Action Button Key
Throughout the Test Results section, there are various action buttons and checkboxes. See the table below for more
information on these options.
Red “X” The binaural PAR minus uncertainty failed to meet the
target minimum attenuation. A failed measurement can
be set as a baseline, but you will not be able to assign a
hearing protector that has failed. Uncertainty is displayed
in the Detail View Tab.
Yellow Caution Three conditions trigger this warning and the software
will alert the operator. The first condition is when the
attenuation value is less than 10 dB at 125 Hz. The second
condition is when there is a 15 dB or more difference
between the left and right PAR measurements. The third
condition occurs when octave-band attenuation values or
PAR value exceed defined limits, which may indicate a
blocked probe tube. In these cases, the pop-up will
suggest that the hearing protector be retested after
adjusting how it is worn or inspecting and possibly
replacing the test probe. You may mark a cautioned
measurement as a baseline, but you will not be able to
assign a hearing protector when a caution symbol is
present.
Grey Ellipses (dots) The employee record does not have a noise exposure
level included. Without an employee exposure value,
protection sufficiency cannot be determined. You may
mark a grey measurement as a baseline, but you will not
be able to assign a hearing protector where protection
sufficiency cannot be determined.
Button/Checkbox Description
End Session Session Duration is the total test time for each employee
including each fit-tested hearing protector (if more than
one is tested). The session timer will start and stop when
a different employee is selected, or the session is ended
by the operator, and/or when the software is closed.
Retest Product Immediately run a new test of the same product
Test Another Product Opens the product selector to allow testing of another
product
Baseline Will set a benchmark when the employee is first tested.
Once checked, the baseline will be stored in the history
column.
Assigned When employee achieves adequate hearing protection
and a tested product is assigned to employee for use
while working in noise. Once checked, assigned products
will appear in the history column and be stored in the
database as the primary hearing protector.
