2. PRINCIPLE OF MEASURING ACCUMULATED NOISE EXPOSURE

DOSE is a parameter used to quantify noise exposure measured in a period, during
turns of % noise exposure relative to 90dBA for 8 hours.

i.e. 100% DOSE = 90dBA for 8 hours

This is known as the Criterion. Other criterion are available such as 100% DOSE =
85dBA for 8 hours to meet legislation in different countries.

If the person stayed in this environment for 4 hours, he would receive 50%DOSE.
Also if the noise level was say 93dBA, 3dB higher, a 100% DOSE would be

accumulated in only 4 hours, the above example is for a dose meter with 3dB
Exchange Rate, where a 3dB increase in sound level corresponds to a doubling
energy. A dose meter with 5dB Exchange Rate is also, available where the sound
must increase by 5dB to double the dose as required to meet noise legislation in
some countries.

3. INTRODUCTION TO THE DOSE METER

The Noise Dose Meter measure the frequency weighted noise exposures and peak
sound levels simultaneously.

The meter has the following features:

• Multiple simulated dosimeters (termed D1, D2 & D3)

• Simple operation, including direct read-out of results

• Ten built–in standard dose measurement setups:

OSHA-80, OSHA-90, MSHA-80, MSHA-90, DOD, ACGIH, ISO-85, ISO-90, NR-15
and NHO-01

-1-

• Pause function

• Nine user defined measurement setups

• 30 dose (DATA) result stores

• Download of setups from PC to the meter

• Keypad lock protects meter against accidental operation

• Timers support pre–selection of measurement time and duration

• USB PC interface for the charging unit

The meter is ideal for quick on–site surveys and for monitoring personal noise
exposure in accordance with European ISO or USA OSHA, MSHA, DOD AND
ACGIH standards.

The meter is one measurement ranges: 70 – 140dB, A C & Z RMS weightings, A, C
& Z Peak weightings, Fast, Slow & Impulse time weightings, and energy exchange
rates (Q) of 3, 4, 5 & 6. In dose measurement mode, it display % dose, % dose
projected for an 8 hour period, peak level and measurement duration.

For countries that are subject to European Union regulations or the equivalent ISO

Aeq,8hr

standards, the meter measure the daily sound exposure level (L
according to IEC 61252, which is identical with the L

required by ISO 1999),

EX,8h

, Pa2h

while for USA OSHA/MSHA regulations they measure the Time Weighted Average
level (TWA).

When used as a sound level meter it display sound level, time-averaged (L

5-2 The Windscreen and Microphone

During use, it is essential that the meter is fitted with the Windscreen. The
Windscreen protects the microphone from potential erroneous results due to air
movement passing over it but also helps to protect from dust ingress, moisture or
minor impact damage.

To calibrate the meter it is necessary to remove the Windscreen to expose the
microphone. To unscrew the Windscreen by turning the black ring (not the foam!)
in a anticlockwise direction.

It will not normally be necessary to remove the Microphone but to do so unscrew
anticlockwise direction. When refitting the Microphone, screw the Microphone on
clockwise until it fits tightly.

Following calibration refit the Windscreen, screw the Windscreen in a clockwise
and take care do not over tighten; finger tight is sufficient.

Upon delivery, the meter will be fitted with the Crocodile-style mounting clips on
flexible webbing to aid positioning as they can be fitted to virtually any clothing
type. The mounting clip is used for attaching the meter to clothing and should be
used where piercing the employees clothing is not desired.

The recommended location for mounting a personal noise exposure meter in a
position close to the ear (10 – 15 cm). The meter should therefore be mounted on
the apex of the shoulder to avoid reflections from the head which might otherwise
affect the measurements. Consult your local Legislation and Standards for more
information.

All mounting clips are attached the meter by two screws. By removing the screws
with the screwdriver the mounting clips can be changed.

6-3 Battery

The meter battery care best practices.

The meter incorporates a Lithium Polymer battery as a power source that with
proper care should give years of operational service. (Three years is typical)

Proper care includes these best practices.

● After use, it is best to charge the meter using the recommended charger prior
to storage for a prolonged period. A prolonged period is considered to be 2 or
more months. If the meter is to be stored for an even longer period, it is best
to take the meter out of storage and re-charge the meter every 2 – 3 months.

● Charge the meter in the recommended charger before attempting to turn it on
if the meter has not been used for a prolonged period or was stored in a low
battery condition.

● It is best not to store the meter for any period of time in low battery condition.

● If not using the meter it is best to keep the meter in a powered up the

recommended charger.

7-2 Calibrating the Meter

It is best practice (and often mandatory) to field calibrate each meter both before
and after use. Which will also allow the target calibration level to be set as shown
on the calibrator’s own calibration certificate, nominally 94.0dB, 114.0dB or OFF
selecting by PC.

Note: The meter will not enter the calibration mode if a measurement run is taking

place. If a run is in progress, stop the run according to section 7-5.
The windscreen should be removed prior to calibration. Please refer to section 5-2.
Push the sound calibrator over the microphone as shown. The calibrator should be

pushed on without twisting until fully home and switched on.
