IP65 rated noise-activated warning sign

21 August 2019

One of Pulsar Instruments' most popular interactive noise warning signs, the Pulsar SafeEar, has been updated to be both weatherproof and dustproof.

This new SafeEar IP65 Weatherproof Noise-Activated Warning Sign works just like the company's original signs that light up when a pre-set noise level is reached to warn workers and visitors when they need to put on their hearing protection or when noise levels need to be kept down. 

Wearing hearing protection all the time is never popular with workers, so with these signs, it means mandatory hearing protection zones can become 'Mandatory Hearing Protection When Signs Are Lit' zones, with the result that workers only need put on their hearing protection when it's noisy.

Key features

  • Lights up to warn of high noise levels
  • Control the decibel trigger level yourself
  • IP65 rated (protected against ingress from dust and low-pressure water jets)
  • Quick and simple to install
  • Available with four standard warning messages
  • Available in different languages.

Who it’s for

Pulsar has designed this new SafeEar warning sign to be IP65 rated for low-pressure water spray and dust and believes it will be of interest to a great many companies and businesses, especially those with workers who are:

  • based outside in maintenance areas or construction sites;
  • working inside on industrial processes; or
  • working where moisture may be present or regular cleaning takes place. 

What it does

The signs use high-intensity white LED technology to ensure they are visible to workers and visitors and light up when a pre-set trigger level is reached. Users can set this trigger level themselves anywhere between 40dB(A) and 114dB(A) – equating from a quiet environment to heavy industrial noise. 

Most people set the trigger level at 80dB(A) as this is the level where hearing protection should be offered by employers. Pulsar suggests that employers set a delay of 30 seconds after the noise has dropped for the sign to return to normal – this is when workers know they are safe to remove their hearing PPE. 

Not just for outside

These signs are not just for outside use. As the signs are IP65 rated they can be used in any area where moisture might be present or in areas that undergo high levels of cleaning such as in industrial processing, food and beverage manufacturing, industrial kitchens and laboratories
