LWA, which gives the sound level in dB at
less than 1m distance from the noise source.
The Zirocco-M100 has an A-weighed max sound power level of 108 dBA around the machine and 103 dBA
at the operators’ position , at its max performance. The LWA is here not directly related to an
environmental noise level as weighted average of the different work steps during machine operation. It is
the maximum sound pressure which the operator will experience when using the machine at 100%
performance level
This choice of LWA was made to ensure proper health protection even when the machine is used above its
intended use.
When persons are exposed to excessively loud
environments (85 dB or more), hearing protection
is required to prevent noise-induced hearing losses.
The table to the left is showing the acceptable
noise levels without hearing protection during a
maximum daily exposure.
It is required that the operator of the Zirocco-M100 is using relevant hearing protection to prevent work
induced hearing losses.
In the United States hearing protection is by law assigned a single number rating, NRR, which is an
abbreviation for a Noise Reduction Rating. Hearing protection is available with NRR ratings from 0 to 30.
