Aircraft & Airport Noise Monitoring
In most applications, the object of an Airport Noise Monitoring System is to monitor and ultimately, manage and control the noise levels generated by aircraft movements in and around the airport.
The final output of information from the Noise Monitoring System is the most important capability, and often determines the usefulness of the entire system. If the information gathered cannot be accessed and easily understood, even the most comprehensive system has little practical use.
The aim of Cirrus Research plc and their partners is to provide cost effective solutions to the requirement for the measurement and monitoring of noise in and around airports. The systems are designed to provide accurate, concise information to the operator without overwhelming the user with unnecessary complexity.
A Noise Monitoring System from Cirrus Research plc is built from individual "modules". This allows a system to be created with just one Noise Monitor and a simple software program, or expanded up to a full Airport Noise and Flight Track Monitoring System with the addition of the specific components and enhanced software.
Many smaller airports simply require the measurement of the overall noise climate, or the environmental impact of the airport, along with the noise levels produced by individual aircraft movements. This can be performed by a suitable number of Noise Monitoring Terminals and a suitable software program.
The program is chosen to suit the particular application, the number of noise monitors required, and the level of auotmation required. This program provides an interface to the Noise Monitoring Terminals, allowing the instruments to be configured, and the measured information to be download.
Once the information has been downloaded, reports are generated by the integrated database. These reports are designed to provide all of the information required by most users. Where this does not meet the exact requirements of the operator, the "standard" reports can be easily changed and modified as needed.

Environmental Noise Kits for the Optimus Sound Level Meters
|
|
CK:680 Environmental Noise Kit with 3G/GPRS & GPS location dataThe CK:680 outdoor noise kit is suitable for use with the optimus green sound level meters and provides you with a complete outdoor noise measurement solution for environmental and community noise monitoring.
Protection for your sound level meter & microphoneThe CK:680 outdoor noise kit has been designed to protect the sound level meter and the microphone capsule from adverse weather and other contaminents that may affect the measurements.
The windshield on the outdoor microphone has a protective coating which allows it to resist rain. The robust, lockable case contains the sound level meter and a battery pack capable of powering the instrument for 5 days. A further battery pack can be added quickly to extend the operation to 12 days and the battery packs can be hot-swapped for uninterrupted operation. Remote data download & GPS locationThe internal modem in the CK:680 kit allows the optimus to communicate with the NoiseTools software remotely over a 3G/GPRS connection.
The instrument can be configured remotely and measurement data downloaded into the NoiseTools database. This can also be used by the optimus to send alerts via SMS, Email and/or Twitter when the Acoustic Fingerprint™ detection templates are triggered. The CK:680 also contains GPS system which allows the position of the noise measurement to be recorded and stored with the noise data. The GPS signal is also used to ensure that the clock in the sound level meter is accurate. CK:690 for the US/Canada For the US & Canada, the CK:690 is supplied as an alternative to the CK:680. This unit contains an FFC/PTCRB approved modem. All other functions and capabilities are the same as for the CK:680. |

CK:670 Environmental Noise KitThe outdoor noise kits are suitable for use with the optimus green sound level meters and provide you with a complete outdoor noise measurement solution for environmental and community noise monitoring.
The CK:670 outdoor noise kit has been designed to protect the sound level meter and the microphone capsule from adverse weather and other containments that may affect the measurements. The robust, lockable case contains the sound level meter and a battery pack capable of powering the instrument for 7 days. A further battery pack can be added quickly to extend the operation to 14 days and the batteries can be hot-swapped. Each battery pack contains an intelligent charging system to maximize the performance and maintain the operating life over a long period. The case can be locked for security when measurements are being made and can be used to transport all of the parts of the system. The case also has space for the outdoor microphone, cable, an acoustic calibrator, documentation and other accessories that may be needed as well as for the sound level meter. The outdoor microphone mounts onto a standard tripod. |
