Code Blue SLNP0166 Hearing Loop Field Meter
Overview
The Code Blue SLNP0166 is a portable field meter designed to measure and verify hearing loop system performance during installation, commissioning, and maintenance in institutional and commercial facilities. Technicians use this device to confirm signal strength and loop coverage before handoff to end users — critical in ADA-compliant AV systems where loop quality directly affects accessibility. The meter connects to networked infrastructure via PoE (802.3af), eliminating the need for dedicated power lines and enabling flexible placement within hearing loop installations.
Compatibility
The SLNP0166 integrates into any networked hearing loop infrastructure built to standard IEC 60118-4 specifications. It pairs with institutional AV systems, assistive listening amplifiers, and networked audio distribution platforms where loop signal verification is required. PoE sourcing means compatibility with any standard 802.3af-compliant switch or injector — no special power provisioning needed.
Installation Notes
Mount the meter at representative locations within the hearing loop coverage area — entrance halls, meeting rooms, worship spaces — to verify uniform signal distribution. IP68 rating means the unit resists dust and water immersion, supporting both indoor and outdoor measurement scenarios without protective housing. Power draws under 13W via standard PoE, so no dedicated circuits or supplies are required. Field commissioning workflow: position meter, read signal strength on display, adjust amplifier gain if needed to meet facility standards, document results for ADA compliance records.
