Minimate Pro Operator Manual 1–1
1. BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Before you begin using your new Series IV vibration and overpressure monitor, please complete
the following. It ensures your monitor is ready for operation and that you become part of
Instantel’s Product Support Program.
Install the Blastware software then read the important information in the ReadMe file. See the
Blastware Operator Manual for installation instructions. For most monitoring operations,
setting up and using the monitor is the same for both 4 - Channel and 6 - Channel models,
Minimate Pro4™ and Minimate Pro6™. Where differences do occur, this manual specifies both
the four and six channel procedures.
1.1. Check the Package Contents
Please check that you received all the parts identified on your shipping invoice. Remember to keep
your shipping box because it was designed to safely ship your monitor back to Instantel for
calibration and service.
1.2. Record the Minimate Pro Identification Numbers
Record the following identification numbers for future reference:
Monitor Software Version Number
ISEE Geophone Serial Number(s)
DIN Geophone Serial Number(s)

year warranty, product support, and product updates. Your monitor and sensors must be returned

1.4. Check Your Local Electric Power Supply
Every Minimate Pro comes with a 120 VAC, 60 Hz, 16W input AC adapter providing 12 VDC,
1.5A output. An optional 220 VAC adapter is available. Check with your local power utility to
ensure the supplied electric power may be used with the Minimate Pro. Ask your dealer for
information on an optional AC adapter to meet your local requirements.
