Sound Exposure
The System 824 lets you set the criteria level and criterion
time for Dosimetry measurements. A 100% dose occurs if a
person is exposed to a constant sound field with a SPL equal
to the criterion level, for the criterion time or full dose hours.
The criterion level setting can take on any integer value
within the following range:
0 to 255 dB
Exposures at higher sound exposure levels than the overall
criterion level will result in a 100% dose in less time; or, if
exposure continues, the overall dose will exceed 100%.
The following are examples of the System 824 Sound
