CORE AS-HYDRAULIC OIL COOLER 1437397 - Caterpillar

Note: The information that is contained in this Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Sound Information" has not been verified at the time of publication.Note: Information of the sound level is for machines in European Union countries and in countries that adopt the directives of the European Union.
Hearing protection may be needed when working near an operating generator set.
Sound levels will vary depending on the configuration of the generator set and the final installation of the generator set.Refer to the following for sound levels:
The sound pressure level of a complete generator set (including the radiator) at 1 meter is 107 dB(A) for the noisiest configuration when "ISO 8528-10:1998(E) clause 14" is used at 75 percent of the rated power.
The sound power level of a complete generator set (including the radiator) that is not covered by the "European Union Directive 2000/14/EC" is 118 dB(A) for the noisiest configuration when "ISO 8528-10:1998(E) clause 13" is used at 75 per cent of the rated power.
The sound pressure level of a partly completed generator set (excluding the radiator) at 1 meter is 104 dB(A) for the noisiest configuration when "ISO 8528-10:1998(E) clause 14" is used at 75 percent of the rated power.
The sound power level of a partly completed generator set (excluding the radiator) is 114 dB(A) for the noisiest configuration when "ISO 8528-10:1998(E) clause 13" is used at 75 percent of the rated power.Note: The preceding sound levels are emission levels. The preceding sound levels are not necessarily safe sound levels. There is a correlation between the emission levels and the level of exposure. The correlation between emission levels and the level of exposure cannot be used to determine if further precautions are required.Refer to the following for factors that influence the level of exposure:
The characteristics of the area around the generator set
Other sources of noise
The number of machines and other adjacent processes
The length of time of exposure to the noiseThis information will enable the user of the machine to evaluate the hazard and the risk.
