PulsarSafeEar
Safe and Sound

Suitableforbothnoisyandquiet
environments:
The PulsarSafeEar is perfect for use in factories, workshops,
pubs and nightclubs to warn when noise levels become too
high and indicate when hearing protection must be worn.
In environments where the wearing of hearing protection
(PPE) may not be required at all times, the PulsarSafeEar will
inform employees when PPE is required and also when it can
be removed safely.
PulsarSafeEar can also be used in quiet locations such as
schools, hospitals and libraries to indicate when noise levels
must be kept down. By setting the PulsarSafeEar to trigger at
a lower level ensures that noise levels in quiet environments
stay within acceptable levels.
Installation&Use
Installation of the PulsarSafeEar is very simple. Select the
trigger level and connect the power supply to the unit. When
the noise level measured by the microphone reaches this
level, the sign will illuminate and show the warning.
The unit can also be set to keep the warning illuminated
for up to 30 seconds after the level has fallen back below
the trigger level. This removes the sudden on-off indication
that traditional noise warning signs often produce. The
PulsarSafeEar eliminates confusion as to when hearing
protection (PPE) should be worn.
The sound level chosen for the trigger point can be set using
the simple level selection at the back of the unit.
RemoteDisplayUnits
The PulsarSafeEar is also available as a Remote Display Unit
which is controlled by a Master PulsarSafeEar Unit. A simple
cable from the Master to up to 3 remote units can be daisy-
chained together so that an area of up to 30 metres can be
covered.
Record&StorewithPulsarSafeEarData
LoggingSoftware
The PulsarSafeEar can be upgraded to become a data logging
unit by adding the PulsarSafeEar Data Logger and USB
Software. The Data Logger simply plugs into the PulsarSafeEar
and can record noise levels over long periods of time. The
Data Logger can be programmed to start recording at a
specic time and date and run, for example, over an 8 hour
shift.
When the Data Logger is plugged into a PC the software will
display a graph of the recorded noise levels and allow the
data to be printed, exported and annotated for reference.

When setting the trigger level,remember that this is the level at the microphone.
Adjust the level to take account of any distance between the microphone
and noise source.

Add ‘800’ to the dB level to disable the 30 second turn-off delay.
Examples:
Trigger Level = 0 8 5 = 85dB(A) 30 second turn-off delay
Trigger Level = 8 8 5 = 85dB(A) no turn-off delay
Trigger Level = 0 4 5 = 45dB(A) 30 second delay
Trigger Level = 8 4 5 = 45dB(A) no turn-off delay
Trigger Level = 1 0 0 = 100dB(A) 30 second turn-off delay
Trigger Level = 9 0 0 = 100dB(A) no turn-off delay
