SV 103 is a wearable vibration meter that enables accurate measurement of hand-arm exposure throughout a full working day, in compliance with ISO 8041-2:2021 and ISO 5349. The built-in force detection sensor automatically detects hand contact with the vibrating surface, allowing the instrument to calculate actual daily exposure (A(8)) with high precision. This significantly reduces uncertainty by eliminating guesswork about tool usage time. Mounted directly on the user’s hand and small enough to fit under gloves, SV 103 ensures full-shift monitoring without interfering with normal activities. The device stores high-resolution time-history data, and optional 1/3 octave analysis provides advanced diagnostics of frequency content for source identification and compliance with Directive 2002/44/EC.
A(8) vibration exposure both in m/s² and points
The robust triaxial accelerometer
Detection of the contact of the hand with a tool
Unique dosimeter with FORCE detection , which automatically obtains information about the period that the hand is in contact with the vibrating surface and evaluates the total contact time per day in order to calculate the A(8) exposure.
Hand-arm vibration meter in accordance to ISO 5349 and ISO 8041
Hand-arm vibration occurs when one or both of the upper limbs is in contact with a vibrating surface (e.g. power tools, steering wheels and levers to control vehicles). Changes in the human body resulting from contact with mechanical vibrations are recognized as an occupational disease called “vibration syndrome” (or “vibration disease”). The only effective way to avoid vibration disease is by prevention. The ISO 5349 contributes to the gathering of consistent data in order to improve occupational safety. In particular, ISO 5349 specifies the general requirements for the measurement and evaluation of human exposure to hand-transmitted vibration.
