ETS SM1-WPCF User manual

SM1-WPCF Microphone Instructions
The SM1-WPCF is a high quality, 12-24VDC powered, flush mount, omni-directional, pre-
amplified, weather proof microphone for use with DRVs, I/P cameras, etc. Note- the audio output
of the SM1-WPCF is “line level” (0db).
SM1-WPCF Microphone Placement.
The SM1-WPCF is designed for outdoor applications and can even withstand complete
submersion in water. Do not mount the microphone near air conditioning vents, light fixtures or
electrical equipment. The SM1-WPCF should be placed at least five feet away from the subject(s)
to be monitored. The SM1-WPCF is still useable in the range of 15-25 feet but is dependent on
the level of background noise in the area. Experimentation in the environment will determine what
distances work best.
Cable Run
Run a 22 gauge, stranded, two conductor shielded cable between the SM1-WPCF microphone
and the monitoring device. Keep the cable run distance under 1,000 feet and away from AC
power sources, light fixtures and electrical equipment. Connect power to the + terminal, the audio
signal to the “audio” terminal and ground to the – terminal. The Ground of the power and audio
signal must share a common ground for proper operation. See Figure 1 for connection diagram.
Mounting
The SM1-WPCF is designed to be surface mounted on any flat surface or on an exterior single
gang “bell” electrical box. Be sure to use the supplied gasket to prevent water from entering the
electronics.
Adjusting the SM1-WPCF Gain
The SM1-WPCF is shipped with the gain set at midrange. If the sound at the “head end” is
distorted, rotate the control towards the – mark (counter-clockwise). If the volume at the “head
end” is too low, rotate the control towards the + mark (clockwise).
