INDUSTRIAL AUDIO NOISE MONITORING SYSTEM

摘要

A wireless field device (100) for use in monitoring acoustic noise includes an acoustic sensor (102) configured to sense acoustic noise. Processing circuitry (114) coupled to the acoustic sensor (102) is configured to identify a hazardous noise condition based upon the sensed acoustic noise and a personnel noise exposure standard. Output circuitry (106) provides a warning output in response to an identified noise condition. A system (700) is also provided which uses one or more acoustic sensors implemented in wireless field mounted monitors.
