The PCE-430 is a Class 1 real-time octave band analyzer designed for professional noise measurements. The Class 1 noise meter fulfills all criteria for noise measurement and frequency analysis. This precision integrating impulse noise meter adheres to relevant standards and guidelines (Class 1 EN/IEC 61672, ANSI S1.4-1983, ANSI S1.43-1997 EN/IEC61260, etc.).
The micro SD card from this device is compatible with direct reading on a PC. Alternatively, the noise meter can connect to a PC via USB for memory access. The accompanying post-processing software facilitates easy analysis of measurement data. This device is commonly used for workplace noise measurement, regulatory compliance, environmental noise assessment, selection of hearing protection, choosing appropriate noise control measures, and evaluating noise exposure levels.
