Best Whole Body Vibration Meter SV 100A

The SV100A Best Whole-Body Vibration Meter is a UK-optimized wireless device designed to measure whole-body vibration exposure in compliance with the Control of Vibration at Work Regulations 2005 and ISO 2631-1 standards. The device is user-friendly, featuring four push buttons and a small OLED display for in-field basic configuration.

Equipped with both RMS and RMQ detectors, the SV100A calculates the Daily Vibration Exposure A(8) based on both RMS and VDV, aligning with UK-specific daily exposure limit and action values. It has an 8 GB internal memory for extended data recording and a standard 2.0 USB interface for quick data transfer and battery recharging.

For specialized applications, the device offers frequency analysis in 1/1 or 1/3 octaves and time-domain signal recording. It is fully configurable via Supervisor software, allowing for quick setup of all ISO-required weighting filters, making it a comprehensive solution for whole-body vibration measurement in the UK.

How do you measure whole-body vibration?

In the UK, the measurement of whole-body vibration is governed by the Control of Vibration at Work Regulations 2005, which primarily uses the Daily Vibration Exposure A(8) as the key metric. This is calculated using a specific formula that incorporates the vibration magnitude and the duration of exposure. A specialized vibration meter, such as the SV100A, is typically placed on the seat and seat-back of the vehicle or machinery being operated. The device records vibration levels in three orthogonal directions (x, y, z) and calculates the A(8) value based on RMS and VDV measurements. These calculations align with the UK-specific daily exposure limit and action values, which are 1.15 m/s² A(8) and 0.5 m/s² A(8) respectively.

Equipment

Automatic presence detection

Built-in force sensors detect driver's presence

The Automatic Presence Detection feature in the SV100A Whole-Body Vibration Dosimeter utilizes built-in force sensors to automatically determine the real exposure time for calculating the A(8) vibration exposure. These force sensors work in tandem with the triaxial vibration data, providing a more accurate and automated assessment of vibration exposure. The sensitivity of these force sensors can be adjusted via the SV100A's firmware, allowing for customization based on specific measurement needs. This feature enhances the device's capability to provide precise and real-time data, which is crucial for compliance with UK regulations such as the Control of Vibration at Work Regulations 2005. By automatically detecting the presence of an operator, the SV100A eliminates the need for manual input of exposure time, thereby increasing the reliability and efficiency of the vibration exposure assessment.

A(8) and vibration total value awv

The SV100A Whole-Body Vibration Dosimeter is designed to be fully compliant with the UK's Control of Vibration at Work Regulations 2005. It measures the A(8) vibration exposure and the overall vibration total value, also known as VECTOR, in line with both ISO 2631-1 standards and UK-specific regulations. The device provides A(8) results in multiple formats: m/s² (RMS), m/s^1.75 (VDV), and Points. One of the standout features of the SV100A is its ability to monitor the time remaining before reaching the exposure limits set by the UK regulations. The device activates an alarm when these limits are approached or reached, thereby serving as an effective real-time monitoring system for ensuring compliance and safeguarding worker health.

Whole-Body Vibration App

mobile app for whole-body vibration

The Whole-Body Vibration App for the SV100A Dosimeter directly interfaces with the device via Bluetooth, offering real-time monitoring of A(8) vibration exposure in compliance with the UK's Control of Vibration at Work Regulations 2005. The app not only displays current measurements but also issues an alarm when UK-specific vibration limits are exceeded. Additionally, the app integrates GPS data with vibration metrics, plotting this information on a map. This unique feature allows for a nuanced understanding of A(8) vibration exposure in relation to variables like vehicle speed and road conditions. The Whole-Body Vibration App thereby serves as a critical tool for ensuring regulatory compliance and worker safety in the UK.

Motion sickness

vibrations with frequencies below 0.5 Hz

The SV100A Whole-Body Vibration Dosimeter is equipped to measure low-frequency vibrations down to 0.1 Hz, making it suitable for assessing motion sickness risks in compliance with ISO 2631-1 standards. Such low-frequency vibrations, typically below 0.5 Hz, are commonly experienced on ships and sea vessels and can lead to symptoms like dizziness and vomiting. The device measures these low-frequency vibrations in the vertical axis using a Wf weighting filter. This capability allows the SV100A to be a comprehensive tool for evaluating not just standard vibration exposure but also specialized conditions like motion sickness, further enhancing its utility in diverse environments.

The SV100A vibration dosimeter allows for unattended measurements of vibrations on all vehicle seats. The device features an integrated vibration sensor in a seat-pad, making it wireless. It also offers a Bluetooth connection to a mobile application, which links to GPS location and speed data. This capability for unattended measurements makes the SV100A a convenient and efficient tool for assessing vibration exposure risks, especially in compliance with UK regulations like the Control of Vibration at Work Regulations 2005. The wireless feature and integration with mobile applications for GPS data add layers of functionality that can be particularly useful for real-time monitoring and data analysis.

Vibration Measurement

Whole-body vibration

Control of Vibration at Work Regulations 2005.

In the UK, the application for the SV100A Whole-Body Vibration Dosimeter serves as a real-time monitoring system that ensures compliance with the Control of Vibration at Work Regulations 2005. The app provides immediate feedback on A(8) vibration exposure and VECTOR values in formats such as m/s² (RMS), m/s^1.75 (VDV), and Points. This enables quick and accurate assessments that align with UK-specific guidelines. One of the key features of the application is its ability to alert users when they are approaching or have reached the UK-specific vibration exposure limits. Additionally, the app automatically adjusts to changes in the orientation of the SV100A device, updating the directions of axes and weighting filters in line with ISO 2631-1 standards. This focus on real-time data and adaptability makes the application an indispensable tool for managing whole-body vibration risks in various UK work environments.
