Step 3 Press the rto enter the “Excd Settings”
menu.
This menu lets you to set an exceed-
ance threshold level. When the 824
measures a level that surpasses the
established threshold level, it will log
the exceedance history. Included
with the exceedance history is Leq,
SEL, Lmax, Peak, a graph of the Leq
during the event, and the time, date,
and duration of the exceedance. The
824 can trigger off of an SPL (rms)
level or a Peak level. A common set-
ting is to establish the “SPL Excd
Lvl 1” parameter to act as the trigger
level. We will do that in this exercise,
setting the value to 85 dB.

ing”, then press the c.
Step 5 Press u or dto highlight “SPL Excd Lvl 1”

field.
The u and d arrow keys increment through the
SPL exceedance level values, while l and r tog-
gles between the different numeric fields.
