PULSAR NOVA 43 & 44 – Industrial Noise Meters

The PULSAR NOVA MODEL 43 & MODEL 44 are high-performance integrating averaging sound level meters, engineered for accurate and compliant Noise at Work and industrial noise assessments. Whether you’re measuring factory machinery noise, monitoring exposure in construction, or assessing environmental sound levels in entertainment venues, these instruments deliver precision, durability, and ease of use.
Compliant with IEC 61672-1:2013, the Model 43 (Class 1) and Model 44 (Class 2) provide accurate measurements for both occupational and environmental applications. Designed for professionals who require straightforward operation without compromising on quality, the Nova sound meters combine advanced functionality with rugged reliability, helping ensure worker protection and full compliance with Noise at Work regulations.
How It Works
Both meters perform integrating and averaging sound measurements, capturing Leq, Peak, and C-A values simultaneously to calculate accurate exposure levels and determine correct hearing protection requirements.
The AnalyzerPlus software, included as standard, allows users to download measurement data, analyse it graphically, and generate official reports instantly. The simple keypad interface and bright display make on-site operation intuitive and efficient, while the pause and back-erase function ensures precise control during live measurements.
The durable metal casing protects the unit in industrial environments, and its extended 30-hour battery life ensures uninterrupted operation, even during long monitoring sessions.
