data analysis for each interval. If you do not require printing of histogram record mode results,
choose No Graphics or Data.
Histogram recording requires sufficient battery power and printer paper during monitoring. For
example, recording for one hour in two second intervals, the printout is approximately one foot
(30 cm) long. The BlastMate III continues to record event information even if the paper runs out.
You can print the results at a later time, after refilling the paper, using the Events
key.
To increase monitoring times, we recommend that you connect the AC adapter or an external
battery to the monitor and turn off the printing by choosing No Graphics or Data.

3.7.6. Setups Special Key

Special

microphone alarm level, serial connection and baudrate.
a. Timer Mode
The timer function sets the BlastMate III to automatically turn on and start monitoring operations
at a preset time in the future. The timer can be set for a one time monitoring session or it can be
set to record at the same time everyday. Using the timer extends the BlastMate III battery life by
turning on and monitoring only the time periods when events occur and not the time periods
between events. It also minimizes the recording of false events from other sources.
To stop timer recording at any time, press the
Cancel
key.
