eg5 Overview
The “eg5” model is an intrinsically safe instrument featuring simultaneous C and A weighted measurements.
The instrument will also calculate C-A. The “eg5” 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 button. This will toggle you between the two dosimeters.

NOTE on Edge 5-bay charger: If you are using a 5-bay charger, you may have various models docked
at once as indicated in Figure 1-3. The models selectable in the 5-bay charger section is dependent on if
you selected the eg3 & eg4 or eg5 models. DMS will display a green circle with a checkmark indicating a
docked, powered on Edge with the serial name. DMS will also display a checkbox in front of applicable
models that are selectable for setup parameters. (See Customizing set-up parameters” for more details.)
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, and military applications.
