Sound detector

Part of 3M's Total Hearing Solution for noise in the workplace, the 3M Sound Detector SD-200 is a compact and lightweight entry-level sound meter that joins the company's Quest detection range.

Designed to give accurate measurement of workplace noise levels through an integrating feature that computes the average sound pressure level, it is suitable for industrial and task noise sampling.

Sue Poole of 3M's Occupational Health & Environmental Safety Division, says: "Noise levels can vary significantly in the workplace, especially in manufacturing facilities or machine shops. The 3M Sound Detector SD- 200 is an easy-to-use sound measuring device that combats this problem by providing an average sound level reading.

"From taking a measurement, it is easy to select the appropriate hearing protection as the screen of the 3M Sound Detector SD-200 will display green, yellow or red LEDs that correspond to the 3M Optime Alert System, which categorises products into attenuation guidelines."
