Easy-to-use

Part of its Total Hearing Solution
for noise in the workplace, 3M’s
Sound Detector SD-200 is a
compact and lightweight entrylevel
sound meter that has
been introduced within the
3M detection systems range.

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

Sue Poole of 3M’s Occupational
Health & Environmental Safety
Division explains: “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.”
