testo 816-1 – Sound level measurement
with integrated data storage
dB
The testo 816-1 is ideal for sound level measurements
at workplaces, in industrial and production halls, and in
public places. With the touch of a button, the measuring
instrument can be switched from Slow (1 sec.) to Fast (125
ms). It is also possible to switch between the frequency
weighting characteristic curves A and C and vice versa,
also at the touch of a button. Characteristic curve A
corresponds to the sound pressure sensitivity of the human
ear, while characteristic curve C can evaluate low-frequency
components of a noise.
The integrated data store allows the storage of over 30000
measurement values in the instrument, these can be
administered using the software included in delivery. In
addition to this, the software allows online measurements
over a longer period to be carried out.
With the optional sound calibrator and the adjustment
accessory included with it, the testo 816-1 can be re-
calibrated on site.
