Pulsar Model 16 Class 2 Sound Level Meter with calibration certificate

The Model 16 is a professional Class 2 Sound Level Meter from Pulsar Instruments plc.

This type of meter is used for attaining a general sound level (dBA decibels) in your location.

Class 2 (or Type 2) is a common type of sound level meter that conforms to the requirements and accuracy of the international IEC 61672-1 standard for SPL (sound pressure level) meters.
Calibrated by Pulsar and tested prior to sale, the Model 16 meets the demands of the trade user and is ideal for users wanting to measure sound levels in a commercial, industrial or residential location, in a factory, school, public facility or on a construction site.

The Model 16 has an easy to read backlit LCD display, which shows the sound level (SPL) in decibels (dBA).
The operator can select either the standard A-frequency-weighting or the alternative C-frequency-weighting.
The Model 16 also measure LMax and LPeak values.
These values are very useful for determining the approximate maximum level of sound output from the source (LMax) and/or maximum exposure to sound (LPeak).

For certain applications, such as fire alarm testing, the Model 16 is best used in the 'Slow' rather than 'Fast' weighting mode.

If you require compliant sound level values to meet NZ/AUS standards such as L_eq, L₁₀ or L₉₀, please click here to view the Integrated and Data Logging Sound Level Meters.

The Model 16 is issued with a traceable factory test calibration certificate from Pulsar in England.
