SC160
Dosimeter module for the assessment of
noise in the workplace
The dosimeter module of the
SC160
for the assessment of noise in
the workplace adds a new measurement mode that is ideal for the
application of Directive 2003/10/CE, which adapts the regulation on
protection of the health and safety of workers from the risks of expo-
sure to noise, to technical progress. In the member states, the cor-
responding transposition to national law applies.
This dosimeter module allows you to simultaneously measure all
parameters needed to assess the levels of noise to which workers
are exposed when wearing hearing protectors, or not, (SNR, HML,
Octaves).
The
SC160
measures, simultaneously, the equivalent level with A
and C frequency weighting [ L
At
, L
Ct
], daily noise exposure level
[ L
EX,8h
] (ISO 1999), noise exposure in Pa
2
h [ E ] and noise dose
[ DOSE ] with reference to a programmable criterion level [ L
C
],
and, of course, also the Peak Level with C frequency weighting
[L
Cpeak
] (ISO 1999).
Moreover, the
SC160
allows you to carry out the measurement dur-
ing a time shorter than the exposure time, because it shows on the
screen all parameters projected to the expected exposure time
(programmable projection time [ t
p
] ).
To evaluate the exposure to noise, taking into account the attenua-
tion of the individual hearing protectors worn by the worker, the
SC160
, besides measuring the equivalent level with A and C fre-
quency weightings [ L
At
, L
Ct
] (SNR and HML method), simultane-
ously carries out a real time frequency analysis with A frequency
weighting and by octave bands from 63 Hz to 8 kHz (Octave
method).
The large memory of the
SC160
allows you to store the time history
of the parameters measured, and afterwards recalculate them for
any desired time interval.
The
SC160
helps you to asses and measure the exposure to noise
and also brings you all the data needed to inform and train workers
with regard to the significance and potential risks of the results of
the assessment and measurement.
Moreover, It helps you to design and run a reduction programme
and to choose the most suitable hearing protectors.
The dosimeter module for the assessment of noise in the workplace
is not included with the
SC160
. It is an optional module and it can
be acquired when buying the
SC160
or later.
