piling, impact noise, helicopter noise studies, low flying aircraft etc. CEL-5X3UPT
"Building Acoustics" Available for all bandwidths with 10 milli sec data capture for capturing decay times during reverberation time studies in enclosed spaces such as cinemas, theaters, swimming pools, apartments, houses etc. Instrument firmware can use either the impulsive method or continuous method to measure reverberation times with all control of the noise generation system carried out by the analyzer. Also has capability to measure noise levels on the source and receive side of partitions to measure the effectiveness of walls or ceilings. CEL-5X3UPR
"Loudness" Available only with 'C' versions of the analyzers which have the third octave capability to measure the sound quality inside automobiles or trucks when driving on the roads. Can be used to obtain an objective measure of the noise produced by household appliances such as washing machines or food processors to create a more acceptable noise from such sources. CEL-5X3UPL
"Logging" ** Available only with analyzers fitted with the CEL-526 Dual range preamplifier to offer 100 dB measurement range capability for long term unattended noise monitoring at such sites as quarries, large factory complexes etc. A real time output is available during a measurement that can be viewed remotely using appropriate CEL Windows software using modems or direct cable links. CEL-5X3.X100
* Note that the Fastore Application is included as standard with all CEL-593 models.
** Note that this is available only with the Type 1 versions of the CEL-500 series by specifying the 100 dB variant after the main model number. e.g. CEL-573.A100
