3M Quest Technologies recommends to calibrate your dosimeter before you run your study(ies)
and after your study(ies) to ensure highly accurate measurement results. The steps below
address how to calibrate for either a pre or post calibration.
Calibrating the dosimeter
1. Remove the windscreen from the dosimeter by unscrewing it. (See Figure 6-1 for an
illustration, page 50.)
2. Ensure the Edge is turned on and in the stop mode. (See “Turning on” page 8, and “Turning
Off” page 9).
3. Slide the Edge into the mouth of the calibrator.
NOTE: ensure the adapter ring is inserted into the mouth of the calibrator before you slide the
Edge into the cavity.
4. Turn on the calibrator and ensure parameters are set to 114 dB and 1000 Hz. (See calibration
manual for operation details.)

A shaded bar will appear loading your calibration information. Then a summary calibration
screen will appear indicating the db level with date and time displayed.
