Battery-free industrial headset

Matt Green, technical sales specialist – hearing protection for Arco, said: “Arco is proud to be the UK’s exclusive safety distributor of the new Sensear SM1R headset. By cleverly removing the battery and powering the headset from connection to specific two-way radios, the headset is lighter and more comfortable to wear. Additionally, the battery-free advancement eliminates the need for extra charging.”

Green added: “The Sensear SM1R is a high-noise communication solution that enables users to protect their hearing, while still being able to communicate effectively. Whether that is via face-to-face interaction or through two-way radios, users can still maintain 360° audible awareness of their surroundings.”

The noise exposure limiting headset connects the majority of leading industry two-way radios through a wired connection; it is VOX capable and is suitable for use in the manufacturing, energy, and construction sectors. There is also a version which is being certified in accordance with the ATEX Directive suitable for the Oil and Gas Sector.
