CAUTION Refers to hazards that could damage the instrument. NOTE Indicates tips, recommendations and important information. The notes simplify processes and contain additional information on particular operating steps. The following symbols may be found on the equipment described in this manual: This symbol on the unit indicates that high voltage may be present.
ICP microphones. This eliminates the need to purchase a separate preamplifier. The 130B40 Surface Microphone provides an extremely cost effective method for making general purpose measurements on flat and curved surfaces subjected to air movement. Typical applications include measuring wind-induced noise...
Each 130B series Microphone can measure audio frequencies ranging from 20 Hz to 20 kHz, with a broad dynamic range from 32 dBA to 142 dB. See Figure 2. The Microphone has a built- in TEDS (Transducer Electronics Data Sheet) chip that provides the unit’s sensitivity, calibration date, location and other data for traceability.
NOTE: Under no circumstances Figure 3 Readout should a voltage be supplied to an Signal microphone without a Conditioner Microphone current-regulating diode or equivalent electrical circuit. This may include ohmmeters, multi- meters and continuity testers. Damage to the built-in electronics resulting from the application of incorrect power, or the use of an unapproved power source is NOT...

4.2. Mounting Procedure 1) Use the cleansing tissue (provided) to clean the location where the Surface Microphone will be mounted. (Alternatively, clean the surface with isopropanol or cleaning benzene.) 2) To attach the Surface Microphone using the double-sided adhesive pad (see Figure 6), peel off the protective paper on one side of the pad to expose its adhesive surface, apply firmly to the underside of the microphone, then peel off the protective paper on the other side of the pad to expose the other adhesive surface, and press it onto the clean surface.
4) To attach the single-sided adhesive pad (see Figure 8) when the Surface Microphone will be used in moderate to heavy air flow, peel off the protective paper to expose the pad’s adhesive surface and press it onto the Fairing as shown in Figure 5. Figure 8: Single sided adhesive pad 4.3.
To perform the calibration, install the fairing pad onto the 130B40 Surface Microphone to help ensure a proper seal. Place the microphone and fairing pad on a flat, level surface. Turn the handheld calibrator upside down, and place the 1”...
