Sound check meter
February 1st 2007 E.A.R and Peltor have developed a simple sound level meter that complements their Optime Alert system by establishing which colour code the user needs to follow. Simply deploy the meter at the employee's workstation and let it sit until the display has stabilised. This will indicate the average noise level in that area and the type of protection required. The display indicates the period of time the unit has been active in 1h increments to a maximum of an 8h working day. The meter is accurate to ±1dB. The Optime Alert system uses a logically-coloured classification to simplify the selection process. The user finds out what the noise level is, then looks at the icons to establish which band (RNR) the noise level falls into. He/she can then choose from the wide range of products available from E.A.R and Peltor, ensuring that the relevant symbol is displayed. There is a choice of earplugs, banded earplugs and earmuffs for each of the noise bands. Aearo products can be seen at Health & Safety 07, Stand 16. More articles from 3M UK Plc: |
