112 Micromate Operator Manual – 721U0201 Revision 6
13.5. Powered USB Hubs
The Micromate does support the use of USB 2.0 hubs that will allow you to connect multiple
devices to the Micromate’s USB port. Although the Micromate does provide power on its USB port,
five volts and up to 500 mA, Instantel recommends that all USB hubs be externally powered.
Connecting any USB device that draws power directly from the Micromate will reduce the battery
life of the unit.
The USB hub could be used when a Micromate has been used to record events at different
locations and these events are to be stored on different memory sticks. Connect the hub to the
Micromate’s USB port and a maximum of two memory sticks at the same time. While in the event
list, if events are saved to the memory stick, an extra message will be presented and the desired
memory stick must be selected. Once the memory stick has been selected the Micromate will
copy the events to that memory stick. Refer to section 9.3.3.b Save Events to USB Memory Stick
for additional information.
