Description

The NoisePen Personal Sound Exposure Meter has no cables, displays or controls, and needs no separate charger or reader unit, making it simple to use and the perfect solution for monitoring Noise at Work over a whole working day or week especially for shift workers, lone workers, confined-space workers and people working in remote areas. The NoisePen noise dosemeter is fully compliant with noise at work health and safety measurement standards around the world.

This great value, self-contained personal noise dosemeter can capture, record and calculate noise exposure data for a period of time over 30 hours. The NoisePen measures all the noise parameters you need for legally compliant occupational noise monitoring. This PSEM is a self-contained noise monitor ideally suited for workers ‘on the go’; it has no cables, displays or controls and several different mounting options are available.

The NoisePen does not require an additional Charger or Reader Unit – all interactions are done via USB to a PC and our outstanding powerful analysis and reporting software, Pulsar AnalyzerPlus:

  • All noise measurement programming and key functions such as start-stop, set up and configuration of the device, download, view and store measurements are performed before or on completion of field measurements.
  • Calibration of the NoisePen is also undertaken before taking a measurement with an acoustic calibrator and verified and logged via the software.  The same process is carried out on return of the unit to your office.
  • Schedule a timed measurement at a date and time of your choice. You can also repeat a selected measurement pattern over a period of 7 days without having to reset the NoisePen.
  • Get a full map of Time History information to help you determine when key noise problems occur during a worker’s day.
  • View all the essential data you need such LAeq, LEP,d, % Dose and TWA for compliance with occupational noise regulations
  • The additional ‘C’ frequency weighted peak Time History allows you to fully assess risks from impulsive noise in the workplace.

NOTE: an acoustic calibrator is required for the field calibration and activation of the NoisePen. You can choose to add one above.

The NoisePen can be purchased on its own or as a complete kit that includes the dosimeter, an acoustic calibrator, and a carrying case.

The sections below outline the basic operation of the NoisePen Noise Dosimeter. For full instructions, please refer to the user manual.

 

Charging the NoisePen

Fully charge the NoisePen before use using the supplied USB cable. The LED glows red while charging and turns blue when fully charged. A full charge typically takes less than four hours and provides up to 24 hours of operation.

 

Connecting to AnalyzerPlus

Plug the NoisePen into a PC with our licence-free AnalyzerPlus software installed. The software automatically detects the device and opens the NoisePen window. From here, you can configure the NoisePen, synchronise the clock and schedule measurements.

 

Calibrating the NoisePen

Before and after each measurement, remove the windshield and fit an acoustic calibrator (94 dB or 114 dB) to the microphone. Switch on the calibrator and select Calibrate in AnalyzerPlus. The result and any offset from the last factory calibration are logged automatically. When calibration is complete, switch off the calibrator and replace the windshield.

 

Starting a Measurement

To start a manual measurement, connect the NoisePen to AnalyzerPlus, perform a calibration, then select Start. Remove the calibrator, replace the windshield and disconnect the NoisePen. The LED flashes blue to show that it is recording.

 

Wearing the NoisePen

Attach the NoisePen to the shoulder using the supplied leather strap, keeping the microphone within 10 cm of the ear. The device automatically records noise exposure throughout the shift, with no on-device controls.

 

Stopping and Downloading Data

At the end of the shift, reconnect the NoisePen to AnalyzerPlus and select Stop. Perform a post-measurement calibration, then download the data. Results can be sorted, reviewed, and reports generated directly in AnalyzerPlus, or data can be exported for further analysis.

 

Scheduled Measurements

You can set the NoisePen to start and stop measurements automatically at chosen times. Up to 12 schedules can be created up to 28 days in advance. To set a schedule, connect the NoisePen to AnalyzerPlus and open the Configure menu. Under the Controls tab, select Enable Schedules and then New Schedule. Set the required start times and days, then choose Save to Instrument. Once disconnected, the NoisePen will begin measuring at the scheduled time. Schedules can be enabled, disabled or cleared from the same window.

The NoisePen Noise Dosimeter is a compact personal sound exposure meter for measuring personal noise exposure over a working day or shift. It captures all key parameters, including LAeq, LEP,d, % Dose, and TWA, to give a clear picture of an individual’s noise exposure. With no screens, cables, or buttons, the NoisePen is simple to use and less likely to be interfered with during use. It’s comfortable to wear on the shoulder or upper arm, making it ideal for accurate occupational noise measurements across a wide range of workplaces.

 

Workplace Noise Monitoring

The NoisePen is ideal for measuring individual noise exposure in busy workplaces where people move between tasks or operate noisy machinery. It allows Health and Safety teams to monitor employees throughout their shift without supervision, making it especially useful where it is unsafe or impractical to take measurements with a handheld sound level meter. The device is worn on the shoulder or upper arm and runs automatically once configured in our licence-free AnalyzerPlus software. After monitoring, results can be downloaded to create clear reports for workplace noise assessments.

 

Hospitality Noise & Entertainment Noise

The NoisePen Noise Dosimeter is ideal for monitoring noise exposure in venues where music and crowd noise change throughout the day. It provides reliable measurements without supervision, making it ideal for bars, nightclubs, theatres, and live events. Since it runs automatically once set up in our licence-free AnalyzerPlus software, staff can wear it comfortably during their shift without disruption. Once monitoring is complete, results can be reviewed to help protect employees and comply with workplace noise regulations.
