For Basic Noise At Work Assessments We Have You Covered

If you want to obtain quick, simple noise measurement readings, you may just need a very basic sound pressure level or SPL meter. Typical uses for such a meter can be for testing fire alarm sounders, sound systems in pubs, or for on-the-spot checks of noise levels in warehouses, offices and manufacturing units. But, with so many SPL meters on the market, where do you turn?

An SPL meter such as the Model 14 manufactured by Pulsar Instruments is extremely easy to use for obtaining the most commonly required noise measurements such as SPL, LCF, LAFmax, LCFMax. This SPL meter meets the full requirements of IEC 61672:2002-1 performance standard for a Class 2 sound level meter for added peace of mind. It only weighs 227gms and can be carried over the shoulder in the pouch supplied.

This meter represents incredible value if you consider all the features it offers.

It has a large and easy to read display, which shows the Sound Pressure Level in decibels. You can select either the standard ‘A’ frequency weighting or the alternative ‘C’ frequency weighting. The Maximum Hold (HOLD) function allows you to freeze the display showing the highest decibel level measured.

For certain applications, such as fire alarm testing, the Pulsar Model 14 offers the option of ‘Slow’ rather than ‘Fast’ weighting.

Two measurement ranges are included, measuring the most typically encountered levels from 35dB(A) to 130dB(A).

The meter is supplied with a 24 month warranty, operating manual, certificate of calibration, 9V battery, calibration screwdriver and windshield. It can be ordered as a complete measurement kit which includes all the accessories needed to carry out basic noise at work measurement assessments. We recommend that you purchase an acoustic calibrator to use with the meter. It is vital that this SPL meter is calibrated before and after each measurement to ensure accuracy of any measurements.

Pulsar offer full after-sale and recalibration services for this meter from its UK operation.
