The top-of-the-range testo 816-1 sound level meter complies
with all requirements with regard to the execution of non-conform noise
level measurements according to IEC 61672-1 Class 2 and ANSI S1.4 Type
2. This makes it suitable for carrying out noise level measurements in
the workplace, public places, industry and production.
The testo 816-1 has all the features which its little brother, the testo
816, has but also comes with a built-in data logger that can save up to
31000 readings and dedicated PC software.
The sound level meter for pros: measure, save, analyse
The testo 816-1 also comes with a practical all-in-one carry bag and a
whole host of technical features and benefits designed to allow you to
carry out professional noise level measurements as a part of health and
safety inspections and immission controls. Benefits include being able
to change the measuring rate from slow (one measurement/second) to fast
(one measurement/125 milliseconds) and being able to select between two
frequency measurement types: characteristic curve A which corresponds to
the way the human ear perceives sound pressure and characteristic curve
C which measures the low frequency percentage of the noise.
In addition, you can also use the optional sound calibrator and the
screwdriver included in the scope of delivery to recalibrate your testo
816-1 sound level meter on site wherever you are.
The sound level meter also has a backlit display for use in all lighting
conditions, an internal data logger that can save up to 31000
measurements, a USB cable which allows you to hook your meter up to a PC
and transfer the data directly and dedicated PC software designed to
help you manage and analyse the data you have collected.
Areas of use for the testo 816-1 sound level meter
Health and safety is a key issue in the workplace where noise levels are
not allowed to exceed certain decibel limits. But high noise levels are
just as much an issue in public places where environmental noise caused
by traffic, industry and public events not only reaches levels which
some residents find uncomfortable or annoying but which can also be
harmful to their health.
The testo 816-1 sound level meter is designed for checking and measuring
noise levels in the workplace and in public places using selective or
long-term measurements.
