The SoundEar II Noise Activated Warning Sign is very easy to install. A simple three to four point process:
Mounts on the wall on a single screw
Plug in using supplied adapter
Set the level at which to light up
Adjust the level after a day or two experience
The mounting point can be seen on the rear of the noise sign. A single screw in the wall is adequate to hold the light-weight sign.

Mounting and Adjusting the Noise Activated Sign
Location and Sound Level
The perfect location for a sign depends on the layout and the acoustics
of the area in question. The most important aspect of the SoundEar
is that it reminds people to keep the level down, so it is best
to mount them where clearly visible to anybody entering
the room or area.
There
is also no simple rule about the level at which the sign should light
up. Different areas have different ambient noise levels
and different acceptable limits. When a reasonable background level is required for conversation then a good starting point is to set the noise sign to light up at 55 dB(A) - the yellow lights will come on at 50 dB(A). Run the sign for a few hours, or even a few days, and get a feel
for whether it is being too sensitive for the given environment
or whether it is letting people get away with too much. Adjust up
or down by 5 dB as needed.
Power
Power Adapter
The SoundEar II comes complete with a plug-top power adapter. This provides the safe low voltage that the noise sign requires.
The SoundEar II has been developed for use in areas that need high electrical safety, such as hospitals, and has been approved in accordance with IEC 60601-1 (medical electrical equipment).
