Overview
Barriers to accurately assessing the noise exposure of workers are removed with the innovative Model 22 doseBadge System. Traditional systems rely on large, cumbersome units using cables and separate microphones which can easily become damaged or tangled in machinery.
The revolutionary doseBadge is a self-contained noise measurement device that has no cables, displays or controls, making it an ideal solution for noise dosimetry because units cannot be tampered with during measurements.
DoseBadges communicate with an infra-red Reader Unit – similar technology to a television remote control. The Reader Unit controls the doseBadge to program, calibrate, start/stop, download and store measurements.
All key measurement parameters can be viewed on the large clear backlit screen of the Reader Unit, which also displays a time history graph of workers’ daily noise exposure.
The Reader Unit contains an integral acoustic calibrator allowing the doseBadge to be calibrated prior to and following each measurement in accordance with international regulations.
Worldwide Occupational or Industrial Noise Regulations require the typical daily exposure of an individual worker to be determined. The doseBadge automatically achieves this by computing the Daily Exposure for European legislation or the Time Weighted Average for US based legislation.
Noise dosimetry measurements are only the beginning, our effective, user-friendly software package dBLink3 allows users to quickly analyse and transform data into informative report formats, simplifying a potentially complex and time consuming process.
Full ‘Time History’ information allows you to determine when key noise problems occur during a workers day. The additional ‘C’ weighted peak Time History allows you to fully assess risks from impulsive noise in the workplace.
Applications
The Model 22 doseBadge systems are ideal for most applications as the preferred method of calculating personal daily noise exposures to ensure compliance with International Safety Legislation.
It is especially suitable for applications where workers are regularly moving from location to location, working with moving machinery, in difficult to reach areas, vehicle cabins, shift work or with unpredictable work patterns.
Typical noisy areas include: Manufacturing, Construction, Utilities (Gas, Water & Electricity), Local Authority / Government, Shipping, Entertainment / Leisure, Education / Higher Learning, Highway Maintenance, Haulage / Transport, Rail, Agriculture, Aviation, Public Transport, Emergency Service (Hospitals, Fire, Police), Chemical, Mining, Printing and Catering.
Software
The Model 22 doseBadge System is supplied with the dBLink3 software program. This program uses a step by step wizard, which reassuringly guides the user throughout set up and download procedures, and allows measurement data to be viewed, analysed and printed.
Three pre-formatted report types are provided to present the measurement data. These reports can be printed or exported into a number of formats including Word, Excel and PDF.
dBLink3 also supports previous versions of the doseBadge and Reader Units, allowing existing users to upgrade this new program.
