The 3M Heat Stress Meter, RSS-214 has been discontinued, please contact AFC International for other options.
Heat stress can mean serious down time and possibly a life threatening situation. But with the 3M WIBGET RSS-214 monitor, certain key environmental factors can be measured quickly and easily and help you detect certain environmental factors that can contribute to heat stress. The 3M WIBGET RSS-214 is the perfect monitor to help you establish a heat stress management program.
Features
Reliable - 1 year warranty, fast response time, 17 hours continuous operation and 511 records of data storage with optional data logger.
Fast Response - Direct reading of Wet Bulb, Dry Bulb, Vernon Globe equivalent, WBGT(in), WBGT(out) temperatures at 95% responded level in less than 4.5 minutes
Accurate -Displays to 1/10th degree.
Easy Operation - At the push of a button, the RSS-214 calculates time weighted mean BGT, helping you establish appropriate work rest ratios.
Accessories - Add in Data Logger
Allows up to 511 records of data to be stored and output later through the serial port. The data logger must be purchased installed.
Data can be logged manually or at preselected intervals of 0.5, 1, 2, 5, 6, 10, 20 or 30 minutes.
Current sensor data may be viewed while logging. The data transmission is controlled by the computer and printer and does not interfere with logging.
Most recent data is transmitted first to your PC.
Data is secure, even if the battery fails or is removed.
Data output record provides record number, data and time, WB, DB, GT, In WBGT and Out WBGT.
Software provides ease of data storage and retrieval and calculates time weighted mean WBGT and time weighted metabolic rates.

25°C, 45°C, 60°C |
| WBGT Value Calculations
WB=Wet Bulb
GT=Vernon Globe Equivalent Temp
DB=Dry Bulb
|
WBGT (outdoor) = 0.7 Wet Bulb + 0.2 GT + 0.1 Dry Bulb |
| WBGT (indoor) = 0.7 Wet Bulb + 0.3 GT |
