The Nova Basic measures Lxy, Lxy Max, and Lxy Min with simultaneous A, C, and Z frequency weightings and Fast, Slow, and Impulse time weightings.

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.

The Nova Environmental Sound Level Meter is an integrating-averaging sound level meter ideal for environmental 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 Environmental measures Leq, Lpeak, Ln values and other essential environmental noise parameters with simultaneous A, C, and Z frequency weightings and Fast, Slow, and Impulse time weightings. It also includes 1:1 octave band analysis for detailed frequency analysis.

The Model 14 Entry-Level Sound Level Meter is a low-cost, Class 2 digital noise meter designed for quick, accurate sound pressure level measurements. It measures A-weighted and C-weighted sound levels using Fast time weighting and offers two measurement ranges, 35 to 100 dB(A) and 65 to 130 dB(A), covering the typical sound levels encountered during basic noise measurements.

The NoiseBadge is a durable, shoulder-mounted personal noise dosimeter designed for monitoring an individual’s daily noise exposure in demanding environments. Fully compliant with IEC 61252:1993 and ANSI S1.25:1991, the NoiseBadge captures all essential occupational noise parameters, including LAeq, LEP,d (LEX,8h), LCPeak, TWA and % Dose over a full working day. With no buttons, screens or cables, it cannot be adjusted or tampered with during use, ensuring reliable and accurate measurements.

The NoisePen is a Class 2 personal sound exposure meter designed for monitoring an individual’s daily noise exposure. Fully compliant with IEC 61252:1993 and ANSI S1.25:1991, the NoisePen captures all essential occupational noise parameters over a full working day. With no buttons, screens or cables, it cannot be adjusted or tampered with during use, ensuring reliable and accurate measurements.

The SafeEar is a noise-activated warning sign that provides a visual alert when noise levels become potentially harmful. When noise levels exceed a chosen threshold, the SafeEar illuminates to provide a clear visual alert that hearing protection must be worn. It is ideal for manufacturing and entertainment environments where noise levels fluctuate, helping workers know exactly when hearing protection is required and when it is safe to remove it.

The Outdoor Noise Measurement Kit converts the Nova into a semi-permanent outdoor noise monitor. Designed for long-term, unattended measurements, it provides up to 14 days of continuous operation and protects the Nova and microphone from harsh conditions.

The Pulsar vB Hand-Arm Vibration Meter is designed to measure vibration from power tools and machinery in accordance with vibration-at-work regulations. It provides accurate measurements of the key parameters required for Hand-Arm Vibration assessments, including Aeq, Peak, Vector Sum and HSE Exposure Points.

The NoiseBadge Intrinsically Safe Noise Dosimeter is a durable, shoulder-mounted personal noise dosimeter designed for monitoring an individual’s daily noise exposure in hazardous or potentially explosive environments. Fully compliant with IEC 61252:1993 and ANSI S1.25:1991, the NoiseBadge captures all essential occupational noise parameters, including LAeq, LEP,d (LEX,8h), LCPeak, TWA and % Dose over a full working day. With no buttons, screens or cables, it cannot be adjusted or tampered with during use, ensuring reliable and accurate measurements.

Field calibration is essential for accurate and legally compliant noise measurements. An acoustic calibrator allows you to check your sound level meter or noise dosimeter before and after each measurement, ensuring your results comply with occupational noise regulations.

The NoiseBadge Reader Unit configures, starts, stops and downloads measurements from the NoiseBadge without requiring any controls on the dosimeter itself. All settings are managed through the Reader, keeping the badges tamper-proof while measurements are taking place.

The Pulsar vB² simplifies vibration assessments by allowing you to measure both hand-arm vibration (HAV) and whole-body vibration (WBV) with a single device. It measures frequency-weighted acceleration on all three axes, displaying Aeq/RMS values, Peak and the Vector Sum. You can begin with either the hand-arm accelerometer or the whole-body seat pad and add the other at any time, giving you a future-proof solution as your needs change.

The HAVi Watch works seamlessly with the HAVi+ Trigger Timer to provide a simple, reliable solution for monitoring hand-arm vibration exposure. Once paired with a HAVi+ unit, the Watch continuously receives and records exposure points, combining data from multiple tools used throughout the shift.

The XD1+ Personal Dust Monitor is a compact, wearable device that provides simple, real-time monitoring of harmful airborne dust. Weighing just 170 g and around a quarter of the size of traditional dust monitors, it is small and light enough to be worn comfortably as part of standard PPE while monitoring exposure directly at the breathing zone. With single-button operation and no pumps, filters, tubes, or replaceable parts, the XD1+ fits naturally into daily work routines. Workers simply switch it on, secure it in place, and it begins monitoring instantly.
