The Nova Noise at Work Sound Level Meter is an integrating-averaging sound level meter ideal for occupational noise assessments. The Nova complies with IEC 61672-1:2013 and is available as a Class 1 or Class 2 meter, with Class 2 suitable for general noise monitoring and Class 1 providing the increased accuracy required for certain applications or regulations. The Nova Noise at Work measures Leq, Lpeak and other essential occupational noise parameters with simultaneous A, C, and Z frequency weightings and Fast, Slow, and Impulse time weightings.
Suitable for occupational noise assessments
The Nova Noise at Work is ideal for occupational noise assessments, as it simultaneously measures all essential occupational noise parameters. It covers a dynamic measurement range of 20 dB(A) to 140 dB(A) and is suitable for occupational noise assessments across a wide range of industries, including manufacturing, education, construction, healthcare and entertainment.
Straightforward operation with a robust design
The Nova Noise at Work Sound Level Meter has a robust die-cast aluminium casing, making it ideal for use in a variety of environments. Its bright TFT display remains clear in a wide range of lighting conditions, and the soft-touch keypad and intuitive menu system make navigation effortless. All frequency and time weightings are measured simultaneously for ease of use, and the included alkaline batteries typically provide more than 30 hours of battery life, allowing the meter to be used continuously for extended periods.
Optional upgrades and other Nova models
The Nova Noise at Work can be upgraded at any time after purchase, allowing additional functionality to be added as requirements change. When the optional data logging feature is enabled, measurements are saved to the 4GB memory card and can be downloaded to our licence-free AnalyzerPlus software for analysis and reporting. The optional 1:1 octave band upgrade provides a breakdown of the frequencies that make up the measured noise, allowing you to identify problematic frequencies and select the most appropriate hearing protection.
For environmental noise assessments that require additional functionality, such as repeat timers and Ln values, the Nova range also includes the Nova Environmental Sound Level Meter.
