Casella CEL CEL-62X - Manual (Page 22)

Casella CEL Limited 22
Note: As the CEL62X is a single range instrument capable of reading to zero dB, and
the only non linearity error will be due to self generated noise, then there is no under-
range indicator.

High Level Sound (Overload).
When a sound level is detected that is above the linear operating range, the display
will indicate overload by a red upward facing arrow at the top of the display.
If the CEL-62X is not completing a measurement run then the overload indication will
automatically reset approximately 2 seconds after the sound level is reduced to
below overload.
If the CEL-62X is completing a measurement run then the overload indication will
remain, even if the overload sound level is reduced, until the measurement run is
terminated manually or by the timer. If the data collected during the run is viewed on
the CEL-62X, or downloaded to a PC, then an overload will be reported in the data.
Refer to sections F,H & J to set run durations, memory results and run screens.
