Pulsar - Model Nova -Noise at Work Sound Level Meter

Noise at Work Sound Level Meter

The Pulsar Nova Noise at Work Sound Level Meter is the perfect instrument for conducting workplace noise assessments. Available in Class 1 and Class 2 models, it ensures precise measurements and simultaneously measures the fundamental parameters required to comply with international noise regulations. The Class 2 meter is perfect for general noise monitoring, while the Class 1 model provides increased accuracy for environments requiring stricter control.

Designed for Precision and Ease of Use

The Nova complies with IEC 61672-1:2013, guaranteeing accurate and reliable readings. The bright TFT display ensures clear visibility in any environment, while the soft-touch keypad and intuitive menu system make navigation effortless. This meter simultaneously captures A, C, and Z frequency weightings, along with Fast, Slow, and Impulse time weightings, while also measuring LAeq and LCpeak for peak sound levels, ensuring a thorough noise assessment. An optional 1:1 octave band upgrade allows for in-depth frequency analysis, helping safety professionals choose the right hearing protection.

Ideal for Professionals in Various Industries

From workplace noise risk assessments to machinery noise testing, the Pulsar Nova provides reliable and compliant noise monitoring. The Nova Noise at Work Sound Level Meter is also ideal for construction noise monitoring and entertainment noise measurements, making it a versatile choice for professionals in various industries. The Nova series is also upgradeable, allowing you to add new features over time to meet your evolving needs.
