Octave Band Centre Frequencies

: 31.5 Hz to 8 kHz

1/3-octave Band Centre Frequencies

: 25 Hz to 10 kHz

Frequency Weighting

Lin and A-weighted total results are based on weighted summation of spectral bands in the frequency range 22 Hz - 11.3 kHz. Frequency bands can be manually excluded from calculation.

Pressure-residual Intensity Index

The minimum Pressure-residual Intensity Index (the 'Processor' in IEC 61043), measured with pink noise at a band-filtered level of 114 dB in the 143 dB Full scale range is given below

Minimum Pressure-residual Intensity Index for the Analyser

Enhanced Phase Matching

The phase match of the sound intensity system can be enhanced in the frequency range 31.5 Hz - 500 Hz using a Sound Intensity Calibrator Type 3451. This can increase the Pressure residual intensity index for the sound intensity system up to 10 dB, depending on frequency.

High Frequency Compensation

Selectable high frequency compensation for the 1/2" microphone and 12 mm spacer combination. The Mean pressure and the Sound intensity spectrum can then be measured at frequencies up to 10 kHz (one octave higher than the normal theoretical limit).

Detectors

Linear integration: 1 s to 59 min. 59 s in 1 s steps

Resolution

Discrete Parameters: 0.1 dB

Overload Indication

Latching overload indicators are displayed on all measuring screens. An overload percentage is measured and attached to all measurements.

Auto range

Manual and automatic range control are provided

Spacer Settings

Spacer Length: 6 - 200 mm in 0.5 mm steps

Measuring Range

Mean Pressure: Full Scale is the maximum level of a sinusoidal input signal (Crest Factor 1.4) that does not give overload.
Upper Limit is the maximum pressure level for each band that does not give overload with a pink noise input signal. Pink noise has a Crest Factor of 4 and is band-limited from 20 Hz to 20 kHz
Lower Limit is the input level that gives the stated error in the measured value for the worst-case filter band. For other filter bands the limit will be lower 7 ranges giving:

Octave Bands

Full Scale	Upper Limit Pink Noise	Lower Limit Error +0.3 dB	Lower Limit Error +1 dB	Lower Limit Error +3 dB
143 dB	121 dB	< 29.7 dB	< 24.1 dB	< 18.2 dB

1/3-octave Bands

Full Scale	Upper Limit Pink Noise	Lower Limit Error +0.3 dB	Lower Limit Error +1 dB	Lower Limit Error +3 dB
143 dB	116 dB	< 25.0 dB	< 19.4 dB	< 13.5 dB

Individual channel pressure: When the 2260 is used as a dual-channel analyser the inherent noise in each channel is 3 dB higher than when measuring Mean pressure. Therefore, add 3 dB to the Lower limit figures stated for Mean pressure to get the Lower limit for individual channels.

Ambient Conditions Settings

Temperature
Static Pressure

Calibration

External (acoustic): Individual (Pressure) gain calibration of the two input channels can be performed using Sound Intensity Calibrator Type 3541, Sound Intensity Calibrator Type 4297, Sound Level Calibrator Type 4231 with Coupler DP 0888 or an unknown calibrator.
A Preamplifier gain can be set.
Internal: Using internally generated electrical signal combined with keyed-in value of the microphone's open circuit sensitivity.
A Preamplifier gain can be set.
Phase Calibration: The phase difference between the two channels in the frequency range 31.5-500 Hz can be calibrated to a minimum using Sound Intensity Calibrator Type 3541

Verification

Verification of the Pressure-residual intensity index can be made using Sound Intensity Calibrator Type 3541. Pressure-residual intensity index is stored with the calibration and in the measurement job for documentation purposes.
Measurements are automatically compensated for keyed-in changes in temperature and ambient pressure.

Field Check

A field check of the intensity measured with the probe in normal and reversed position can be performed.

Internal Generator

Pseudo-random white noise generator

Modes

The four main modes are:
System: Used to install software, change application, set the internal clock, copy files, etc.
Set-up: Used to set up measurement and control parameters Calibrate: Used when calibrating the analyser
Measurement: Used to view current and recalled measurements

Measurements

For Sound Power and Sound Reduction Applications: Simultaneous measurement of Mean pressure and Intensity
For General Dual-channel Applications: Choose between simultaneous measurement of: Mean pressure and Intensity, Mean pressure and Reactive intensity, Mean pressure and Particle velocity, Particle velocity and Intensity, pressure Ch. 1 and Real part of cross spectrum, or Pressure Ch. 1 and Pressure Ch. 2

Measurement Control

Manual or semi-automatic. Measurements are started manually and the user is guided through the different scanning for each segment (according to the selected standard). After storing the scans for one segment, the analyser is automatically ready to make measurements for the next segment. 16 different measurement sequences are available.

Pause/Continue

A measurement can be paused or continued

Pause/Back Erase

It is possible to erase backwards to the last pause or to the start of the last scan

Surface Definition

• One or more surfaces can be defined.
• A surface consists of a number of segments and/or other surfaces.
• A segment contains one measurement.
• Surfaces can be defined as segments organised in a grid, in a box with five grids, in a hemisphere or in a cylinder.
• Surfaces can be defined as a number of rows and columns of segments with dimensions set for each segment or for the total surface.
• Dimensions of a segment can be defined as height and width or as an area.
• Definitions of surfaces and segments can be modified at any time (before, during or after a measurement).
• Measurements can be stored within defined segments, or in empty grids until segments and surfaces for the measurements are defined later.
• Measurements can be stored in previously measured segments, overwriting existing data (a warning is issued).
• Set-ups and measurements for a given measurement session are stored in a job.
• Jobs, surfaces and segments can be deleted.
• The content of a segment can be copied to other positions.
• A job can contain up to 20 surfaces with up to 150 segments per surface (95 segments per surface for ANSI S12.12 jobs).
• For ANSI S12.12 jobs only: It is possible to divide a segment into halves and re-use measurements that have been made for the segment.

Calculations

Calculations of sound power can be done on each segment or surface in conformance with BS EN ISO 9614-2, ECMA-160 and ANSI S12.12 standards, or for non-standard measurements.
Calculations of corrected intensity sound reduction index (RI,c or RI45°,c) and weighted corrected intensity sound reduction index (RI,cw or RI45°,cw) can be done on each segment or surface in conformance with ISO/DIS 15186-1 and BS ISO 717-1.
Frequency bands, segments or surfaces can be manually included in or excluded from calculations.
The following status information is available for each frequency band, segment or surface: Data excluded, Dynamic capability failed, Repeatability failed, Convergence Index failed, Extraneous noise too high, Scan time too short, Area not defined, Missing data in segment, Overload, Copied data, A-weighted total level contains high levels in bands outside standard-defined frequency range.
