Overview of running a study

Positioning the Edge on your shirt

Depending on what accessories you ordered with the Edge, you may have either clips on the top and bottom of the dosimeter or some other type of mounting device. (Please refer to Appendix A, “Contacting 3M Quest”, page 59).

How to attach the dosimeter

1.Clip the dosimeter on your shirt and ensure the microphone is positioned as high on your shoulder as possible and away from your neck.

a.If the noise seems to come from one direction, place it on the shoulder and near the noise source.

b.During monitoring, keep clothing from coming into contact with the windscreen to avoid contaminating your results.

Positioning

Figure 4-2: Positioning/Attaching the Edge

Before measuring, ensure the windscreen is free from any accumulated dirt. If you ordered a kit (as explained in Chapter 2), there are replacement windscreens in the carrying case for your convenience. Please refer to Figure 6-1, on page 50 for details on replacing the windscreen.
