Larson Davis System 824 User Manual

5-4 824 Reference Manual 9/12/00
With this instrument the SLM and RTA functions are operat-
ing simultaneously. The primary indicator range of the SLM
function is 80 dBA, sufficient for most applications.
In operation, the instrument measures four sets of frequency
spectra; the running instantaneous spectrum, the L
eq
spec-
trum, the spectrum associated with the maximum SPL level
that occurred during the measurement and the minimum bin
by bin spectrum. It also gives you a time history record and
Ln centiles. The time history record stores up to 38 parame-
ters of your choice, including RTA Leq, RTA Max, or RTA
Min, which is determined by the Time History setup under
the settings menu.
SSA Measuring Ranges
By using a 24-bit DSP processor, the digital filters of the
System 824 meets the specifications of IEC 61260 - Class 1
and ANSI S1.11-1986 Type 1-D over a linearity range
exceeding 80 dB. The dynamic range of the analysis func-
tion, from noise floor to overload, is 85 dB (typical). Eight
ranges are available, providing gain to +50 dB and attenua-
tion to -20 dB in 10 dB steps.
The following presents the SPL, Peak Detectors and 1/3
Octave Filter Measuring Ranges for the SSA instrument:
A-weighting, C-weighting, and Flat are measured to
ANSI S1.4 and IEC 60651 standards for SLM linearity.
1/3 octave filters listed are measured to the IEC 61260
standard for Class 0 linearity which is ±0.3 dB. The num-
bers in the table represent SPL levels with a typical 2541
microphone which has 44.1 mV/Pa sensitivity.
