Cirrus Research plc - Model doseBadge5 -Personal Noise Dosimeter

The advanced doseBadge5  personal noise dosimeter offers an enhanced analysis of noise levels and noise frequencies for the ultimate protection against noise in the workplace. Ideal for noise-at-work assessments, industrial hygiene and for protecting workers from excessive noise.

• Complies with IEC and ANSI Personal Sound Exposure Meter Standards
  
• LAeq, LCpeak and exposure parameters
  
• 1:1 Octave noise filter measurement for hearing protection calculations
  
• Four integrator channels allow you to meet any occupational noise measurement standard or regulation worldwide
  
• Associated dBLink app for wireless Bluetooth operation, configuration, and data review
  
• Scheduled measurement timers that reduce the potential for user error

The Advanced doseBadge5 is a high-performance wireless noise dosimeter that allows you to make compliant occupational noise exposure measurements, put into place effective control measures, and ensure that workers are not exposed to noise levels that will put their hearing at risk.

It’s simple to use and allows you to gather robust, reliable information for use in the assessment of occupational noise exposure. There are no cables, controls, or displays on the individual badges so they remain tamper-proof.

In addition to the four independent channels or integrators (which you can configure to meet any combination of Regulations, Standards or Guidelines worldwide), the doseBadge5 also provides real-time octave band analysis over the entire measurement and when combined with our license-free NoiseTools software, allows individual noise sources to be identified, making the selection of hearing protection, quicker, simpler and more effective.

Throughout a measurement, the doseBadge5 noise dosimeter will measure the noise levels in octave bands from 63Hz to 8kHz, giving you detailed information about the frequency content of the noise. This allows you to accurately detemine the levels of hearing protection needed based not only on noise levels (dB(A)), but also based on the dominant frequency of the noise. You can download this information into the NoiseTools software for analysis and to create compliant noise exposure reports. NoiseTools also includes a comprehensive list of hearing protectors and will recommend the best ones to you based on your measurements.

Not only does the doseBadge5 noise dosimeter give the overall data (unweighted Leq) for each octave band, it also logs and stores a time history (or noise profile) for each band throughout the entire measurement.

This feature allows you to identify specific noise sources within a measurement, mark and annotate them, and use the hearing defender selector within NoiseTools to choose the correct level of hearing protection.

• In summary with the doseBadge5 noise dosimeter, you can:
• Measure the frequency content of the measured noise exposure
• Highlight sections of the measurement and assess hearing protection against known noise sources
• Assess hearing protection against a number of different measurements using the Measurement Group functions in NoiseTools
• Gather detailed insights into the noise exposures of workers and make effective, informed decisions based on accurate data
• Use Time History, to highlight sections of the measurement and understand more about the exposure levels at particular times
• Produce compliant occupational noise reports with ease

The free dBLink App supports the doseBadge⁵ Personal Noise Dosimeters and allows you to control and configure your measurements wirelessly. You can also view your measurement data live (e.g. mid-shift readings) and display all of your stored measurements.
