Sound level meter Pulsar 5/7 Series
for Noise at Work

Pulsar 5/7 Series for Noise at Work

• Simple and user friendly
• Compact with robust construction
• Compliance to all the appropriate standards

Industrial and environmental sound monitoring situations have exacting requirements of sound level meters. That is why Pulsar Instruments produce the 5 & 7 Series of digital sound level meters that are designed to meet the needs of the professional whilst being simple and user friendly enough for the new user. The use of simple switches for most functions means that making initial measurements and flicking between different settings is child's play, there are no complex menus to learn and switching between different frequency and time weightings is as easy as turning on a light.

Pulsar sound level meters conform to all the appropriate British, European and International standards. The Type 1 instruments conform to the precision grade whilst the Type 2 to the general-purpose grade of IEC 60651 or IEC60804. Filters used in the octave analyser also conform to the relevant standards.

Pulsar 51 & 52

These instruments are ideal for measuring general noise levels to identify whether a site is in need of further investigation as well as for monitoring problematic areas.

These instruments are available in:

• Type 1 (precision grade) Pulsar 51
• Type 2 (general purpose) Pulsar 52

Application Notes and FAQ

Pulsar 73 & 74

These instruments have been developed with not only Noise at Work regulations in mind, but also hearing defender selection. These instruments can measure all three action levels simultaneously and with an octave filter set built in, it allows the user to measure the noise level in each of the frequency bands. This can then give the user the momentary, average and maximum level in each octave, enabling them to decide which is the best type of hearing defender needed.

Pulsar 73 meets the precision instrument standard
Pulsar 74 is classed as general purpose.

Application Notes and FAQ

Noise at Work

These regulations require the work place to be surveyed regularly to identify harmful noise levels and then to determine the exposure of each individual employee. This has to be done in terms of Leq, LEP,d and Peak levels. If a hazardous situation is identified it is then necessary to take immediate action to protect any employees who might be exposed. The best short-term action is to supply hearing defenders; it can be very easy to choose the wrong hearing defenders, ones that over-protect the employee allowing the comfort and utilisation factors to decline or worse, ones that under protect. Noise is made up of different frequencies and it follows that there are different hearing protectors available that work better at some frequencies and not so well at others. If the employer wants to make accurate and effective decisions to prevent compensatory claims, then here at Pulsar we have the resources and the equipment available to provide the right answers!
