"Series 3 & 2"

Or: Screw the MK 301 Microphone on

to the A67 Adaptor supplied with it,

then screw the adaptor on to a

CEL-527 or CEL-525 Preamplifier.

Although Types 1 and 2 preamplifiers

have a similar microphone thread,

other physical limitations prevent

operation with an incorrect pairing.

3. Locate the interface module in the

guides (Figure 2) and push firmly into

place.

4. When an active interface is to be used,

install it before switching ON

otherwise it will not be recognised by

the firmware.

Warning !

LOAD BATTERIES in the correct

orientations shown inside the

battery compartment.

One or two cells installed with the

wrong polarity can still allow the

instrument to function, but will

provoke overheating severe enough

to rupture a cell, with consequent

risk to the operator and damage to

the instrument.
5. Insert 8 standard AA size batteries in

the orientations shown inside the

battery compartment (and Figure 2).

It is recommened that alkaline IEC

Type LR6 be used.

6. Proceed to Chapter 5 to try simple

measurements, or to Chapter 6 for

acoustic calibration.

When a CEL-250* (or MK 250) Electret

Microphone is fitted and you do not know

whether the polarizing voltage is OFF,

before doing anything else, check it

as follows.

Note*:Microphones are identified by a name

engraved on the side of the sleeve.

1. If the microphone is a CEL-250 (or an

MK 250) carefully unscrew it from the

preamplifier.

2. Locate the preamplifier in the guides

(Figure 2) and push firmly into place.

3. Observing the battery warning in

Chapter 3, insert eight standard AA

batteries in the orientations shown

inside the battery compartment (and in

Figure 2).

It is recommened that alkaline IEC

Type LR6 be used.
