The SoundSign is a highly visible noise activated warning sign that has been designed for use in environments where there is a need to clearly warn or indicate when a preset noise level is reached.
Benefits
- Lights up when a preset noise is exceeded
- Quick and simple to install
- Trigger level from 40 dB(A) to 114 dB(A) for use in any environment
- High intensity white LED technology for high visual impact and a long operating life
- Use text and graphics to communicate specific no8ise level warnings
- 4 standard designs to cover all applications
Ideal for Noisy Environments - Use the SoundSign in noisy environments such as factories, workshops, pubs and nightclubs to warn when noise levels become too high and indicate when hearing protection must be worn. A noise survey may have indicated that the levels will exceed 90 dB(A) when certain processes occur but this may happen at random intervals throughout the day. The wearing of hearing protection may not be required at all times and so the use of the SoundSign will inform employees when it is required and when it can be safely removed.
Ideal for Quiet Environments - Use SoundSign in quiet locations such as schools, hospitals and libraries to indicate when noise levels must be kept down. Set the SoundSign to trigger at a much lower level, 50 dB(A) to ensure that the noise levels in a hospital ward stay within acceptable levels. There is no need to use hearing protection but the use of a clear warning sign can be very effective in controlling and managing noise levels.
Installation & Use - Installation of a SoundSign is very simple. Select the required trigger level and connect the 12V power supply to the unit. When the noise level measured by the microphone reaches this level, the sign will illuminate and show the warning. The unit can also be set to keep the warning illuminated for up to 30 seconds after the level has fallen back below the trigger level. This removes the sudden on-off indication that traditional noise warning signs often produce and which can cause confusion as to when hearing protection should be worn.
The sound level chosen for the trigger point can be set using either the simple level selection on the back of the unit or by using a calibrated Sound Level Meter to provide a reference measurement. The brightness of the display can be adjusted making the SoundSign ideal for use in hospitals.
Remote Display Units - The SoundSign is also available as a Remote Display Unit which is controlled by a Master SoundSign. These units are connected by a simple cable to the Master and up to 3 can be daisy chained together so that a wide area can be covered. The Remote Display Unit will duplicate the master Unit warning using the same configuration trigger level, time weightings and illumination options.
Record & Store with the USB Data Logger - The SoundSign can be upgraded quickly and easily by adding the CR:203 USB Data Logger. This unit simply plugs into the SoundSign and can record noise levels for long periods of time. The data logger can be programmed to start recording at a specific time and date and run for an 8 hour shift. The data logger can be plugged directly into a PC and the software supplied will display a graph of the recorded noise levels, allow the information to be printed, exported and annotated for reference.
