AWA5636 Class 2 Professional Noise Measurement Kit

The AWA5636 Class 2 Professional Noise Measurement Kit provides a complete, ready-to-use system for workplace, machinery, industrial and general environmental noise measurement.

Built around the AWA5636-2 Integrating Sound Level Meter, the kit adds an AWA6022A Class 2 Sound Calibrator and AWA8814 professional tripod, providing the essential equipment required to measure, verify and document sound levels accurately in the field.

The AWA5636-2 provides integrating measurements including Leq, Lmax, Lmin and SEL, making this kit a significant step up from a basic sound level meter while remaining an affordable professional solution.

Complete Class 2 Measurement Kit

Why Choose the Professional Kit?

Professional noise measurement usually requires more than simply taking a sound level reading.

This kit combines the sound level meter with two of the most useful accessories for professional field surveys.

Acoustic Calibrator

The included Class 2 calibrator allows the sound level meter to be checked immediately before and after a measurement.

This provides confirmation that the measurement system has remained stable throughout the survey.

Professional Tripod

The tripod provides stable and repeatable positioning without requiring the operator to continuously hold the instrument.

This helps:

• Maintain a consistent measurement position
• Reduce movement during measurements
• Reduce acoustic influence from the operator
• Improve repeatability between surveys
• Support longer-duration measurements

Together with the integrating AWA5636-2, these accessories create a practical professional noise measurement system at an accessible price point.

AWA5636-2 Integrating Sound Level Meter

The AWA5636-2 is a professional Class 2 integrating sound level meter designed for workplace, machinery, industrial and environmental noise measurement.

Unlike a basic sound level meter that displays only the current sound pressure level, the AWA5636-2 provides integrating measurements over a selected measurement period.

This allows average sound levels such as Leq to be measured and documented.

Main Measurements

• Lp – Sound pressure level
• Leq – Equivalent continuous sound level
• Leq,T – Equivalent continuous sound level over the measurement period
• Lmax – Maximum sound level
• Lmin – Minimum sound level
• SEL – Sound Exposure Level
• E – Sound exposure
• Measurement duration

Why Leq Matters

Noise levels often vary throughout a measurement period.

An instantaneous sound level may therefore not provide an accurate representation of the overall noise environment.

Leq represents the equivalent continuous sound level over the measurement period and is widely used for:

• Workplace noise surveys
• Machinery noise assessment
• Environmental measurements
• Industrial noise investigations
• Construction noise
• General noise comparison

This makes the AWA5636-2 considerably more useful for professional surveys than a simple instantaneous sound level meter.

Key Specifications

AWA6022A Class 2 Sound Calibrator

The included AWA6022A Class 2 Sound Calibrator provides professional field verification of the sound level meter.

It complies with IEC 60942:2017 Class 2 and provides two selectable calibration levels:

• 94 dB @ 1 kHz
• 114 dB @ 1 kHz

Sound pressure level accuracy is ±0.4 dB.

The calibrator also incorporates automatic atmospheric pressure compensation to help maintain a stable acoustic output under changing field conditions.

A field calibration check can be performed before and after a survey to confirm that the complete measurement chain has remained stable.

AWA8814 Professional Tripod

The included AWA8814 professional tripod provides stable positioning for professional sound measurements.

Using a tripod helps:

• Maintain consistent measurement height and position
• Reduce movement during measurements
• Reduce handling of the instrument
• Keep the operator further from the measurement position
• Improve repeatability between surveys
• Support longer environmental and workplace measurements

Power & Field Operation

The AWA5636 is designed for portable field use.

Standard battery operation provides approximately 10 hours or more of continuous use.

An optional rechargeable lithium battery is also available for applications requiring longer operating time.

External power can be used for longer-duration or fixed measurement applications.

Calibration

The AWA5636-2 can be field calibrated using the included AWA6022A Class 2 acoustic calibrator.

A typical professional measurement procedure is:

1. Perform a calibration check before the survey
2. Carry out the noise measurements
3. Perform another calibration check after the survey
4. Record the calibration results with the measurement data

This provides additional confidence that the measurement system remained stable during the survey.

Typical Applications

• Workplace noise surveys
• Machinery and equipment noise
• Factory noise measurements
• Industrial hygiene
• Environmental noise surveys
• Construction noise
• Traffic noise
• Health and safety inspections
• Industrial noise investigations
• Noise complaint investigations
• Maintenance engineering
• General professional sound level measurement

Who Is This Kit For?

The AWA5636 Professional Kit is particularly suited to:

• Health and safety professionals
• Occupational hygiene teams
• Manufacturing companies
• Maintenance engineers
• Environmental officers
• Engineering companies
• Construction companies
• Consultants
• Educational institutions
• Professional testing organisations

Optional Accessories & Add-ons

Class 2 or Class 1?

For many workplace, machinery and general industrial noise measurements, Class 2 provides an excellent balance between professional measurement capability and cost.

Choose the AWA5636 Professional Kit where Class 2 accuracy is suitable and you require reliable integrating Leq measurement.

Choose the AWA5662 Professional Kit where Class 1 accuracy and statistical environmental noise measurement are required.

Choose the AWA6228+ Advanced Kit when you also need to investigate which frequency bands are contributing to the measured noise.
