Advantages
|

XL2 Audio and Acoustic Analyzer
with M2210 Measurement Microphone
|
- Handheld and compact design for field applications
- Calibrated acoustic measurement system
- Improved efficiency with dedicated measurements profiles and appending test results to previous data records
- Automated sound level documentation and high resolution wav-file recording in 24 Bit / 48 kHz format to SD Card

|
- Sound pressure level SPL
for industrial sound pollution monitoring
- LAeq (averaged sound level with A-weighting)
- LCpeak (peak sound level with C-weighting)
- Stack Light
Alarms at exceeding sound levels, thus employees near the test station are notified immediately.
- Noise exposure level LEX,8h
The Noise at Work Directive 2003/10/EC reduces the risk of hearing damage for employees. The action limits are

recommend wearing hearing protectors
|
|
Upper limit value

Determination of Noise Exposure Level LEX,8h
|
Screenshot Sound Level Meter
|
- At steady noise (applies for LAS deviation is < 5 dB)
Measure the LAeq over a few minutes, the resulting LAeq represents the noise exposure level of the complete 8 hours period LEX,8h = LAeq. The following formula applies for a daily exposure time ≠ 8 hours:
LEX,8h = LAeq + 10 x log ( T / 8 hours )
- At steady noise with stepwise level variations
(applies for steady noise at clearly distinguishable levels)
Measure the LAeq at the different levels and note the corresponding exposure time. Enter all data in the NTi Audio noise exposure level post processing form; the LEX,8h will be calculated and displayed.

- At varying noise levels
LEX,8h = LAeq measured for 8 hours.
