The Nor150 sound and vibration analyser is supplied with ½” preamplifier Nor1209 and the ½” measurement microphone Nor1225.
It conforms to the latest revision of the following National and International standard including amendments, all type 1 / class 1; IEC 61672, IEC 60651, IEC 60804, IEC 61260, DIN 45657, ANSI S1.4, ANSI S1.11, and ANSI S1.43.
Measured parameters
Simultaneous measurement of SPL, Leq, LeqI, LMax, LMin, LE, LEI, LPeak, Ln and Tmax5.
Time weighting functions: Fast, Slow and Impulse (Simultaneous).
Spectral weighting functions: A, C and Z – weighting (Simultaneous).
Frequency analysis: 1/1 and 1/3 octave real time filters from 0,4 Hz to 20 kHz.
Statistical calculations: 8 individual adjustable percentiles from L0,1% to L99,9%, The statistical calculations are performed in real time within each frequency band and for each profile period if period length is set longer than 2 minutes. User can select between Fast or Slow time weighting as basis for the statistical calculation.
Measurement control
Overall measurement duration: 1 sec – 7 days. (If set to Repeat or Synchro mode a new measurement will be started automatically, with no time gap between each measurement.).
Time profile A resolution: 5 ms – 24 hours including full frequency spectra. From 1 sec if profile B or Moving is enabled.
Time profile B and Moving resolution: 1s – 24 hours. A, C and Z – no frequency spectra.
Back erase in Pause mode: 0-20 sec free selectable graphical back erase.
Audio recording
12 and 48 kHz sampling rate / 8 , 16 and 24 bits / 0-120 sec pre-trigger.
Measurement range
One range covering 120dB without any range adjustments.
