Micromate Operator Manual – 721U0201 Revision 6 19
7. DUST CAPS AND CONNECTORS
The Micromate has a maximum of six connectors:
three USB connectors
a geophone
a microphone
an optional factory installed auxiliary connector.
Each of these connectors is protected with a custom molded dust cap.
7.1. Dust Cap Replacement
The dust caps are extremely durable and made of the same material as the protective boot.
However, if one of the dust caps were to be damaged it can be easily replaced without opening the
Micromate unit. Remove the three screws, the hold down bar and the damaged dust cap from the
Micromate. Position the new dust cap on the connectors, replace the hold down bar and three
screws. Do not over-tighten the screws (Section 19.6 Torque Specifications and Guidelines). The
example below shows the USB dust caps.

7.2. USB Connectors
The three USB connectors are located on the top of the unit. They are, from left to right, 5V-DC, PC
port and USB port. The 5V-DC is used to connect an external power source to the
Micromate and charge the internal battery. The PC connector is dedicated for use with a computer
and used to program the Micromate, download setup files and event data. The USB port is
used to connect all of the supported USB devices.
