Noise & vibration monitors and a new APP

Using the built-in Bluetooth functionality of the Android smartphone or tablet, Svantek’s SvanMobile allows remote operation of the company’s SVAN 977B and SVAN 979 sound level meters when making general acoustic measurements or monitoring environmental and occupational noise and vibration. Users can set up and then control the meter using the app.

SvanMobile enables the user to link measurement files from the sound level meter to media from smartphones such as images, videos and audio notes, as well as location and meteorological data. It is also possible to use SvanMobile to connect to the sound level meter over the internet if it has a GPRS modem or WiFi.

Svantek’s SV103 is a small, rugged instrument which simply attaches to the user’s arm whilst the lightweight MEMS accelerometer straps to the hand.  This device features an easy to read colour OLED screen and all data can be quickly downloaded to a computer for analysis. The SV103 also has an additional contact force transducer that measures how firmly the tool is being gripped.

Svantek’s compact and robust SV104 personal noise dosimeter offers a wide range of features including octave band analysis for helping to select hearing protection, audio recording and full colour OLED screen. It also offers a virtually indestructible MEMS microphone and in-built tri-axial accelerometer for vibration shock detection.

One of the smallest class 1 sound level meters on the market, Svantek’s SVAN971 instrument has a full colour OLED screen and is said to be more cost effective than many class 2 meters. Benefits include 1/1 and 1/3 octave band analysis, audio event recording and the ability to store data on an easily downloadable micro SD card. A full outdoor kit and microphone extension cable is also available with this model.

Svantek’s SV106 is said to have set a new benchmark in affordable hand-arm (HAV) and whole-body (WBV) vibration. This highly versatile human vibration meter and analyser offers value for money and works with most accelerometers. It has eight channels which enables users to attach two tri-axial accelerometers at the same time. Stand F45
