Product catalog summary
Overview
The HVM100 by Larson Davis is a portable device designed for monitoring vibration exposure in various work environments. It is crucial for assessing risks associated with high levels of vibration, which can lead to conditions like Hand-arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS) and other physical injuries.

Specifications
  • Measures hand-arm and whole-body vibration.
  • Conforms to ISO 2631 and 5349 standards; Type 1 instrument per ISO 8041.
  • Simultaneous 3-channel measurements (X, Y, Z axes) and vector sum calculation.
  • Lightweight and portable with up to 200 hours of data recording.
  • Programmable AC or DC signal output and PC interface via USB/Serial.

Applications
  • Worker exposure assessment and compliance with EU Directive 2002/44/EC.
  • Ergonomic evaluation and workstation optimization.
  • Risk quantification and hand-tool performance qualification.
  • Effectiveness testing of anti-vibration gloves and materials.

Features
  • Blaze® software for easy setup, calibration, and data management.
  • Supports additional Larson Davis noise monitoring devices.
  • Stores up to 100 time-history test files for detailed analysis.
  • Digital filters for compliance with evolving standards.

Risks and Industry Relevance
  • High vibration exposure can cause irreversible damage, affecting industries like construction, mining, and transportation.
  • Hand-arm vibration can lead to symptoms like numbness and pain, while whole-body vibration can cause spinal and musculoskeletal disorders.

Technical Specifications
  • Input types: ICP® sensors, direct voltage.
  • Frequency weighting for hand-arm and whole-body vibration.
  • Memory for 100 measurements, with detailed time history.
  • Standards met: ISO 8041:2005, 2631 series, 5349 series, ANSI 2.70-2006.

Accessories
  • Various accelerometer adaptors and calibration tools.
  • Triaxial and single-axis accelerometers available.
  • Comprehensive kits including sensors, adaptors, and software.

Conclusion
The HVM100 is a comprehensive solution for monitoring and documenting vibration exposure, ensuring compliance with safety standards and aiding in the prevention of vibration-related injuries.

Industrial Hygiene Vibration Monitor-1

Industrial Hygiene Vibration Monitor Complete Convenient System for Exposure Limit Compliance Testing Highlights I Frequency weightings and measurements for hand-arm and whole-body vibration Conforms to ISO 2631 and 5349; Type 1 instrument per ISO 8041 Displays “Exposure Points” (Hand-Arm Mode) Simultaneous 3-channel measurements: X, Y and Z axes, plus Sum (S) Records up to 200 hours of time history Programmable AC or DC signal output Interface-to PC (USB/Serial). Applications I I Compliance with EU Physical Agents Directive 2002/44/EC Ergonomic evaluation Workstation design and optimization HVM100 is ideal for hand-arm and whole-body exposure assesments Worker exposure assessment Quantify risk of injury per accepted permissible exposure limits Qualify hand-tool performance Determine effectiveness of anti-vibration gloves and materials Exposure to high levels of vibration has been shown to cause permanent injury if left unchecked and untreated. Determining potential for injury from exposure to vibration should be considered part of a comprehensive ergonomic evaluation and risk assessment program. Model HVM100 from Larson Davis provides a portable, practical means for quantifying exposure data on the job, whether the work is performed inside manufacturing or process plants or at the most remote agricultural, mining or construction sites. Wherever there is work to be done using heavy mobile equipment or rotating reciprocating hand tools powered by air, electricity, or internal combustion, the HVM100 is the easy way to obtain and document the levels of exposure that have been proven to cause a wide range of potential injury including Hand-arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS – also known as 'Vibration White Finger Disease' or VWF) and other more insidious physical effects.

Industrial Hygiene Vibration Monitor-3

Industrial Hygiene Vibration Monitor About Human Exposure to Vibration in the Workplace Risks to workers from exposure to high levels of vibration include decreased performance and even permanent injury. Two common types of vibration exposure have been identified as deleterious: hand-arm vibration and whole-body vibration. These exposures are prevalent in the following industries: ■ Transportation / Material Handling (axial mode) Hand Grip Worker exposure to high levels of vibration from powered hand tools can cause vibration syndrome symptoms such as numbness, pain, tingling and blanching. Vibration...
