Noise meter PCE-322 A 
 noise meter with memory, connector cable and software

Our professional PCE-322 A noise meter is suitable to take measurements in the industrial sector, the health and safety sectors, and to control internal environments such as those with noise contamination. The noise meter internal memory of 32,000 values makes it possible to use this noise meter to save data over long periods of time. The readings of the noise meter can be transferred to a PC via an USB cable. The Windows compatible software of the noise meter (in English) makes it possible to visualise the data in tables and graphs. The zoom function for the noise meter allows for a more detailed analysis of the sound values. This software is not compatible with Windows NT. If this is the case, you should use Windows hyperterminal to transfer the data to Excel for it to be processed. Here you can find another noise meter with the same technical specifications as the noise meter  PCE-322 A, but with the additional Leq function. At this link you can find an overview of all types of noise meters that best suits your needs.

PCE-322 A noise meter

• USB cable to transmit data

• Software compatible with Windows 95, 98, 2000 and XP

• Internal memory for 32,000 values

• Minimum and maximum functions

• Resolution of 0.1dB

• 35mm LCD display with graphic divisions of 2dB (unto 100dB)

• Frequency weighting: A and C

• Frequency range of 31.5 Hz to 8 kHz

The noise meter can be used to measure and save readings directly over a long period of time. The data can be transferred to a PC via an USB connector or analogue output, in order to be analysed after in various formats.
The software that is included allows you to transfer the readings to other programs so they can be analysed and processed. You can create diagrams, columns and view the peak values. The zoom function provides a closer analysis of each reading.

The software is also useful to programme settings for measurements over long periods of time.

Optional accessories
- Acoustic calibrator
Acoustic calibrator for a regular recalibration. The noise meter will be delivered calibrated but the sensor suffers oscillation over time and can be recalibrated independently with the acoustic calibrator to ensure perfect measurements.

- Microphone extension cable
5 meter long cable. If the noise meter is used with this component, it can measure the source of sound in machines directly or check products. With this feature, you can take measurements in areas that are difficult to access.
