Quick, simple and easy to use
With just three button pushes you can start a measurement and get all of the information you need to assess and deal with your noise issues.
You investment is protected as we've designed all of the optimus instruments to be upgradable with new and additional measurement functions.

What ever you need, it's already measured.
All of optimus sound level meters will measure all of the available functions at the same time.
This means that no matter what the display is showing, you can be sure that you can't choose the wrong function.
For example, if you've set the instrument to display the Leq and you need to see the TWA & Lavg, just press the right arrow key and the Dose View will give you all of the information you need to meet OSHA, MSHA or ACGIH.

What does an optimus measure?
All versions of the optimus red will give you Sound Level (SPL), Leq & Peak(C) and the Dose View.
The Dose View gives you TWA, Lavg, Dose and Estimated % Dose for two separate integrators or "virtual noise meters".
For example, this lets you measure to OSHA HC & PEL at the same time so you can make effective noise measurements and get the information that you need.
