About Hearing Protection
Earmuffs and earplugs are rated by the Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) guidelines, which are enforced by OSHA.

Sound Level Testers
Take readings of ambient sound levels. Testers have a selectable frequency weighting—an electronic filter that adjusts the way the tester 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 the calibrator (sold separately) to calibrate the tester before each use and verify that it is working properly.
Testers that cannot be sold to Canada are restricted by import regulations.

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 the calibrator (sold separately) to calibrate the monitor on a regular basis and verify that it is working properly. Remote microphone cable (sold separately) allows you to use the monitor’s microphone up to 15 ft. from the display.

Vibration Meters
In addition to vibration, these meters measure acceleration, frequency, speed, displacement, and temperature. Use them to gauge the health of your bearings and machines. Onscreen analytics allow you to instantly check the condition of your equipment. These meters store up to 3,500 readings in memory, and you can transfer them to your computer with a USB cord (not included) to track trends.
Import regulations restrict sales to the listed areas.
Add a probe to take measurements in hard-to-access areas. It has a magnetic base you can mount to a machine to get constant readings.

Digital Pocket Vibration Meters
Keep these meters on hand to quickly check the health of your machine and bearings. They digitally measure acceleration, frequency, and speed to help you identify potential problems, such as bearings that are off balance or misaligned. These meters have two different bases for taking readings. The magnetic base is useful for hands-free readings on magnetic surfaces. For nonmagnetic surfaces, use the pin tip and gently hold the meter against the vibrating surface. Rated IP65, these meters will continue to measure in dusty and damp workspaces.

Vibration Meters with Stethoscopes
In addition to measuring vibration, you can listen to and record machine performance. The magnetic base allows you to mount the probe on a machine for constant readings.

Acoustic Imaging Gas Leak Detectors
Locate leaks up to 10 times faster than traditional leak-detecting methods. These detectors use 124 microphones to determine the precise location and size of leaks in compressed air and specific gas systems. The screen displays a high-resolution acoustic image that’s overlaid on a digital live shot of your facility to help you visualize the leak. It also displays analytics related to the leak, such as the rate and the potential cost savings of patching your system. You can capture the on-screen view through photos and video to review later. With a built-in flashlight, they remain accurate even in low-light spaces. Light enough to carry with one hand, you can bring these detectors on the go. A 650 ft. range means you can use them from one end of your facility to another, or to detect in hard-to-reach systems.
Connect the detector to your computer using Wi-Fi or the included USB cable to quickly transfer collected data.

Ultrasonic Gas Leak Detectors
This detector converts ultrasonic waves to an audible sound so you can find leaks. Unlike typical leak detectors, this unit doesn’t rely only on the presence of a gas to work, making it suitable for a wider range of applications. In addition to gas leaks, it identifies ultrasonic sound caused by failing solenoids, valves, and bearings.
For systems under 10 psi, use the optional ultrasonic sound generator.

Hearing Protection 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.

Grease-Dispensing Monitors
Extend the life of bearings by using these monitors to take the guesswork out of lubrication. Their sensor captures the ultrasonic vibration of grease as it fills your bearing and converts it into sound you can hear. As your bearing draws in the grease, the sound becomes quieter. Even in loud machine shops, you'll be able to track this sound with the noise-cancelling headphones and noise level readings shown on the monitor's screen. When the noise level stops decreasing, the bearing can't absorb any more grease and you should stop pumping grease to avoid over-lubricating your bearing.
The handset guides you through the steps for setting the noise level before applying grease. Use either the curved or flat magnetic mount to attach the sensor to the bearing. The monitor mounts to your grease gun, so you’ll have your hands free for pumping grease.
