Connector ports of the VIBRA

3.2
The VIBRA has been equipped with two sockets on the right side:
•
The upper socket can be used to link the system with a Windows® computer via a USB protocol.
On the front side of the VIBRA, to the left of the socket, the word USB is printed.
•
The lower socket can be used to connect the geophone. Please find information on correct
connection in paragraph 4.1.3. On the front side of the VIBRA, to the left of the socket, the word
GEOPHONE is printed.
When the VIBRA is used in the field, the USB socket should be closed with the cover. Covering the socket
prevents moisture from entering the socket and possibly causing corrosion. Also it prevents sand, mud,
etc. from clogging up the socket.
