SM3BAT Setup
3.1
Required Items
You need at least the following required items to operate the recorder:
■
Memory Card
for installing firmware updates and saving audio files.
Insert at least one (1) and up to four (4).
■
Power Source
to power the recorder. Choose four (4) D-size
batteries or an external power cable to an external power source.
■
Program File
to determine when to record and other settings.
Choose one of the built-in programs or your own custom program.
■
Ultrasonic Microphone
to capture bat recordings. Connect one (1)
or two (2) ultrasonic microphones.
NOTE
: With an optional acoustic microphone, the SM3BAT recorder is also capable of
recording non-ultrasonic wildlife such as birds or frogs.
3.2
How to Connect Optional Microphones
You can connect one or two external microphones. The two microphone
connectors for channel 0 and channel 1 mate directly with the 3m cable included
with the ultrasonic (SMM-U1) or acoustic (SMM-A1) microphones available from
Wildlife Acoustics.
NOTE:
Unauthorized devices may damage the recorder and will void the warranty.
Both microphones can be extended with available extension cables in 10m and
50m lengths. All connections are fully waterproof. The connector on the cable is
keyed and the cable should be seated into the connector when oriented correctly
and then locked into place by turning the locking ring on the microphone or cable
clockwise firmly until it stops.
NOTE
: Each cable is shipped with a ferrite filter to reduce electromagnetic transmission
to nearby equipment. This is required to comply with FCC regulations but not installing
will not adversely affect the performance of the recorder. The ferrite should be installed
to the cable that attaches to the recorder. The cable is looped through and the ferrite
snapped shut. A zip tie is included for further securing the filter.
