to measure, monitor and record noise nuisance,” says James Tingay, Cirrus Research marketing manager. “It offers high quality, high resolution audio recording as standard using a 16bit/16kHz uncompressed WAV file. This gives plenty of frequency range (up to 8kHz) and a wide dynamic range (up to 96dB) so audio recordings can handle both high and low levels with no loss of quality.” Another key feature is the wireless remote control and 4GB memory. This is usually more than enough for most applications but it can be expanded with a 32GB option.
“With the AuditStore function in the Trojan2, you can also guarantee the chain of data from the instrument to the software, a useful feature if you need to present measurements and recordings as evidence,” adds Tingay. Other features included on the Trojan2 are pre & post Trigger
options for audio recording that can be set as needed. The pre- trigger can be up to 30 seconds and post-trigger up to 60 seconds. All the software provided is licence-free with NoiseTools supplied
as standard, free of charge and without any installation or licensing restrictions. This means customers can install it on to many desk- tops, laptops or servers as at no extra cost. Updates are also free. The Trojan2 is designed to be mains powered with secure cables, but it will switch to its own internal batteries if the mains power is lost. Another important feature is that when power is restored, the noise nuisance recorder will start up again and continue to operate. The Trojan2 will automatically restart when the mains power is restored even if its internal batteries are flat.

SEPTEMBER 2013 Factory Equipment Industrial anti-slip
matting protection Bespoke Vynagrip anti-slip matting modules are being used to protect workers at the Sugitani Metal Industry Company, a sub-contractor of a major Japanese car manufacture that specialises in the production of automotive components in Japan. The matting modules, supplied complete with bevelled edges, have been installed in the cutting operations area. Manufactured in the UK by Plastic Extruders and supplied by Japanese distributor AM Products, Vynagrip is said to provide a safe and effective solution for this dangerous location. The combination of metal shavings, cutting oil and water used for cleansing pose serious underfoot hazards for the workers and the matting addresses these multiple problems in solution. The benefits of its deeply etched sur-
face include a combination of durability and high slip resistance while the open grid surface allows the metals shavings to fall through the gaps as well as facil- itate drainage. The matting’s PVC flexi- ble composition makes it resistant to oils and other chemicals, is comfortable underfoot and facilitates cutting on site. Plastic Extruders T: 01268 571116
