TSI Casella dBadge2 personal noise dosimeter

Next-Generation Personal Noise Exposure Measurement with Standard, Plus, and Pro Models

The dBadge2 is a professional personal noise dosimeter designed to capture the most comprehensive noise exposure data possible in a single shift. Its compact, shoulder-mounted construction helps field teams manage measurements with minimal intervention via Bluetooth® Airwave remote monitoring, 1-second time history, motion sensing, and a D1/D2/D3 multiple virtual dosimeter approach.

Product Specifications

  • Single measurement, comprehensive dataset: simultaneously calculates and logs supported noise dose and exposure parameters; D1/D2/D3 profiles can be used to compare different standards or organisational criteria over the same shift.

  • Bluetooth® Airwave: monitor measurement status, battery, and key exposure data from a mobile device without disturbing the worker; start, pause, and stop remotely in suitable configurations.

  • 1-second time-history and motion sensing: generates data that aids in evaluating task changes, abnormal exposures, and whether the instrument remained on the worker.

  • IEC 61252 and ANSI S1.25: Standards compliance for professional personal noise dosimetry applications; flexible dosimetry logic supporting configuration for different measurement approaches such as ISO 9612, OSHA, and ACGIH.

  • IP65 and field-oriented housing: Practical use for industrial fieldwork with a full-colour display, two-button operation, windshield, and dual-clip shoulder mount.

  • Potentially explosive atmosphere options: Suitably marked Intrinsically Safe variants of the dBadge2 family are offered for specific applications requiring ATEX/IECEx; the variant and certification to be used must be verified on a project basis.

    İSGÜM / TS EN ISO 9612 ApproachIn personal exposure measurement, a job analysis is performed, an appropriate measurement strategy is selected, measurement is conducted, sources of uncertainty and error are evaluated, and results are calculated and reported.
    Personal Exposure MeasurementİSGÜM specifies that, for comparison with regulatory exposure limit values, rather than ambient noise alone, personal exposure measurement must be carried out. The dBadge2 is a personal noise dosimeter designed to be worn at shoulder level, close to the ear.
    Measurement Parameters for ISO 9612The dBadge2 logs LAeq, LEX,8h/LEPd, LCpeak, dose, and relevant A/C/Z-weighted values in the same measurement run. For D1, the ISO 9612 LEQ,C85 approach can be used; D2 and D3 can be allocated for simultaneous comparison against different institutional or international criteria.
    Calibration and Field CheckThe instrument can automatically detect a 1 kHz acoustic calibration signal. Pre- and post-measurement field verification must be performed using an appropriate acoustic calibrator and a valid calibration procedure.
    Raw Data and Time HistoryİSGÜM authorisation information specifies that raw data logged on the instrument must be retrievable and retainable. The dBadge2 can store approximately 300 hours of run data, including 1-second time profiles, in its internal memory and transfer it to software via the docking station.
    Exposure Values in TurkeyUnder the Regulation on the Protection of Employees from Risks Related to Noise, levels of 80 / 85 / 87 dB(A) for LEX,8h and 135 / 137 / 140 dB(C) for peak value are evaluated as lower exposure action, upper exposure action, and exposure limit values, respectively. The dBadge2 logs the LEX,8h and LCpeak parameters used in this evaluation.

    Measurement and Standards Approach

    The TSI Casella dBadge2 is a professional measurement platform meeting the IEC 61252 Ed. 1.1 and ANSI S1.25:1991 R2007 instrument standards for personal noise dosimeters. Used in Turkey for evaluating personal noise exposure, TS EN ISO 9612 is not an instrument certification, but a methodology standard defining the measurement strategy and field practice. With its personal dosimeter design worn close to the worker's shoulder/hearing zone, LEX,8h/LEPd, LAeq, LCpeak, dose, 1-second time history, D1/D2/D3 virtual dosimeters, acoustic calibration workflow, and raw data storage capabilities, the dBadge2 is suitable for use in personal exposure measurements required by this method.

    Frequently Asked Questions About TSI Casella dBadge2

    In how many different models is the dBadge2 offered?
    The dBadge2 family consists of three main models: Standard, Plus, and Pro. The Plus model features audio notes and event audio recording, while the Pro model additionally includes real-time octave band analysis. Suitable I.S. variants are also available.
    Under which measurement standards can the dBadge2 be used?
    Compliance with IEC 61252 and ANSI S1.25 is specified in the manufacturer's technical documentation. The instrument's multiple virtual dosimeter architecture can be configured for different dosimetry protocols, including ISO 9612, OSHA, and ACGIH.
    Can measurements be monitored without interrupting the worker?
    Via Bluetooth Low Energy and the Airwave application, measurement status and key data can be tracked from a mobile device. This approach helps reduce unnecessary interference with the worker during measurement.
