Preface
Guidelines for Safe & Efficient Use
Please read all sections of this manual before attempting to use the
instrument.
Warnings
This symbol is used throughout the manual to indicate that special
attention should be taken and any instructions followed carefully.
Information covered in these sections relates to operations that are vital to
the efficient use of the instrument.
What’s new in the MODEL 22 doseBadge and MODEL 22R Reader Unit
This User Manual refers to the MODEL 22 doseBadge Personal Noise Dosemeter and the
MODEL 22R Reader Unit.
Please note that this manual does not refer to any previous version of the doseBadge
Personal Noise Dosemeter. For operating instructions and user manuals for any
previous version or variant, please contact Pulsar Instruments Plc or your local
representative.
There are several major technical differences between the MODEL 22
doseBadge and the previous versions. Please ensure that all sections of
this manual have been read before using the equipment.
For users who have previous experience of the doseBadge, the following information is
essential and should be read carefully before use.
In particular, reference should be made to the following sections:
Charging the doseBadge Page 15
“Shake-to-Wake” function Page 22
Configuring the doseBadge Page 18
Measurement Data Page 42
doseBadge Configuration
The MODEL 22 doseBadge can be configured to meet the requirements of
many different Occupational Noise and Industrial Hygiene Regulations and
Guidelines.
Please ensure that the MODEL 22R Reader Unit is configured for the correct functions
and parameters before making measurements with the doseBadge.
The dBLink3 software can be used to configure the doseBadge and Reader unit to meet
these requirements. Please refer to the dBLink3 software for further information.
Model 22 doseBadge User Manual

doseBadge Battery Performance
The NiMH rechargeable battery within the MODEL 22 doseBadge is
designed to be recharged using the supplied battery chargers. Do not
attempt to charge the doseBadge battery by any other means.
Before the first use
Before the doseBadges are used for the first time ensure that the units are
allowed to fully charge which may take up to 12 hours.
Recharging the battery
Ensure that the instructions detailed in this manual are followed carefully
when charging the doseBadge units. To ensure optimum operation, the
doseBadge must be left on trickle charge when not in use.
Storage of the doseBadge
The doseBadge should be stored in a fully charged state. If the MODEL 22
doseBadge is not used for 1 hour, it will shut down and go into sleep mode.
To wake the doseBadge from the Sleep mode, shake the doseBadge until the indicator
light shows. Refer to “Shake-to-Wake” function on Page 22 for detailed information
about this function.
The “Shake to Wake” function has been added to the MODEL 22 doseBadge to ensure
that a doseBadge that is not in use powers down to the minimum possible power
consumption.
This low current consumption merely powers the real time clock in the doseBadge.
Previous versions of the doseBadge had higher power consumption due to the “always
alert” infra-red circuitry and therefore it was recommended that the doseBadge was
stored on the charger in trickle charge mode when not in use.
This is no longer necessary with the MODEL 22 and will prevent mains power failures
from resetting the charger to discharge/charge mode.
The MODEL 22 can now be removed from the Charger and kept for future use. The
charge will not reduce significantly for many weeks. Only if the doseBadge has not been
used for over one month is a full recharge recommended.
Please note that the CHR22 Charging Unit has a different charging cycle to the previous
CHR20- unit. Please refer to the instructions covering charging before using the
equipment.
Model 22 doseBadge User Manual
Page 7
Battery Operating Life
The doseBadge system should be returned to Pulsar Instruments Plc for
calibration and servicing. During this calibration and service, the
performance of the internal battery will be verified.
Please note that switching power off and on to a Charger unit will restart the charging
process. This will not damage the doseBadge but a doseBadge removed from a Charger
with the green LED flashing will have an unknown charge state.
Installing the doseBadge Software
The doseBadge system is supplied with dBLink3 Download software.
dBLink3 is a program that allows measurements to be downloaded from the MODEL 22R
Reader unit to a PC. The dBLink3 software automatically recognises a MODEL 22R
Reader unit and allows measurements to be downloaded.
dBLink3 is supplied on a CD-ROM and requires a PC running Microsoft
Windows95 or later. Install the software before connecting the doseBadge
Reader Unit to the PC.
To install the software:
1. Insert the Disc in the CD-ROM drive
2. Follow the instructions on the screen
If the installation program does not automatically start, run d:\setup.exe program from
the Start, Run option in the task bar where d is the letter of the CD-ROM drive.
Please note that if you are running on a network, you may need to contact
your network administrator to ensure that you have sufficient access rights
to install this software. This software should be installed with full
administration rights to ensure that the configuration of the software can
be completed.
Pulsar Instruments Plc accepts no responsibility for the installation of this software on
systems where full access rights are not available.

Section 1 Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the doseBadge Personal Noise Dosemeter System from Pulsar
Instruments Plc.
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.
Measurements are downloaded from the doseBadge to a Reader unit via an infra-red
link which removes the need for keys or controls on the instrument.
This version of the doseBadge, the MODEL 22 and the MODEL 22R Reader Unit, provide
a range of configuration options which allow the system to be used to measure and
record noise levels to most Occupational Noise and Industrial Hygiene Regulations.
A system can be started with a single doseBadge and a Reader unit, and expanded by
purchasing additional doseBadges and the appropriate number of charging units. A
range of additional external charging units allow a system to be expanded simply and
easily without any of the components becoming obsolete.
This manual describes the operation of the MODEL 22 doseBadge unit and MODEL 22R
doseBadge Reader.
Also described is the optional RK1 Keyfob Remote Control. The Keyfob allows the
doseBadge to be started and stopped without the MODEL 22R unit and should be
ordered separately.
Please note that the MODEL 22R Reader unit supports all previous versions of the
doseBadge Personal Noise Dosemeter. However some features and functions may not
be available when using the MODEL 22R Reader with previous versions (Model 20,
Model 20-TH and Model 22TH) of the doseBadge.
Please refer to “Checking the Configuration” on page 18 and “Configuration of the
Measurement Parameters” on page 37 for more information. Also refer to Section 7
“Troubleshooting” on page 50.
Model 22 doseBadge User Manual

How the doseBadge works
The doseBadge is controlled by the Reader unit through an infrared link. The link
between the doseBadge and the Reader is used to send information in a similar way to
a television remote control.
Each doseBadge contains a rechargeable battery which powers the unit throughout the
measurement period. Each charge of the battery is designed for one measurement.
The battery contains sufficient power to carry out a single measurement for over 20
hours although the doseBadge will run for much longer provided the battery is fully
charged.
doseBadge System Configuration
The doseBadge system can be configured in different ways to suit the requirements of
different markets and measurements standards.
The different configuration options and possible settings are listed as follows:

All of these configuration options can be selected from the MODEL 22R Reader Unit. In
addition, the dBLink software allows user defined configurations to be loaded into the
Reader Unit.
Please note that although the MODEL 22R Reader unit can be used to control
the previous versions doseBadges, if the user attempts to program an older
doseBadge with a configuration that is not supported, an error message will be
displayed when the doseBadge is reset or data is read from the doseBadge.

The doseBadge is controlled via
an InfraRed link to the Reader
unit. Behind the InfraRed window
are the transmitter and receiver
for communication with the
Reader.
The charging point for the
doseBadge is on the bottom in
the centre and this is also used
for the mounting of the
doseBadge.
RK1 Keyfob Remote Control
The RK1 Keyfob Remote Control is designed to start and stop the doseBadge.
The Start and Stop buttons are used to send commands to the doseBadge. When the
Start or Stop buttons are pressed, the Status Indicator will light to show that the
button has been pressed.
The Infrared signal is sent from the transmitter on the front of the Keyfob. Ensure that
this transmitter is kept clean.

Charging the doseBadges
The Charger Unit has a maximum charge time of 2½ hours. If the doseBadge is not
fully discharged, the charge time will be shorter than this.
It is essential that this procedure is carefully followed otherwise damage will occur to
the doseBadge battery.
Before using the doseBadges for the first time, ensure that the units are allowed to
charge fully. The doseBadges should be regularly recharged to maintain the
performance of the battery pack (inside the doseBadge)
For further information regarding the charging and maintenance of the doseBadge,
please refer to Page 47 “Maintenance & Care”
Connect the CHR22Charger to the PS22 mains power supply and switch on the power
supply.
Ensure the doseBadge is in Stop Mode and carefully screw it onto the "charging stud"
on the CHR22.
Do not over tighten the doseBadge on the Charger. The doseBadge should be screwed
onto the charger until the indicator change status and then one more half turn.
During this discharge period (up to 2 hours) the green indicator should give a "short"
flash (off more than on).
Model 22 doseBadge User Manual
Page 16
During the charge cycle, the green indicator will flash to show that the charging is in
progress.
Once charging has finished, the green indicator stops flashing and remains on
continuously.
At this time the doseBadge is receiving a trickle charge to keep it topped up. To ensure
optimum operation, the doseBadge may be left on trickle charge when not in use.
Summary of Charger Indicators
No Indicator doseBadge Not Connected
Green LED Flashing doseBadge Charging
Green LED On doseBadge Charged
The doseBadge Charger will display errors during charging if, for example, the
