The NoiseBadge Intrinsically Safe Noise Dosimeter is a durable, shoulder-mounted personal noise dosimeter designed for monitoring an individual’s daily noise exposure in hazardous or potentially explosive environments. Fully compliant with IEC 61252:1993 and ANSI S1.25:1991, the NoiseBadge captures all essential occupational noise parameters, including LAeq, LEP,d (LEX,8h), LCPeak, TWA and % Dose over a full working day. With no buttons, screens or cables, it cannot be adjusted or tampered with during use, ensuring reliable and accurate measurements.
Intrinsic safety for hazardous environments
Certified to UKEX, ATEX, EEx, FM and SIMTARS intrinsic safety standards, the Intrinsically Safe NoiseBadge is approved for use in environments where there is a risk of combustion from gases, vapours or dusts. It is suitable for hazardous settings such as mining operations, oil and gas facilities, petrochemical processing plants and workplaces where fine powders may be present.
Only the NoiseBadge Intrinsically Safe Noise Dosimeter and its approved shoulder-mounting accessories are certified for use inside potentially explosive atmospheres. The Reader Unit, Charger and all other accessories are not intrinsically safe and must not be used in a hazardous area. All processes, including charging, calibrating, configuring and downloading, must be carried out in a safe location outside the hazardous zone.
Suitable for occupational noise exposure assessments worldwide
The Intrinsically Safe NoiseBadge is ideal for monitoring an individual’s noise exposure throughout the day, particularly where employees move between different tasks or locations. It covers a dynamic measurement range of 70 dB(A) to 130 dB(A) and is suitable for occupational noise assessments across a wide range of industries, including construction, demolition and heavy manufacturing.
To meet regulations worldwide, the NoiseBadge supports exchange rates of 3 dB, 4 dB, or 5 dB. It measures on two channels simultaneously, with channel 1 configurable and channel 2 fixed to ISO’s 3 dB measurements, allowing compliance with different international noise regulations in a single measurement.
Built for durability and daily use
Constructed with a robust metal casing, the Intrinsically Safe NoiseBadge meets the demands of environments where it is prone to frequent knocks or drops. Its lightweight, cable-free design makes it comfortable to wear on the shoulder using the provided leather mounting strap, and with a rechargeable battery providing up to 20 hours of operation, the NoiseBadge can run for a full shift.
Fast setup and data download with the Reader Unit
The Intrinsically Safe NoiseBadge requires a Reader Unit for configuration, calibration and data download. All settings are controlled through the Reader rather than on the dosimeter itself, meaning the badges remain tamper-proof while in use. The Reader allows multiple NoiseBadges to be activated at the start of a shift and stopped again at the end. Measurements can also be viewed directly on the Reader’s clear backlit LCD display before downloading to AnalyzerPlus.
Straightforward reporting with AnalyzerPlus
Once data is downloaded via the Reader Unit, measurements can be viewed, analysed and reported on using our licence-free AnalyzerPlus software. Time History data shows how exposure changes throughout the day, helping you identify high-risk activities or noise sources.
