Compared to many basic sound level meters, the Assessor range from Pulsar are integrated meters, which mean they can measure and calculate average (or time-averaged) noise measurements such as LEQ or LEQT/LAeq(t).

Most New Zealand standards and local council bylaws are based on integrated measurements for the average noise levels. For general noisy environments, using an Assessor model will allow you to accurately determine these levels.

For occupational noise, the Assessor 82A can also display the estimated noise exposure duration (LEX,8). This feature estimates the noise exposure in the workplace that would be achieved if the measurement was made over a longer period of time. This makes the Assessor the ideal meter for simple noise exposure surveys in the workplace.

The Assessor 82A comes with dat recording and the Analyser software package (CD Rom), which allows the user to download the data from the Assessor to a PC computer. Simply download the recorded data an a Periodic LEQ report can be generated using the software supplied.

Manufactured in the United Kingdom, the meter is simple to operate and featuring a robust die cast construction. The Assessor has a large easy to read LCD screen which displays all the relevant sound level information at one time.

Calibration up to date through to February 2024.
