The Issue
The assessment of environmental noise within the community or industrial workplace typically requires that you capture an uninterrupted history of noise data for a temporary but extended period of time. Several challenges can arise when you try to apply conventional measurement instrumentation to this task. Your very costly noise measurement studies and instrumentation may be at risk of disruption or damage from exposure to wind, rain, snow, chemicals, particulates, animals, tampering, vandalism and theft. Conventional meters are also likely to lack the power capacity to run continuously for the extended time periods you require.

The Solution
Quest Technologies offers the SoundPro DLX Outdoor Measurement System Conversion Kit as a tool for substantially reducing or eliminating the many risks presented above. The weatherproof case holds the meter and battery pack with room for accessories and storage of the system components while not in use. Exposed components are made of stainless steel or ABS and engineered polymers.

The conversion kit provides environmental protection and rechargeable batteries for extended outdoor operation of the SoundPro DLX (up to one week of continuous operation). The weatherproof case also provides a stable base for mounting the microphone mast. There is an internal battery monitor circuit to reduce the risk of damaging the batteries by overdischarge.

The circuit also protects against over-voltage, over-temperature (70° C or 158° F), and over-current (2 amps, each output). There is an onboard universal input battery charger that fully recharges two empty batteries in about 16 hours. Provisions exist in the case design to allow customer-supplied padlocks and cables to be used to lock the case and secure it to a stationary object.
