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.

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.
