Do your induction loop installations comply with current British standards?

BS8300 (the code of practice for the design of buildings and their approaches to meet the needs of disabled people) states that all loop systems should conform to BS7594 and BS EN60118-4. The best way to ensure compliance is to use SigNET’s new FoSmeter / P-NGen range of induction loop testing equipment.  The range comprises the P-NGen Pink Noise Generator and the FoSmeter Magnetic Field Strength Meter. Used together, they represent the most reliable method of ensuring that an AFILS system is working correctly.  A combined Pink Noise Generator and Magnetic Field Strength Meter (the FoSmeter+) and a combined Magnetic Field Strength Meter and Loop Listening Device (the FoSmeter H) are also available.
.

The P-NGen can be connected to the line level input of most audio-frequency induction loop amplifiers. It has a fixed level output of approx. 400mV RMS and a crest factor of approx. 4:1.  The following leads are available for connecting the P-NGen to a PDA Range induction loop system:-  AL1: 3.5mm jack to 3.5mm jack lead AL2: 3.5mm jack to double phono lead AL3: 3.5mm jack to pre-cut end lead All leads are 10m long.  

For customers wishing to make their own connection leads, please note that TIP = Audio+; Ring = Audio -; SCREEN = internal ground.

The FoSmeter can be used to accurately measure the magnetic field strength of an induction loop system. It is calibrated at manufacture for accuracy and linearity using a calibrated magnetic field and includes 10 LEDs laid out in 3dB increments. These LEDs indicate the magnetic field strength relative to 100mA/m (i.e. 0dB) and their response is fast attack and slow decay in line with peak programme meter type instruments.  Two switches are also provided, a normal/A-Weight FILTER switch and high/low GAIN switch.

To check your loops               1                                2

Connect the P-NGen Pink Noise Generator to the amplifier’s line level input.

Measure the field strength throughout the covered area using the FoSmeter Magnetic Field Strength Meter. If it is between -6 and +6 you are ok
