Brüel & Kjær - Model Type 2250 -Sound Level Meter
An advanced, single-channel, hand-held analyzer and sound level meter that has everything needed to perform high-precision, Class 1 measurement tasks in environmental, occupational and industrial application areas. Type 2250 is a highly versatile, cloud enabled, modular platform with many optional application modules such as frequency analysis, FFT, advanced logging (profiling) and sound recording. Field measurements are supported with Measurement Partner Field App, an advanced companion app.

Remote connection
Access your analyzer from anywhere: Type 2250 allows direct operation through Wi-Fi, mobile connections such as a 3G, 4G, LTE external modem or by using LAN.
And with the new UL-1050 micro-USB “plug and play” solution for Wi-Fi connection in the field, you can remotely control and monitor your analyzer directly from the Measurement Partner Field App at a safe distance without disturbing your measurement.
Control and annotate your measurement with the Field App
The Field App is an advanced companion app to Type 2250 offering remote instrument control, display, annotation of measurement data and cloud support. It supports all annotation types such as note, voice commentary, image, video and GPS. All annotations are uploaded to Measurement Partner Cloud for merging with the analyzer project in Measurement Partner Suite, transforming the way you work with your Type 2250 analyzer in the field.
Upload your data to Measurement Partner Cloud
Users who have connected their instrument to the internet can upload their measurement data to Measurement Partner Cloud in the field as soon as the project is saved.
The measurement data is ready and waiting for you (or a colleague) in a cloud archive in Measurement Partner when you get back to the office.
Post-processing with Measurement Partner Suite
Measurement Partner Suite BZ‐5503, in its basic configuration, comes with your hand-held analyzer (see product data sheet). It is Brüel & Kjær`s state‐of‐the‐art data viewing and post‐processing toolbox for environmental noise and vibration. The free, basic configuration provides Measurement Partner Cloud support, Field App support, data archive, preview and export capabilities, software maintenance and online display.
Additional valuable data analysis and post‐processing tools are available on a time‐limited subscription basis. You only pay for what you need, when you need it, with no penalty should your subscription lapse.
-
Application modules as the need arises: The software concept of Type 2250 allows you to configure the instrument to precisely match your requirements, using your preferred combination of application modules. Additional modules can be purchased as required – and simply installed with a new license. In this way, your investment is securely protected as your measurement platform can expand along with your needs. All application modules are constantly maintained to ensure our sound level meters always comply with the very latest international standards.
-
Vibration enhancements: The Enhanced Vibration and Low Frequency Sound option adds additional single-axis vibration capability. Time-domain integration and bandpass filtering allow measurement of Peak Particle Velocity (PPV) useful for monitoring buildings near blasting, construction and mining. A wide range of human vibration filters is also available.
-
Signal recording in high resolution: The signal recording option on Type 2250 allows you to record the input signal in either 16-bit or 24-bit recording. Use 16-bit recording with Automatic Gain Control when you just need to listen to the signal to identify noise sources, use 24-bit when you want to perform an analysis in Measurement Partner Suite during post-processing.
Touch-sensitive screen and key pad
The large colour screen presents a wealth of information clearly, and is highly customizable, making interaction easy and intuitive. Buttons give single-click access to the most important and frequent commands like start/pause, save, voice comment and event marking.
Select the night-time colour scheme and you can easily read the display without disturbing your night vision, while the keys are gently backlit.
-
Clear feedback on measurement quality: Immediate, detailed feedback about measurement quality comes from features such as a `smiley face` quality indicator and a `traffic light` system – informing you of measurement status even from a distance.
-
Smart transducer database: Many transducers can be connected to the instrument, and once one has been used it is remembered by the transducer database. Simply selecting it from the menu automatically attaches all the relevant data to the measurement, including the transducer`s last calibration. Polarization voltage is also set automatically.
Weather station kits
Weather conditions affect the propagation of sound and need be taken into account when measuring noise outdoors. Capture weather data directly on your Type 2250 using Brüel & Kjær’s two or six parameterweather station kits. Back in the office, post-process your data in Measurement Partner Suite, automatically selecting portions of your data within your weather `window`.
Automatic windscreen correction
Type 2250 automatically detects when you mount and remove the windscreen, and apply the corresponding correction filter. The specific windscreen information is saved permanently with the measurement setup and data.
