Song Meter SM4BAT-FS Bat Recorder with SMM-U1 Microphone and 3m Cable
Compact, lightweight Bat Recorder that records in 16-bit full spectrum for 45 nights on one set of batteries.
If you need to leave your bat recorder in the field for a month at a time, without the need to change the batteries, then the Song Meter SM4BAT-FS is ideal. Indeed the batteries last for up to 45 nights, thanks to a low-power microprocessor, and deployment times can be extended with external power sources.
For those of you that are au fait with older models, the SM4BAT-FS combines many of the features of the powerful SM3BAT with the size and compactness of the popular SM2BAT.
Key Features:
- Lightweight, rugged and compact
- High-quality Full Spectrum recordings
- Designed for static monitoring at remote sites
- Features an integrated mounting bracket
- Weatherproof lockable security cover
- Intelligent recording triggers and noise file scrubber - never miss a bat!
- Optional 16 kHz high pass filter to reduce lower frequency noise
- Built-in programs tailored for bat research
- Very simple to create customised schedules
- Effortless and affordable synchronisation of multiple units, using a single GPS accessory
- GPS accessory also records the unit’s travel path
- Remote status logging for wind farm operators*
This particular unit is sold here together with the SMM-U1 microphone and 3 m cable. If you need zero-crossing recordings this can be achieved with the Kaleidoscope Lite.
*This is only available on recorders with serial numbers greater than S4U06942 (manufactured from around March 2019) and running firmware 2.2.1. or later. You will also need an RS-232 data cable to connect the Song Meter to a data logger or other external system.
The new upgrade implements a serial communications interface to wind energy SCADA systems. The SM4-FS responds to serial requests with information including:
- Cumulative number of bat passes and pulses detected
- Timestamp
- Voltage
- Temperature
- Flashcard capacity
