Note: The SA 209 foam windscreen (part 8) protects the microphone against
wind and rain. If the SA 209 windscreen is used continuously for a long
period of time it is recommended to replace it at least once a year.
Note: During continuous usage the SA 209 windscreen is exposed to
different weather conditions with possibility of causing physical damage to
the foam’s structure. Therefore, it is recommended, at least once a quarter
(3 months), to check the condition of the windscreen by examining the
surface for cracks by squeezing the foam. If cracks or holes are observed,
the SA 209 windscreen must be replaced. Take care when examining the
foam, as squeezing it too aggressively can damage the surface.
Colour of the silica gel used in the desiccator (part
9
) when it is dry is amber. If colour of
the silica gel turns light grey it means that the gel is soaked (wetted) and the desiccator
is not able to absorb more moisture. Colour of the silica gel is visible through the
window of the desiccator. If colour of the gel becomes light grey, the desiccator should
be regenerated by drying it for 3 hours in temperature of 150°C.
Note: Desiccator should be inspected at least every 2 weeks, and more
often when used in conditions of high air humidity.
Note: Desiccator must be stored in a hermetic container when is not
installed in SA 277 to prevent absorbing moisture unnecessarily.
Note:
Tripod or pole with ¼” thread is not recommended for stormy weather.
