Producte acabatview
The 3M E-A-Rfit Dual-Ear Validation System is designed to quantitatively measure the effectiveness of hearing protection devices for individual workers. This system helps determine whether workers are receiving adequate protection from their hearing protector by measuring across 7 standard frequencies in under five seconds, providing a detailed report on the noise attenuation performance of earplugs or earmuffs and a pass or fail rating for each individual person based on their personal attenuation rating.

Característiques principals:
- Dual-Element, Dual-Microphone Assembly: Measures sound levels both inside and outside the hearing protector simultaneously.
- Science-Based, Quantitative Testing: Provides accurate reports of hearing protection effectiveness.
- Resultats ràpids i precisos: Obtain clear results in seconds, which can be printed or saved electronically.
- Personal Attenuation Rating (PAR): Determines the individual worker's PAR, reducing measurement and fitting uncertainties.
- Dual-Ear Design: Measures both ears concurrently, saving time.
- Interval de freqüència: Tests across 7 standard frequencies (125, 250, 500, 1000, 2000, 4000, 8000 Hz).

Funcionament del sistema
The 3M E-A-Rfit Dual-Ear Validation System is designed for straightforward operation to assess hearing protector effectiveness.
- Programari de llançament: Open the 3M E-A-Rfit software application on your computer.
- Preparació del subjecte de la prova: Instruct the individual to properly wear their hearing protection device (earplugs or earmuffs) as they would during typical use.
- Position Subject: Position the test subject in front of the dual-microphone assembly according to the software's instructions. The system is designed to measure both ears simultaneously.
- Iniciar la prova: Follow the software prompts to begin the test. The system will emit a series of tones across the 7 standard frequencies (125, 250, 500, 1000, 2000, 4000, 8000 Hz) and measure sound levels.
- Review Resultats: The software will display the Personal Attenuation Rating (PAR) for each ear, along with a pass or fail indication. Results are typically generated in under five seconds.
- Save/Print Report: Save the test results electronically or print a detailed report for record-keeping and compliance purposes.
