The CEL-350 dBadge is a unique solution to problems associated with the measurement of personal noise exposure. Using the latest digital technology ensures reliable and repeatable measurements. The CEL-350 dBadge has no cable like a traditional dosimeter, so is far easier to fit to an employee and is less likely to interfere with the individuals work.
The CEL-350 dBadge is very simple operate with just 2 keys, and can be locked to prevent tampering. After a measurement has been completed the noise badge can be downloaded via it's infrared port to the Casella Insight PC software. This will allow comprehensive analysis of an employee's exposure.
For information about the OSHA hearing conservation action levels, visit the OSHA Dosimeter Settings Webpage.
The CEL-350 is designed to satisfy all current workplace noise protocal methods for the collection of personal noise data. Careful attention to the requirements of both US and European noise dosimetry methodologies provides for the simultaneous storage of noise levels in such a way that the dose values can be obtained with both the widely used exchange rates (or Q factor) using the 3 and 5 dB doubling rates.
Measurements
The CEL 350's have pre-programmed settings for ISO and OSHA. The Casella Insight software allows you to change the governing body even after the data has been collected. You can also enter your own custom settings.
