Applications

  • Measurement of Personal Noise Exposure
  • Assessing and Monitoring noise in the workplace
  • Ensuring compliance with Noise at Work regulations

The doseBadge is a unique solution to the problems associated with the measurement of Personal Noise Exposure. The doseBadge itself has no controls or cables which means that the unit can be used in situations where the wearer is working in confined spaces or where there is a risk of a cable being caught in machinery.

The doseBadge can only be operated (reset, calibrated, started and stopped) using the Reader unit or the Keyfob remote control. This dramatically reduces the possibility of the wearer tampering with the unit. The small size and light weight design of the doseBadge also reduces the risk of damage to the unit.

The measurements provided the doseBadge have been designed to allow full compliance with Occupational Noise regulations, whilst giving a simple output that can be easily understood.

The design of the doseBadge allows the case to be much smaller than a conventional dosemeter. This ensures that the movement of the user is not constricted by cables and connectors. The unit has no controls or switches, will all functions controlled by either the RC:100B Reader unit, or by the RC:101A Keyfob Controller. The rechargable battery is sealed within the unit and is charged using the reader unit or by additional charging blocks.

 

The RC:100B Reader can store up to 255 measurements, from any number of doseBadges. For example, the user can start a system with a single badge, a reader and a power supply. The system can then be expanded by simply adding more badges and block charging units as required. Kit cases are available to hold up to 10 badges and accessories.

In most situations, the doseBadge is supplied as a complete measurement kit, with the user simply specifying the number of badges required. From August 2002, each reader unit is supplied with the dBLink and the doseBadge software and a download cable. The standard doseBadge measurement kits are listed below.

CM:100 doseBadge Helmet Mount

A new mounting is available for the doseBadge Personal Noise Dosemeter (shown in picture on left)

The new CM:100 mount allows the doseBadge to be fitted to a standard protective helmet.

The mount uses a version of the clip that is usually used to attach hearing protection to a helmet and can be mounted on either side of the helmet.

Please note that if the CM:100 Helmet Mount is fitted, hearing protection cannot be attached to the helmet.

Versions & Ordering Information

There are many different types of helmets available and there are three different mounts to suit the different helmets. Please ensure that you have the correct mount for the helmet used.
