NoisePen Dosemeter – Personal Sound Exposure Meter
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.
Save time and money too with this innovative device; just choose how many you want, the more you buy the more you save! Contact us directly for quotes of 6 or more NoisePens to get a discount.
NOTE: an acoustic calibrator is required for the field calibration and activation of the NoisePen. This is not included as standard.

Datasheet
Individual Shoulder-Mounted Noise Dosemeter (Model 22)
The Model 22 noise dosemeter comes with leather mount and clips onto a worker’s clothing. Each badge includes data logging for Time History measurements enabling you to measure and store a person’s noise exposure throughout the working day or shift.
Each badge consists of an acoustic processor, rechargeable battery and microphone housed inside a robust metal case.
Meets international standards:
- ANSI S1.25:1991 Personal Noise Dosemeters
- IEC 61252:1993 Personal Sound Exposure Meters
NoisePen Acoustic Calibrator (94dB)
The Class 2 Acoustic Calibrator for the NoisePen. The Model 106 has been tested and formally EU Pattern Approved under certificate PTB-1.61.4034842, as meeting all of the requirements of the latest International standard, IEC 60942: 2003. Fully meeting the requirements for the calibration of industrial sound level meters used in almost all Health and Safety applications.
The Model 106 isintended to calibrate and set the noise measurement sensitivity of the NoisePen (although the Model 106 can be used with any properly approved sound level meter that uses a standard measurement microphone).
This model gives a standardised tone and has sensors to correct for temperature, humidity, barometric pressure and battery voltage so that it remains stable and accurate under almost any conditions where it is likely to be used.
We have taken great care during the design process to ensure that the unit is comfortable to hold, robust and easy to use, whilst performing accurately throughout a wide range of temperature, humidity and pressure conditions.
NoisePen Kit Carrying Case
A bespoke lightweight NoisePen kit carrying case designed specifically to hold your valuable noise measuring equipment and protect it from accidental harm.
Choose from one of two options depending on how many NoisePens you have.
- K6 Small Plastic Carry Case for up to 2 x NoisePen dosemeters
- K7 Small Plastic Carry Case for up to 5 x NoisePen dosemeters
Each case has space for an acoustic calibrator, NoisePen mounts and the NoisePens themselves.
Remote Start Keyfob for NoiseBadge dosemeter
The Remote Start Keyfob for NoiseBadge dosemeter can be used instead of the Reader Unit to Start and Stop Pulsar NoiseBadge Dosemeters. The Start and Stop buttons on the Keyfob are used to send commands to the noise dosemeter.
When the Start or Stop buttons are pressed, the Status indicator will light to show that the button has been pressed. The Infrared signal is sent from the transmitter on the front of the Keyfob.
A Reader Unit is still required to calibrate and reset the individual dosemeters but the Keyfob can be more convenient to use, especially when there is a need to socially distance or where a persons shift differs to that of the health and safety officer, or the worker operates from a remote location.
Dosemeter Reader Unit with Integral Acoustic Calibrator
The Reader and Calibrator Unit for the Pulsar Noise Dosemeter system controls the individual dosemeter badges. The Reader Unit communicates with the dosemeter via an infra-red link.
The Reader Unit is required to calibrate the dosemeters prior to measurement as per the requirements of the Noise at Work Regulations and HSE requirements. Once you have fitted the dosemeter onto a workers shoulder (or helmet using the helmet mount) you are ready to start the dosemeter via the infra-red link. Once the noise exposure measurements have been taken the dosemeter is stopped in the same way using the Reader Unit.
