Simplicity of use combined with maximum functionality, all in a pocket sized instrument, were key objectives for the development of the Castle GA215 Integrating Sound Level Meter.

A feature packed, pocket instrument that is fully compliant with IEC 61672-1:2002 Class 2, IEC 60651: 2001 Type 2 and IEC 60804: 2000 Type 2. This meter gives simultaneous sound pressure (Lp) and peak (Pmax) measurement for a multitude of tasks including initial spot-check assessments to the Noise at Work Regulations 1989. It has a high-specification measurement microphone and is cased in tough, crack resistant ABS plastic.

Feature Packed
Designed for Engineers, Industrial Safety Officers and anyone with a need for competent sound measurements. This meter can assist with compliance to the Health and Safety at Work Act; Noise at Work regulation 1989. The Castle GA215 is a great general purpose sound level meter that will fit in your pocket and be ready whenever you need it.

• Integrated equivalent level (Leq) measurement
• Personal Sound Exposure Level (Lex) was (Lep'd)
• Sound Pressure (Lp) to 0.1 dB resolution
• 'A' and 'C' frequency weighting (toggle)
• 'Slow' and 'Fast' Time weighting (toggle)
• Simultaneous measurement of Lp, Lmax, and Pmax
• Lmax - maximum Lp hold (rms.)
• Pmax - maximum peak level
• Elapsed time (running time hrs, min, sec)
• Overload and Under-range indication
• Battery condition (Life approx. 14 hours)

A Tough Case for all Weathers...
The physical design and construction of the Castle GA215 casing is extremely tough and durable, made from a substantial thickness of ABS, crack resistant plastic, the GA215 will stand up to almost any industrial environment.

Simplicity and Power...
Using the meter could not be simpler. The simple operating system uses logical keys to immediately display the information you need. The power of this little wonder means that it can measure simultaneous ‘A’ weighted levels as well as monitoring the Peak levels. This is a vital feature for many assessment tasks.

Future Proof...
The built in software for this meter is designed to suit future upgrading for feature enhancements, legislative changes or instrument upgrades. Details are mailed to customers as soon as they become available. With the Castle Pocket meters, you will always be in step with the law and market requirements.
