CONGRATULATIONS ON PURCHASING A
MICROMATE!
With so many features, the Instantel® Micromate redefines
industry standards for functionality and ease of use.
A color touch screen display provides access to a simple and
efficient menu driven operating system. This is further
enhanced with the use of context sensitive icons and quick
access short cut icons.
The Micromate also includes a keypad for added flexibility.
Whether you prefer touch screens, keypads, or a combination
of both, you will find the Micromate intuitive to use and easy
to learn. The full display touch screen QWERTY keyboard
makes entry of data and notes convenient and easy.
The Micromate supports USB 2.0 with operating speeds up to
12 MB/s on both of its USB ports. The supported peripherals
include memory sticks, modems, a printer, GPS, powered USB
hubs and a computer. These supported peripherals are
automatically identified when connected and the associated
commands and functions are made available in much the
same manner that you are accustomed to with your
computer.
The Micromate provides 10 days (15 day option available) of
uninterrupted monitoring with its internal battery and storage
of up to 1000 events (additional memory also available). It
supports Waveform, Waveform Manual, Histogram and
Histogram-Combo™ recording modes with zero dead time
between events. It also supports Instantel’s Auto Call Home™
and Vision™ programs for a total monitoring solution. The
recorded events can be copied directly to a USB memory stick
(no PC required) or automatically transferred from the unit in a remote location with a modem
back to the computer in your office.
The Micromate is built to last. The main unit comes with a fully sealed top panel. The non-
corrosive fully sealed industrial grade connectors are labeled and color coded for easy identification
and installation. Custom molded housings for the geophone and base unit are made of superior
impact polycarbonate. An optional protective “boot” provides the highest level of durability and
ruggedness available in Instantel’s product line. The operating temperature range is -40°C to 45°C
(-40°F to 113°F).

INSTANTEL
Founded in 1982, Instantel has established a worldwide leadership position
with best in class vibration and air overpressure monitoring equipment for
a variety of applications including: construction,
geotechnical, tunneling, mining, quarry, environmental,
underwater, human annoyance, military, structural health, and research. Used in over 110
countries, Instantel vibration monitors have earned their position as the world’s most trusted
vibration monitors. In 2008 Instantel became a proud member of Stanley Black and Decker group
of companies.
A worldwide network of qualified Dealers offers Instantel
equipment sales and rentals, as well as professional
consulting, monitoring and support services, for any
project. Instantel Dealers receive factory direct training
on products and technical support.
Instantel instruments are precisely calibrated and sealed
with a “tamper” label at the factory prior to shipping. The
tamper label safeguards against unauthorized access to
the internal components. The accompanying calibration
report includes the actual amplitude verses frequency
response graph for the microphone and each of three
geophone sensor shipped with the unit. It is
recommended that units are re-calibrated on an annual
basis, either at Instantel or at factory authorized
calibration and service sites.
Events from Instantel’s Micromate, Minimate Pro, and
Series III monitoring units can be forwarded to Vision, a cloud-based vibration monitoring data
hosting application that takes the pain out of satisfying even the most demanding reporting
requirements. Using Instantel’s proprietary Auto Call Home technology, vibration data uploads to
Vision immediately after it is collected, not hours—or even days—later.
Once the data uploads, Vision provides secure, encrypted web-based
access to the latest information from any desktop, laptop or tablet with
access to the web. With web-based hosting, your stakeholders will be
able to access the data they need at the time that they need to,
providing instant sharing for time sensitive projects.
Instantel’s products have become known for world-leading reliability, ruggedness and ease of use.
While full featured, we feel our units also represent the best available value in the industry.
Instantel works closely with local and global suppliers and our own Teams to ensure products are in
stock and available when you need them. We strive to provide the best and most responsive
technical support in the industry. All of this means that when you purchase Instantel products,
you are purchasing the best!

Ensure you are attaching the cable or device to the proper connector.
The Micromate is water-resistant. Do not immerse in water. Clean with a damp cloth.
1.5. Micromate ISEE and DIN Models
The Micromate unit and geophone are factory calibrated as a system to either the International
Society of Explosives Engineers (ISEE) or Deutsches Institut fur Normung (DIN) 45669-1 standards,
but not to both. The Micromate and geophone Model/Serial number labels will be exactly the
same and carry the designation of ISEE or DIN. The geophone cannot be swapped with any other
Micromate unit as the calibration would no longer be valid.
Micromate ISEE Model

3. BASIC TUTORIAL
In this Basic Tutorial, you will connect the geophone and microphone and configure your
Micromate to create a sample Event using the Waveform record mode.Then once the event has
been recorded you will review the results on the Micromate’s touch screen display.
Step 1: Connect the Geophone and Microphone
Align and connect the ISEE Geophone or DIN Geophone and the Linear Microphone to the
connections with the proper labels on the Micromate. The color on each sensor connector
corresponds with the color of the label on the top of the unit. On the unit, below each connector,
is a white text label indicating the name of each connector.
Step 2: Turn the Unit On
If you have received your Micromate directly from Instantel, or from an Authorized Instantel
Service and Calibration Facility, the battery will be deactivated for shipping safety and battery life
conservation. To activate the battery, press and hold the power button for five (5) seconds; the
unit will turn the display on and begin loading the operating system. An installation progress bar
will be displayed during this time. After the unit operating system has been loaded, the main
Micromate display will appear.

2) For this example make the changes to the current Setup File, listed above, using the touch
screen or keypad Arrow and Check Mark keys.
3) Press the Save icon to save any changes that you have made.
4) To exit the Setup screen and return to the Ready to Monitor screen, press the Cancel icon
or Cancel key.
Step 4: Position the Sensors
Refer to section 14 Installing the Geophone and Microphone for additional information.
Step 5: Perform a Sensor Check
1) Confirm that sensors (geophone or microphone or both) are properly leveled and connected to
the Micromate. Ensure cable connections are properly seated.
2) Run Sensor Check: Press the sensor check button on the key pad or touch the sensor check
icon on the touch screen. The Micromate will now confirm that sensors are ready for
monitoring by displaying a message indicating that sensors have “passed” as shown below.
NOTE: The sensor check feature must be manually initiated. Instantel strongly recommends
that sensor check be used before entering monitor mode.

8 Micromate Operator Manual –721U0201 Revision 6
Sensor Check - All Sensors Passing
If the geophone sensor check fails, a failure message will appear in one or more of the Transverse,
Vertical, or Longitudinal channels.
Sensor Check –Failing Vert Sensor Sensor Check –All Geophones Failing
The most common reasons for a failed geophone sensor check are due to an improper leveling or
connection. See Step #1 above. The geophone sensor check may also fail due to a damaged cable.
Check the cable to ensure there are no cuts, crimps or any other damage. If damage exists, the
cable requires replacement. Contact your dealer.
If the transverse geophone channel fails: The geophone is likely out of level from side to side.
If the vertical geophone channel fails: The geophone is likely tilted from side to side, from front to
back, is upside down or some combination of these.
If the longitudinal geophone channels fails: The geophone is likely out of level from front to back.
In all of the above cases, ensure that the geophone is properly installed and is level.
NOTE: A failed sensor check condition should be corrected prior to initiation of monitoring.
Monitoring in a failed sensor check state could result in inaccurate data being recorded on the
failed channel.

Micromate Operator Manual –721U0201 Revision 6 9
If the linear microphone sensor check fails a failure message will appear in the microphone
channel.
Sensor Check –Microphone Failing
The most common reason for a failed linear microphone sensor check is due to an improper
connection. See Step #1 above.
The linear microphone sensor check may also fail due to a damaged cable. Check the cable to
ensure there are no cuts, crimps or any other damage. If damage exists, the cable requires
replacement. Contact your dealer.
If the above steps do not resolve the problem, and the linear microphone channel continues to
show a failed state the options are:
1) Swap the failed microphone with another Micromate linear microphone.
2) Disable the linear microphone channel and record only ground vibrations with the
geophone. See section 11.1.1 Active Sensors for instruction on how to disable the linear
microphone.
NOTE: A failed sensor check condition should be corrected prior to initiation of monitoring.
Monitoring in a failed sensor check state could result in inaccurate data being recorded on the
failed channel.
Step 6: Record an Event
1) Press the Start Monitor key or the Start Monitor icon.
2) Once the Micromate is monitoring, conduct a test by shaking the geophone to trigger the
unit and record an event. This will confirm that the system is operational.
3) Press the Cancel icon or the Cancel key to exit Monitor Mode.
