The Edge Model
The Edge Model
The “eg4” model features two virtual dosimeters with data logging. Once the parameters are set and saved in the dosimeter, you can monitor two different dosimeters by a single press of the Enter key. This will toggle you between the two dosimeters. The “eg3” model is equipped with one dosimeter setting and will not data log (older model no longer available).

Virtual dosimeters
You can monitor and log noise studies by enabling two different parameter settings in one dosimeter, also referred to as “virtual dosimeters”. For instance, you may want to set one dosimeter to log using the OSHA HC (Occupational Safety and Health Administration - Hearing Conversation) parameters and also monitor noise with the OSHA PEL (Occupational Safety and Health Administration – Permissible Exposure Level) settings.
A few scenarios of virtual dosimeters include:
•Industrial noise control
•Hearing conservation compliance
•Work site assessments
•Personal noise verification
•Military applications
•Regulatory compliance (i.e., OSHA, MSHA, IEC, ACGIH)
