Lärmmessgeräte Pulsar Models 82CA & 81CA
Affordable Hearing Protection Prescription
Features
- Automatic C-A measurement mode
- Ideal for HML method of hearing protection calculation
- Hearing protection measurements have never been easier; The C-A mode ensures automatic measurement calculation
- Expands the original concept of the basic Assessor for those with noisy work places that prefer an affordable but legal method of specifying suitable hearing protection measurements
The Models 82CA & 81CA are the ideal instruments for those who do not want to pay extra for an instrument with 1:1 Octave Band Filters because the HML method (High, Medium and Low), is an established and accepted method of calculating hearing protection.
All hearing protection (PPE) should be supplied by the manufacturer with attenuation (reduction) values for each of the H, M and L values. By knowing the ‘C’ and ‘A’ weighted Leq values and the difference between them you can use either a spreadsheet of simple formula to prescribe suitable hearing protection for your workforce.
Example of typical spreadsheet calculator below:
C-A measurement mode
By just pressing the C-A button, the instruments will automatically switch to ‘C-A’ Measurement Mode. A Blue indicator shows that you are now measuring in C-A mode rather than the normal Broadband mode.
The instrument will make an Leq measurement with dB(C) weighting (LCeq) and will continue until the average level has settled. When the level has settled, the instrument will switch to dB(A) and repeat the process with ‘A’ weighting. When this level has also settled, the instrument will display the LCeq, LAeq and in large digits the resultant LCeq – LAeq value on screen.
Making this type of measurement has never been easier as everything is done in an automatic cycle for you.
