This is the dBadge2 Plus Dosimeter Kit which is a great tool for a large variety of workplace noise assessments and also campaigns. It also has the added benefit of wireless connectivity which will increase productivity and confidence. The difference between the Plus and the Standard kit is that it comes with an audio recording option.
It has been specifically designed to make the process of noise exposure metrics easier. The dBadge2’s concept captures every possible noise exposure related parameter during a measurement run and then makes it available for subsequent download and analysis. All you have to do is choose which you think is the most relevant parameter to display on the screen. The original dBadge® has proved to be an invaluable tool in monitoring personal exposure. However the dBadge2® represents the next generation and builds on well-established must-have features and usability.
It boasts a ‘multiple simulated dosimeter’ capability which will allow you to display noise exposure results according to the different regional and international protocols. The dBadge2 also takes advantage of the OLED display as it colour-codes the D1, D2 and D3 data in order to help review in the field but also with an ability to define colour coded alarm values. This is the dBadge 2 Plus and so boasts an audio recording option which allows you to record voice notes for a measurement run such as an employee's name or task. It also allows you to set parameters to trigger a recording, e.g. when a limit is exceeded or to identify a particular event. The dBadge2 can be custom configured by and downloaded to a PC using the Docking Station and Casella Insight Data Management Software. Once it is downloaded, data can be stored under a worker’s name, location or process so that a database or noise exposure can be built up. The dBadge2 is available as a complete starter kit with everything that you require to get up and running. A kit includes the dBadge of your choice; Standard, Plus or Pro, a CEL-120/2 Acoustic calibrator 3-way combined Docking Station and charger, universal mains power supply, USB cable and Casella Insight data management software, all encased in a kit case that is fully capable of carrying 10 dBadge2 products, and also up to three docking stations.
