    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Earplug Fit Testing Systems

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Earplug Fit Testers. 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.

    Acoustic Imaging Gas Leak Detectors

    Image of Product. Front orientation. ZoomedIn view. Contains Inset, Border. Gas Leak Detectors. 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.

    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 wet workspaces.

    Grease Dispenser Monitors

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Contains MultipleImages. Grease Dispenser 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.

    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.
