INTRODUCTION
The QUEST M-27 Noise Logging Dosimeter is a microcomputer-based sound analyzing
instrument for accumulating, displaying, and sending data to serial or parallel printers or computers. The
M-27 functions as a personal noise dosimeter, an area monitor or as a survey events monitor (see Figure 1).
Personal Noise Dosimeter:
Accumulates noise data for OSHA hearing conservation, OSHA
engineering controls, and equal energy noise dosimetry. Accumulates peak and maximum levels.
Accumulates 1-minute histograms and 1 dB statistical distributions. Is housed in a secure dust-
proof case. May be clipped on belt or shirt pocket.
Area Monitor:
Accumulates 40 hours of 1-minute histograms and statistical
distributions. May be tripod-mounted.
