    Take readings of ambient sound levels. These portable meters give you spot readings, so you can monitor workplace machinery and vehicles, comply with safety regulations, and adhere to noise ordinances.
    Meters have a selectable frequency weighting—an electronic filter that adjusts the way the meter measures sound. The A weighting is similar to the response of the human ear and is used by OSHA. The C weighting is suitable for measuring the sound level of machinery.

    Personal Sound Level Exposure Monitors

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Sound Level Monitors. Personal Sound Level Exposure Monitors.
    Clip these monitors on to measure your noise exposure. Also known as personal noise dosimeters, they continuously measure ambient sound levels, intensity, and duration. You’ll often see them used in factories, airports, and construction sites to help comply with OSHA regulations for noise exposure. These monitors give noise dose as a percentage of the maximum safe daily limit and alert you when levels are outside your set threshold. You can choose from preprogrammed sound level tests or program your own. Set the monitor to record automatically or program it to record samples at timed intervals.
    An electronic filter adjusts the way these testers measure sound, so you can choose the frequency weighting you need. The A weighting mimics the human ear’s response to sound. It is used by OSHA to measure the risk of potential hearing damage. The C weighting measures low-frequency sounds, so it’s often used to measure the sound level of machinery. The Z weighting gives you a flat frequency response and represents the actual noise without any adjustments.
    Transmit readings to your PC with the included cord. The included software lets you review stored sound measurements and analyze measurements in real time.
    Use a calibrator before and after each use to keep monitors accurate and maintain compliance with ANSI standards.

    With Wipe Test Plate

    Detects lower levels of radiation than our standard detector. Measurements are displayed on an easy-to-read LCD. The unit has a protective rubber casing. A flashing red light with audio beep indicates the presence of alpha, beta, gamma, and X-ray radiation.
    Use this detector alone to measure radiation in the air, or use it with the wipe test plate and sample collection wipes (sold separately) to measure radiation on surfaces. For surface testing, use a wipe on a wet or dry surface, place the wipe in the wipe test plate, and slide the plate onto the detector.

    Earplug Fit Testing Systems

    In a matter of minutes, confirm your earplugs deliver the right level of hearing protection. These kits help you meet OSHA standards for protection from excessive noise. Conduct the test onsite—everything you need, including a tablet with software already installed, is included. To use this kit, you will undergo a hearing test with and without your earplugs to determine the lowest volume you can hear. The system then calculates the difference between the scores and produces a personal attenuation rating (PAR).
    Once the test is complete, you’ll receive a full report to help you choose the best earplugs. The results automatically upload to cloud storage and can be accessed on multiple devices.

    Sound Level Monitors

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Sound Level Monitors. Sound Level Monitors.
    Continuously measure ambient sound levels. The display alerts you when levels either exceed or fall below your programmed thresholds. When operating the monitor with the included 120V AC adapter, four warning lights will also flash when a threshold is reached. Monitors have a microphone that rotates 180°. They can be surface mounted or propped up using the attached folding stand. These monitors cannot be sold to Canada due to import regulations.
    You can select the frequency weighting—an electronic filter that adjusts the way the monitor measures sound. The A weighting is similar to the response of the human ear and is used by OSHA. The C weighting is suitable for measuring the sound level of machinery.
    Use a calibrator to calibrate the monitor on a regular basis and verify that it is working properly.

    Mount these monitors to your wall to view the sound level of your plant from 100 feet away. This helps you continuously keep an eye on the amount of noise in your work environment to make sure it’s safe. When the sound level exceeds your programmed threshold, the numbers on these monitors will turn from green to red. The A weighting is similar to the response of the human ear and is used by OSHA.
    Attach them with the mounting holes on the back. The included cord lets you transmit data to your computer.
