The SoundEar II XL is an alternative to standard noise and hearing-protection warning signs.
With SoundEar, you know exactly when to put on your earmuffs, ensuring compliance with noise regulations. Ideal for Industrial (safe area) applications such as manufacturing, warehouses and construction.
Noise levels depend on location and production processes, and the decision to use earmuffs or other protection can become complicated and clouded by a person’s hearing capability. Deploying the SoundEar II XL Industry removes the scope for error, providing a clear, easy-to-understand warning in areas where ear protection is required.
The unit displays green when monitoring, yellow when noise is becoming loud and red when the noise is too loud. Even in small doses, noise can affect concentration, the ability to acquire knowledge, and stress levels.
Pre-set 16 different noise limits ranging from 45 to 115 dB, using the red wheel at the bottom of the device to select the desired noise limit. Once the set level has been exceeded, a visual warning sign consisting of a flashing red light will display. We recommend setting the device to turn red at 85 dB, in line with noise regulations; this will trigger the yellow warning light at 80 dB.
Placement can be anywhere within a plant; however, the microphone, located at the bottom of the device, must not be obstructed. Wall-mount at 150-200 cm above the floor, away from noisy machines or soft fabrics that may interfere with noise readings. Housed in Shockproof acrylic with an IP 42 (dust-proof) rating, it can be used indoors and outdoors.
A data log that saves measurements for up to four weeks is available for the SoundEar II system. The included computer program and data log show the last four weeks of measurements in a printable graph.
