Quick Start Guide
Complete the following checklist to start recording with the SM3BAT.
□
Optionally, check for firmware updates for the SM3. See Section 9.4 for
instructions.
□
Install four (4) new high-quality D size alkaline or NiMH batteries in the two
battery bays. See 3.4 How to Install Batteries.
□
Loosen the thumb-screws and remove the memory bay cover. Insert at least
one (1) and up to four (4) memory cards. See 3.6 How to Insert and Remove
SD Memory Cards.
□
Slide the power switch down to turn
ON
internal battery power.
□
Replace the memory bay cover and hand-tighten the four (4) thumb-screws.
□
The device powers on and reports its status. After scanning the memory
cards, the
Song Meter Main Menu
appears.
□
Set the date and time. See 3.7 How to Set the Date and Time.
□
For programs based on sunrise or sunset, set the recorder location and time
zone. See 3.8 How to Set the Location and Time Zone.
□
Load a built-in program. See 4.3 How to Load a Built-In Program.
■
Use
Sunset to Sunrise
to record triggered .wav files.
■
Use
Sunset - Sunrise ZC
to record triggered zero crossing.
□
You may modify a built-in program on the recorder, but it is recommended
to use the SM3 Configurator software on your computer. See Chapter 5.
□
Mount the recorder in a suitable location for unattended recording.
□
Connect one or two SMM-U1 ultrasonic microphones. The recorder
automatically detects the microphones and records on those channels.
□
Press the
PROGRAM START
button to start the active program on the
recorder. The SM3BAT knows when to enter sleep mode to save power and
is smart enough to wake itself to record for the duration of your deployment.
□
(Optional) During deployment, press
CHECK STATUS
to check battery
voltage or remaining memory card capacity.
□
Hours, days, or weeks later, press and hold
PROGRAM STOP
for two
seconds to finish recording. Remove the memory cards and review the
recordings on your analysis workstation or another computer.
