You don't have to be an expert to use the 897 Dosimeter Sound Measuring System
It is perfect for conducting personal noise surveys to meet IEC and OSHA
requirements. Used as a sound level meter, the 897 provides a quick survey of targeted areas
and identifies suspect locations. The 897 is also ideal for industrial/environmental sound level
measurements and checking noise areas for excessive dB exposure.
Use the 897 for taking measurements, or viewing and printing reports using your PC computer/
printer. Reports are automatically printed on your compatible PC printer for use later during
OSHA or other official inspections. Recorded data can also be viewed on your personal
computer monitor by using an accessory cable and other manufacturer's software.
The 897 computes dosage and records up to 31 hours, at one minute intervals, of Lavg and
Lmax readings and the number of detected 140 dB peak occurrences per minute
Conforms to ANSI S1.4-1983, ANSI S1.25-1978, and IEC 651-1979
