can be used as a sound level meter by attaching the microphone to a bracket. It
can also be mounted on a tripod for area surveys.
The MICRO-15 is powered by a single 9-volt alkaline transistor battery with
an 80-hour battery life. A low battery indication will be displayed 8 hours before
the end of life of an alkaline battery. See page 14 for method of testing battery.

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
General
The MICRO-15 Noise Dosimeter uses an 8-mm omnidirectional
ceramic" microphone buffered by a high impedance FET input stage. The
electronics utilizes low power circuitry for long battery Hie, maximum stability,
and high reliability over a wide range of environmental conditions. A block
diagram of the MICRO-15 is shown in Figure 2.
