DoseBadge 5
The doseBadge5 is the next generation doseBadge noise dosimeter from Cirrus.
It provides all of the unique features of the original doseBadge such as no controls, cables or displays with a range of new functions and features allowing it to be used for compliance with any occupational noise standard.
Bluetooth® communication to the dBLink App (for Android and iOS) or the doseBadge5 Wand allows the instrument to be configured and controlled without user intervention.
IMeasurements can be scheduled to start, pause and stop automatically with the timer functions allowing the doseBadge5 to be deployed quickly and easily.
Automatic calibration detection and USB download through the doseBadge5 Dock alongside the secure, robust internal microphone and tap sensor help ensure that your noise measurements are as effective as possible.
- Data download via USB through the 5 Dock/Charger
- NoiseTools software supplied as standard for reporting & data analysis
- User configurable ULT triggers for all channels
- Visual indication of Dose exceedence with user defined levels
- Fast & Slow time weightings for RMS channels
