Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document introduces the dBadge2, a personal noise dosimeter designed for occupational noise exposure measurement. It emphasizes the importance of managing noise exposure to prevent noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) in industries such as mining, construction, and manufacturing.
Specifications and Standards
The dBadge2 adheres to international standards like US CFR 1910.95, ISO9612:2009, and UK Guidance L108. It provides various noise exposure metrics to comply with different regulations.
Key Features
The device features Bluetooth 4.0 connectivity, a full-color display, a motion sensor, and optional audio recording and octave band frequency analysis. It supports multiple simulated dosimeters for regional protocols and offers comprehensive data for analysis.
Applications
The dBadge2 is suitable for full shift exposure measurements, task-based measurements, and noise source identification. It assists in selecting appropriate hearing protection and ensures compliance with noise exposure standards.
Connectivity and Data Management
Bluetooth connectivity allows remote monitoring and control via the Airwave App, enhancing productivity and minimizing worker disturbance. Data can be downloaded and analyzed using Casella Insight software, with options for custom configuration and report generation.
Additional Features
The device includes a motion sensor for valid measurements, and the Pro model offers real-time octave band frequency analysis. A docking station facilitates data transfer and battery charging.
Technical Specifications
Detailed specifications include operating ranges, frequency and time weightings, exchange rates, and environmental conditions. The device has robust battery life and storage capacity for extensive data collection and analysis.
Specifications
- PC Interface: USB 2.0 via Docking Station.
- Dimensions: 85L x 54W x 55H mm.
- Weight: 117g.
- Environmental Rating: IP65.
- Construction Materials: Various including PC/ABS and silicone.
Stored Data Sets
The dBadge2 records all noise data for each measurement run, viewable via Casella Insight. Dosimeter Setups D1, D2, and D3 define displayed parameters, with all values stored for download. Parameters include LAvg, TWA (8hr), Dose%, and more.
Audio Recording
Available in Plus and Pro Models, with an 8kHz sampling rate in 16-bit compressed .WAV format. Each audio event records for 10 seconds with a 3-second pre-trigger buffer.
Additional Features
Optional 15-second audio notes per measurement run, nine octave bands analysis (Pro Model), Bluetooth 4.0 connectivity, and a full-color OLED display with adjustable contrast.
Conclusion
The dBadge2 is an advanced tool for workplace noise assessments, offering enhanced connectivity, data management, and compliance with international standards, designed to improve noise exposure monitoring and contribute to effective hearing conservation strategies.

Multiple Simulated Dosimeters We’d like the capability to monitor the device remotely without the need to interfere with or disturb the worker. Get Connected! Getting workers to participate in your survey may already be a challenge so the addition of Bluetooth® 4.0 wireless connectivity with the supporting Airwave App allows you to remotely start, stop or pause a measurement run, monitor battery life and memory capacity, check measurement progress and alarms without having to disturb the worker who may be involved in a critical task or be otherwise inaccessible! Being able to see results in this...

Motion Sensing • Built-in motion sensor • Motion index expressed in % of time • Increases confidence in measurements Worker engagement in the survey is essential to a successful outcome but in extreme cases a worker may remove the dBadge2 without your knowledge rendering the results invalid. A built-in motion sensor expresses the worker’s movement as a percentage of time motion has been detected during a measurement run. Armed with this data you can choose to accept or reject the measurement run. Audio Recording Plus & Pro models Available on Plus and Pro models and enabled/disabled in the dBadge2...
