Introduction
Welcome to your doseBadge5 personal noise dosimeter. Measuring people’s personal
exposure to noise is now easier than ever before with a range of features and functions
that will change the way you monitor noise in the workplace.
The doseBadge5 is the result over 20 year’s development of the original doseBadge concept
and maintains the unique features of the doseBadge including:
• No cables, controls or display
• Simple setup, deployment & data download
• Robust, rugged design with a secure, internal microphone capsule.
The doseBadge5 advances the concept with a range of new functions & features including:
• LCeq - LAeq measurements for HML (C-A)
• Storage of multiple measurements with
• Up to 80 hours of Time History Data (6 Channels)
• Up to 40 individual measurements
• 1 second data logging of all integrators & peak channels
• Scheduled, automatic timed measurements with daily timers
• Remote communication to the dBLink App (Android & iOS) and the doseBadge5 wand
• View measurements & configure the doseBadge5 with the dBLink App for mobile
devices
• Tap sensor to protect your measurements from external impacts
• Up to 4 simultaneous integrators & 2 peak channels
• Allocate doseBadge5 instruments to individual users to track measurements easily &
effectively
• Internal microphone with automatic calibration
• Visual indication of Dose exceedence with user defined levels
• 60dB to 143dB measurement range
The doseBadge5 has been designed to allow noise exposure measurements to be made in
accordance with a wide range of standards, regulations and guidelines such as:
• CFR 1910.95 Occupational Noise Exposure
• ISO 9612:2009 Acoustics – Determination of occupational noise exposure –
Engineering method
• HSE Document L108 Controlling Noise at Work – Guidance on Regulations
The doseBadge5 is capable of measuring up to 4 simultaneous integrators and 2 Peak
channels at the same time with data logging available for all channels and so can be
configured to meet any combination of occupational noise standards.
