INTRODUCTION

SKC NoiseCHEK Personal Noise Dosimeter Cat. No. 701-001 (Figure 1) measures a worker’s daily noise

exposure in the workplace as required to meet regulations and standards for compliance.

NoiseCHEK has a ½-inch Class 2 microphone and is worn on the apex of the shoulder with the

microphone close to the ear and away from the neck. Clothing clips on each end of the device attach the

dosimeter securely to a worker’s shoulder.

Program up to four virtual dosimeters in the noise dosimeter for simultaneous compliance and monitoring

per OSHA, ACGIH, MSHA, and a User Custom option to meet internal standards that may exceed the

exposure requirements of regulations. Settings are modified/enabled using SKC DataTrac®dB Software

for NoiseCHEK. See Using DataTrac dB Software.

A note about default settings: NoiseCHEK has been shipped with programmed settings for OSHA

compliance and AIHA recommendations listed in the table below.

GETTING STARTED

Charging the Battery

Set up the charging train (Figure 2a or 2b as applicable) and completely charge the battery before

operating the dosimeter. See Determining Battery Charge Status. Note: Cat. Nos. 701-001K3,

701-001K3-C, 701-001K5, and 701-001K5-C feature a carry case with charging cable installed to charge

dosimeters inside the case. See Charging Train in Carry Case with Charging Cable Installed and

Figure 2b.

1. Prepare the charging dock (1-unit Charging Dock Cat. No. 701-002 or 5-unit Charging Dock Cat.

No. 701-003). See Figure 2a.

a. Insert the power supply Cat. No. 220-600 into the power jack on the back of the charging

dock.

b. Plug power supply cube into 100-240 V power supply. The power LED on the back of the

dock will light up blue when connected to the power supply. Note: You can also charge

NoiseCHEK by connecting the charging dock to your PC or a USB battery bank with a

USB cable. Charging time may increase significantly depending on the power available

from the USB port used.

2. Place the NoiseCHEK in the prepared charging dock. Battery charging status

bars will be displayed on the dosimeter screen (see right); five amber LEDs will

blink during charging. Full charge is indicated by five green blinking LEDs.

Note: When the battery is fully charged, LCD (display) will shut down. The green

LEDs will continue blinking while the dosimeter remains in the charging dock.

Interpreting and Navigating Screen Displays

The screen displays are intuitive with messages and selection prompts to guide you through each

operation. Icons at the top right and left corners indicate battery and operation status, activated features,

and alerts (see Status Icons). Note: After approximately 30 seconds of inactivity, the screen will dim

automatically. To undim, press the green button or red button.

Home Screen

When you turn on the noise dosimeter, the Home screen appears

(see right). From the Home screen, calibrate, scroll through virtual

dosimeters, access History and Voice Note, and turn off the device.

Virtual Dosimeter Screens

Each programmed virtual dosimeter has a Home screen with the

following parameters set to the particular standard, e.g., OSHA HC or

PEL, ACGIH, MSHA HC or PEL, or custom:

•Exchange (Exchange rate)

•Threshold

•Criterion (Criterion level)

•Response

•Freq weight (Frequency weight)

Octave bandwidth screens are displayed if enabled in DataTrac dB

Changing Time/Date

Change the time/date when moving between time zones in one of two ways:

1. Connect to the dosimeter(s) via the SKC SmartWave dB mobile app: the time/date will

automatically be adjusted to the time/date on your phone.

2. Use DataTrac dB Software to adjust the time/date and upload the setting from the PC to the

dosimeter(s) (see DataTrac dB Software for NoiseCHEK User Manual).

Recording/Playing a Voice Note

Record a voice note to identify details like the kind of noise being sampled, location of sampling, wearer’s

job description, and other relevant items. You can upload and play a voice note on a PC using DataTrac

dB Software. Only one voice note can be held in NoiseCHEK, and it must be deleted or uploaded to a PC

before another note can be recorded.

Note: Voice Note can be disabled in DataTrac dB software. See DataTrac dB Software for NoiseCHEK

User Manual.

1. From the Home screen, press and hold the Voice button to begin recording a note.

Note: Maximum recording time is approximately 44 seconds.

2. End recording by pressing the Voice button again (otherwise it will be ended

automatically when recording time exceeds maximum limit). See below.

a. To save the recording, select Home (press green button). The white LED

will continue to flash intermittently (when dosimeter is powered on but not

running) to indicate that a recording is present. If you try to record another

note in the meantime, you will see the message that a recording is present.

See Voice Note Status.

b. To delete the recording, select Delete (press red button). Select Yes (press green

button) to confirm; the message that the recording has been deleted will appear. The

white LED will stop flashing. See Voice Note Status.

NoiseCHEK User Manual.

Voice Note Status

Attaching NoiseCHEK on a Worker

Attach the NoiseCHEK to the worker’s shoulder after the unit has been turned on and calibrated and

before the sample run is started.

1. Choose the shoulder facing the highest level or source of noise.

Place the unit on the top of that shoulder with the microphone as high

as possible so it can collect maximum sound. Turn the wearer’s head

toward the dosimeter to make sure the chin does not touch the

dosimeter.

2. Fasten the clothing clips securely to the shirt. See right.

3. During sampling, keep clothing from touching the windscreen to avoid

contaminating results.

Removing/Reinstalling Windscreen

Remove windscreen: Hold the windscreen

collar (with arrow on collar facing you), turn it to

the unlock indicator on the dosimeter. Lift the

windscreen from the microphone.

Reinstall windscreen: Seat the windscreen over the

microphone (with arrow on collar facing you), turn it to

the lock indicator on the dosimeter to secure it. Note:

You should feel/hear a click as it is locked in place.
