doseBadge Professional Overview

The doseBadge Professional is a high specification noise dosimeter for monitoring a worker's exposure to high noise levels in the workplace. It mounts on a worker's shoulder in order to measure the total noise exposure throughout the working day or shift. This Professional version makes all the measurements of the lower cost Industrial doseBadge but adds a number of useful features for a deeper analysis of the sound levels, better measurement control and more detailed reporting.

Noise Regulations

The doseBadge Pro can be configured to comply with any occupational noise regulations, standards or guidelines. As it has four independent channels or integrators, it can be configured to meet multiple regulations at the same time.

For regulations such as OSHA in the USA, the doseBadge Pro can be set up to measure to both OSHA HCA and OSHA PEL at the same time. Maybe even add an ISO (3dB) channel so you have historic measurements in case the OSHA regulations change at some time!

doseBadge Industrial or doseBadge Professional

The doseBadge Industrial is a slightly lower cost noise dosimeter that offers the functions required by the regulations, but of course doesn't have many of the advanced features offered by the Professional.

The following features are only available in the Professional version:

  • Timers to start measurements automatically
  • Real-time octave band filters
  • Easier and better selection of hearing protection
  • Bluetooth link to mobile phone app (see Software tab)
  • 4 independent channels for combined regulations
  • Docking station for charging and USB download
  • Internal shock sensor to detect impact and tampering

doseBadge Pro Noise Dosimeter

The doseBadge Pro is a noise dosimeter that mounts on the worker's shoulder, attached to the clothing with two clips, to measure the noise levels throughout the day.

doseBadge Pro

The measurement process can be started (see the Using It tab) and left running for the duration of the work shift.

Rechargeable Battery

The battery in the doseBadge Pro is charged using the Docking station. From flat it takes about three hours to fully charge a doseBadge. One docking station can charge five doseBadges at the same time. The docking station also houses the USB link to a computer for configuration and download.

Shock Sensor

One of the issues with dosimetry is related to the microphone getting knocked - usually accidentally, but not always! This causes a spike in the noise level and a high Peak reading. The shock and motion sensor helps separate the genuine high Peak levels from those caused by knocks.

Bluetooth

As well as the standard USB interface to your PC (via the dock), the doseBadge Pro also has Bluetooth as standard. A mobile phone app for both Android and Apple devices is available at no extra cost. This can be used to configure, start/stop and view ongoing measurements. See the Software tab for more information.

Noise Measurements

A noise dosimeter is designed to measure the sound levels that a worker is exposed to throughout the day. Depending on the regulations being followed, this will be expressed as a Time Weighted Average (TWA), Dose % or LEPd (daily exposure). The doseBadge Pro has four independent channels that can be used to cover different regulations at the same time. The main measurement parameters are:

US OSHA Style Regulations

  • Lavg - average sound level with Slow time weighting and Thresholds
  • TWA - Time Weighted Average
  • Dose %
  • Peak

ISO Style Regulations

  • LAeq - average sound level
  • LEP,d or LEX,8hr - daily noise exposure
  • Peak

With the multiple integrators you can measure in both OSHA and ISO regulations at the same time, and also take the OSHA HCA and OSHA PEL at the same time too.

Octaves and Hearing Protection

The doseBadge Pro can provide you with the C-A calculation for HML hearing protector selection, or you can take a more detailed approach using the real-time octave band filters.

The doseBadge Pro stores the overall octave band content, but it also stores a time history of the octave bands throughout the measurement period. You can select a period of interest (particularly high noise levels for example) and run further analysis and hearing protector checks for that time.

Start of the Working Day

  • Calibrate the doseBadge (requirement of the regulations)
  • Attach the doseBadge Pro to the worker using the clips included
  • Start the measurement (software, mobile app, Wand or timer)

Leave the noise dosimeter to measure for the full working shift.

End of the Work Shift

  • Stop the measurement
  • Remove the doseBadge Pro from the worker
  • Recalibrate the doseBadge
  • Put the doseBadge Pro on the dock to download and charge

A summary of the measurements can be viewed using the mobile phone app, but it is normally more convenient to download the measurements to a computer using the docking station and software provided.

The doseBadges will charge on the Dock, taking up to three hours from flat.

Software for the doseBadge Professional

The doseBadge Pro kits include the NoiseTools software, which has the following main features:

  • Configure the doseBadge Pro noise dosimeter
  • Set timers to control measurements
  • Download measurements from the doseBadge Pro
  • Link measurements to a person, place or project
  • View noise exposure and octave band measurements
  • Produce noise reports for printing or sharing

The NoiseTools software runs on a Windows PC, working on Windows 7, 8 and 10. There is no charge for the software and there are no license restrictions, so you can install it on as many computers as needed.

You can download the software with some sample data if you want to try it out before buying the kit, to be sure it operates correctly on your computer system.

Mobile App

Start and stop measurements, configure the doseBadge Pro and view measurement progress using the mobile app, which is available free of charge for iOS and Android phones or tablets.

doseBadge Pro Measurement Kits

The CK120/x dosimeter kits include everything needed for a detailed occupational noise survey. These kits include:

doseBadgesStandard kits have 1, 2, 3, 5 or 10 doseBadge Pro noise dosimeters. Other quantities can be supplied
WindshieldsEach doseBadge has a protective, removable windshield
CalibratorA 114 dB Class 2 acoustic calibrator
Charging DockOne or more docks are provided to charge all doseBadges at the same time. Each dock takes up to 5 doseBadges
SoftwareNoiseTools software included, mobile app from app store
Carrying CaseHolds all these items
PaperworkUser manuals and calibration certificates

Optional Items

As the CK120/x kits include everything you need there are very few options. Individual parts (doseBadges, Calibrator, etc.) can be bought by selecting the Parts tab in the Ordering box above.

RC120A "Wand" Remote Control

The "Wand" can be used instead of the mobile app to start, pause and stop measurements, and to view mid-shift readings. Although not essential, in some circumstances it can be more convenient than using a mobile or tablet.

It communicates with the doseBadge Pro over a Bluetooth connection.
