Installation
The following chapter explains the installation of the BATmode system in the nacelle of a wind turbine.
If you use microphone discs or bat detector dongles not purchased from bat bioacoustictechnology
please follow the installation instructions of the manufacturer of your devices.
3.1.1
BATmode 2S and BATmode 2S+ Main Detector Unit
The main detector unit has to be installed protected against splashing water and mechanical strain.
If you want to install the device on a VESA compatible mounting plate, remove the device´s feet and
install the provided VESA mounting brackets. Use the VESA mounting screws to fix the device on the
mounting plate.
If you install the device on a DIN rail, please use the DIN rail mounting kit, which is available from bat
bioacoustictechnology as accessory.
bat bioacoustictechnology recommends the use of the BATbox S, which is especially made for an easy
and safe installation of the BATmode 2S and BATmode 2S+ in wind turbines. Since the BATmode is
installed in the BATbox S on a DIN rail, the BATmode comes with preinstalled DIN rail mounting kit
when you purchase a BATmode system and a BATbox S at the same time.
Be careful not to damage the warranty seals, when removing the device´s feet. A
damaged seal will invalidate the warranty agreement.
Ensure a sufficient air circulation around the BATmode 2S and BATmode 2S+ main
detector unit. Overheating can cause system failure or damage to the BATmode
system.
3.1.2
UltraSoundGate 116Hnbm/116Hnbm-r (optional)
The BATmode can be operated with up to four UltraSoundGates 116Hnbm or one UltraSoundGate
116Hnbm and up to three UltraSpundGates 116Hnbm-r. These has to be installed protected against
splashing water and mechanical strain next to the main detector unit.
bat bioacoustictechnology recommends the use of the BATbox S, which is especially made for an easy
and safe installation of the UltraSoundGate 116Hnbm/116Hnbm-r in wind turbines. To mount the
UltraSoundGate 116Hnbm/116Hnbm-r in the BATbox S use the clamp in the BATbox S.
