Exposure Display-a The Exposure-a display consists of seven major
components:
• Display label
• Dose
• Projected dose
• Time Weighted Average
• Sound Exposure Level
• Elapsed Time
The Exposure-a display is shown below:
The following explains each of the display’s components:
Display label - This shows the current display (for example,
“SLM Exposure-a”).
Dose - By definition, a person receives 100% dose when
exposed to a noise having a TWA equal to the selected
criterion level for a time equal to the criterion time (usually
eight hours). This corresponds to the maximum safe noise
exposure. Exposures at higher levels will result in a 100%
dose in less time; or if exposure continues, the exposure will
exceed 100% dose.
Projected dose - Projected dose is the dose that will occur if
current noise levels continue for the entire criterion time.
