| NEO DEVICE ALREADY INSTALLED AT HOSPITAL POSADAS, BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA |
NEO (for NEOnatology) device, which can be seen in the above picture, allows real-time monitoring of sound levels
existing in a determined area. As in a traffic light, green lights
indicate a sound level within tolerable limits, yellow lights indicate that
sound is near to reach its maximum limit, and red lights indicate that sound
level has exceeded that limit.
In
addition, NEO provides a clear and unmistakable visual warning signal as soon
as the noise limit of the area is exceeded: red light and the word SILENCIO (SILENCE) flashing both at the same time.
Everybody
can easily understand NEO warning sign so immediate action can be taken
(without the hassle -and embarrassment- of having to be asking everybody for silence).
The
noise limit can easily be set by turning the knob on the right side of the device.
So, you can adjust the noise limit to suit the function of the room.
NEO was enterely designed in our school:
EEST 2 TRES DE FEBRERO,
BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA.
