14. INSTALLING THE GEOPHONE AND MICROPHONE
14.1. Micromate Geophones
The Micromate geophones are dedicated and calibrated to a specific Micromate unit. This means
that geophones cannot be interchanged between different Micromate units. Before connecting a
geophone to a Micromate unit, be sure to check that the serial number on the geophone matches
the serial number of the Micromate unit. Additionally, geophones and units are calibrated to meet
either the ISEE or DIN standard. Make sure the specific model will meet your monitoring
requirements.
The geophone is used to detect ground vibrations and then transmit related vibration data to the
Micromate unit, via a cable. If the geophone sensor is not located in close proximity to the unit
extension cables may be used. These extension cables can be up to 1000 meters (1Km) in length
regardless of the geophone model. Refer to the Micromate accessory parts list in the appendix for
standard extension cable lengths and part numbers.
Connecting Geophone to Micromate:
The geophone cable connector has a blue “GEO” label with an arrow indicating how the connector
will mate with the connector on the Micromate unit. The dust cap and connector on the
Micromate are also labeled as “GEO”. The geophone port is labeled and color coded blue on the
keypad above the geophone connector.
