Section 1 Introduction
Main Features
Measurement Functions
The measurement functions that can be provided by the MODEL 90 depend upon the options that have been fitted. If the instrument has been fitted with the 1:1 Octave Band or the 1:3 Octave Band filters, these measurements will be available.
Listed below is a summary of the measurements that can be provided by the basic Broadband instrument, and by the addition of the 1:1 Octave Band or the 1:3 Octave Band filters.
If the Auto Repeat function is used, the MODEL 90 can be made to repeat the broadband measurement up to 999 times. See page 21 for details of setting the auto repeat function. The instrument can also be configured to synchronise the measurement start time with the instrument clock. See page 21 for details of the Auto Synchronise function.
Broadband Measurement Mode
In Broadband Mode, the instrument stored the overall values such as L
Aeq
, L
AFmax
and Ln’s as well as storing a noise profile, or Time History, during each measurement. The MODEL 90 instruments can store up to 1,300 Broadband Measurements which can be of any length, up to a maximum of 99 hours per measurement. With each measurement is stored a noise profile which consists of 1 second Leq samples, with up to a maximum of 11 days of Noise Profile being available.

Installing the software
Before measurements can be downloaded from the MODEL 90 instrument, the Analyser software must be installed from the supplied CD.
Please refer to page 50 for further details of the installation of the Analyser software.
Assembly
The MODEL 90 instruments are supplied fully assembled apart from the MV:200 Preamplifier for Class 1 instruments and the batteries.
Preamplifier
The Class 1 versions of the MODEL 90 (MODEL 91, MODEL 93 and MODEL 95) are supplied with a removable preamplifier, the MV:200D. Also, a removable preamplifier may be fitted as an option to the Class 2 instruments.
This preamplifier must be connected to the Sound Level Meter before the unit is switched on. This unit is connected to the top of the MODEL 90 using a locking ring. To connect the MV:200D Preamplifier, follow the diagram below:
(1) Place the preamplifier into the s ocket on the Sound Level Met er (2) Ensure the connector has located into the socket (3) Tighten the Locking Ring.
Do not cross thread the locking ring. Damage caused by misuse is not covered by the warranty for the instrument.
Removing the Preamplifier
Do not twist the preamplifier body. Unscrew the locking ring and pull the

preamplifier from the Sound Level Meter .
Using Microphone Extension Cables
The MODEL 90 instruments can be used with a microphone extension cable if the instrument is fitted with the removable preamplifier. If a microphone extension cable is to be used during a measurement, the instrument must be calibrated with the cable attached.
Connect the microphone extension cable in the same manner as the MV:200C Preamplifier.
Batteries
The batteries of the MODEL 90 are located behind the cover on the bottom of the instrument. Slide the cover to the right hand side to remove and to access the battery holder.
Ensure the instrument is switched off. Remove the battery holder from the instrument and insert the batteries. The MODEL 90 instruments uses two AA type batteries, also known as LR6.
Ensure that the batteries are inserted correctly. DO NOT reverse the polarity of the batteries as this may cause damage to the instrument.
Model 90 Quantifier Sound Level Meter
Page 17
Using an external power supply
The MODEL 90 can be used with an external power supply. When the external supply is connected, the MODEL 90 switches automatically from the internal battery power.
When the external power is either removed or switched off, the instrument will automatically switch back to the internal battery supply.
When an external supply is connected, the display of the instrument will show a symbol in the top right corner as shown below.
Windshield
The MODEL 90 Series can be used with a 90mm Foam Windshield which will reduce the noise levels generated by air turbulence over the microphone capsule.
The windshield can also be used to protect the microphone capsule of the Sound Level Meter from dust and fluids which may affect the performance of the instrument. To use the Windshield, push the hole in the windshield over the microphone of the Sound Level Meter. The Windshiel d must be removed befor e t h e Sound Level Meter can be calibrated.
NK:70 Random Incidence Adaptor
The NK:70 Random Incidence Adaptor is designed to modify the response of the microp h one capsule from Free Field to Random Incidence in order to comply with the requirements of ANSI S1.4.
For instruments supplied for use outside of the USA, this adaptor may not be supplied. For further details, please contact your local representative.
To fit the NK:70 Random In cidence Adaptor, push the adaptor over the microphone grill. Do not attempt to remove the microphone grill as this may cause damage to the capsule.
To calibrate the instrument fitted with the microphone capsule, remove the NK:70 Adaptor and follow the instructions supplied with the instrument. Do Not attempt to calibrate the instrument with the NK:70 fitted.

Display
When the instrument is first switched on, a Welcome screen is shown with the instrument type and version number. After 3 seconds, the display will change and the current Sound Level will be shown with the current configuration shown as above.
In this example, the instrument is showing the Fast A-Weighted Sound Level with the current Date and Time shown at the bottom of the screen. The battery level is shown in the top right hand corner of the display.
Across the top of the display, above the numbers, is shown the sound level as a bar graph. This graph is scaled with the current measurement range. Please refer to page 35 for details of changing the measurement range.
The display will also show the battery level and when the instrument is in Overload or Under Range. The Glossary on page Error! Bookmark not defined. also describes the indication of Overload and Under Range.

The measurement duration is shown at the bottom of the screen.
In this example, the measurement time is 30 minutes.
When the instrument is set to either 1:1 or 1:3 Octave Band Mode, the Run Duration is divided between the frequency bands. For example, if the measurement duration is set to 30 minutes, the MODEL 90 instrument will take a total of 30 minutes to complete the sweep through the frequency bands.
To meet the accuracy required by the standards to which the instrument is designed to meet, there is a minimum time required to measure each frequency band. Therefore, the MODEL 90 enforces a minimum measurement duration of 1 minute for the 1:1 Octave Band Mode and 3 minutes for the 1:3 Octave Band Mode.
