Cirrus Research (UK) is offering a “One Product/One Price” package that covers all Noise at Work requirements through its Optimus Red noise measurement meters.

With no hidden extras at hidden costs, the Optimus Red can claim to be the industry leading product that covers ALL areas of UK and European Noise at Work legislation, taking away any uncertainty for professionals looking for a Class 2 sound level meter. A sound level meter used for Noise at Work measurements should ideally meet Class 2 of the latest standards and all of the Optimus Red instruments meet or exceed this requirement.

“We know that it can be confusing for customers in terms of which product will meet their exact needs and that’s why we have the Optimus Red so they know it has absolutely everything covered for Noise at Work measurements,” explained Marketing Manager Thomas Shelton.

“Some products on the market offer a basic noise measurement model but then you have to choose add-ons such as a data logging system. We decided to offer a one product/one price deal that we know covers all the Noise at Work requirements which is our specialism.”  

Included in the Optimus Red 162C as standard is: Data Logging of measurements and calibration records, 1:1 octave filters, Voice Tag Audio recording, Single Timer, and TWA Dose.

Other advantages offered by the Optimus Red Range include: 15-year “no quibble” warranty that also covers accidental damage, A free place on the relevant Cirrus product training course, Three independent integrators for every function to meet UK, EU, OSHA, MSHA or ACGIH - all at the same time, Real-time 1:1 octave band filters (C version), Simultaneous measurement of dB(A), dB(C) and dB(Z) Frequency Weightings, 120dB measurement span all the way up to 140dB(A) and 143dB(C) peak, 4GB Memory in the B&C versions hundreds of measurements, and Licence free installation of the NoiseTools software with free, lifetime updates.

“When it comes to Noise at Work measurements, we know that the Optimus Red ticks all the boxes on every legislative level,” concludes Thomas.

With 40 years’ experience of innovation and customer support, Cirrus is also backed by ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 14001:2004 Quality Management Systems.
