As a stand-alone device or wall mounted in patient rooms, intensive care areas, nurseries and hallways Extech's SL120 can be strategically placed to monitor noise levels for entire areas.
The SL120's microphone is also detachable and can be remotely located using the optional microphone cable.
The SL120's large LCD allows it to be easily read from distances greater than 9m and its unique alarm system indicates when quiet is needed through the use of relay modules which will illuminate large warning signs and remote noise indicators.
With a programmable high limit set point between 30 and 130dB, the SL120 is extremely flexible and settings can be quickly changed to meet varying needs.
Certificates of traceability to NIST are available.
Highly effective in maintaining proper noise levels, the SL120 can also assist in eliminating noise factors by recording the time and date of maximum decibel level occurrences.
The SL120 also features rear panel controls to prevent unauthorised programming, a clock display, and programmable start-stop time for extended battery life.
