Key features of the doseBadge Noise Dosemeter
The doseBadge Noise Dosimeter is the ideal instrument for measuring occupational noise exposure levels and meeting the Noise at Work Regulations.
Small, lightweight, very robust and simple to use, the doseBadge Noise Dosimeter gives you the essential information you need to assess the noise exposure of employees and to assess this against the requirements of the Noise at Work Regulations.
- Measures & stores the essential Noise at Work noise parameters
- Programmable measurements allow for compliance with most Occupational Noise & Industrial Hygiene regulations worldwide
- Very simple operation
- Compact, rugged design weighs only 51g
- Time history data stored as standard
- Dual channel measurements to meet different regulations at the same time
- Robust metal case prevents damage & servicing costs
- No external controls, cables or displays reduces damage, tampering or misuse
- Complete self-contained 2 channel noise dosimeter with internal microphone
- Visual indication of when 100% noise dose has been exceeded
- Analysis & Reporting software with licence-free installation & free lifetime updates
- 90 minute (typical) charge time with 30 hours (typical) battery life
- Intrinsically safe version available with ATEX, EEx, IECEx & FM Certification for hazardous atmospheres
- High performance rechargeable Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) battery
- Wireless infra-red download of measurement to the Reader Unit with measurements presented quickly & simply – no need to connect to a PC to view your measurements
The doseBadge can measure a wide range of noise parameters and functions but to help you meet the Noise at Work Regulations, the essential information that you need is presented quickly using the Reader Unit.
The first screen that you see shows:
Serial Number – This allows you to identify which doseBadge was used
Measurement Time – The time that the measurement started
Measurement Date – The date that the measurement started
Run Time – The duration of the measurement
Below this are the individual noise values:
LAeq,t – This is the Leq with ‘A’-Weighting and is the most important value along with the Run Time
LEX,8h – This is also known as the LEP,d and is calculated from the Leq and Run Time
LCPeak – This is the highest Peak(C) level that has been recorded over the measurement
Time History – The doseBadge stores a Time History or Noise Profile across the entire measurement
Calibration Information – Information about when the doseBadge was calibrated
Further parameters are available if required including:
% Dose
Estimated % Dose
Exposure in Pa2Hr
Estimated Exposure in Pa2Hr
Sound Exposure Level (LAE or SEL)
A more detailed explanation of these parameters is available in the Blog section.
