In line with the ISO 5130 standard, the CR261S is a Class 1 or Type 1 meter to IEC 61672, IEC 60804 and ANSI S1.4. The Class 1 meters are more accurate than Class 2 and the ISO standard demands this level of accuracy. As a result of it being specifically designed for the noise testing of motor vehicles, it is very quick and easy to use, with only the functions needed for this type of application. The meter's case, which is designed for acoustic performance, is of a robust alloy, making it ideal for use in workshops, garages and by the road side.

Vehicle Noise Measurements

When used as a simple hand-held meter, the CR261S measures the Fast Sound Level, LAF. When used with the Remote Control, which plugs into the bottom of the meter, it makes three consecutive measurements, as required by the standards. The meter shows the three Maximum Sound Levels, LAFmax, that were measured. The use of the remote control allows the user to operate or monitor the operation of the vehicle's throttle whilst still controlling the start of measurements. It is possible for a single person to make the measurements.
