Advanced Vibration + Sound Monitoring Platform + Built In Communications

The Micromate Plus monitoring unit offers robust, reliable monitoring with built-in features, including a Wi-Fi and cellular modem, GPS, battery, and a solar charge controller. The USB-C port provides fast charging and facilitates data transfer when a wireless network is unavailable. Solar panels can be connected through the power port, and data retrieval is seamless with Vision II software—no monthly subscription fees are required.

The Micromate Plus offers interchangeable triaxial geophones and microphones, independent of the base unit. Only the sensors require calibration, allowing the unit to stay deployed in the field. With an extra set of pre-calibrated sensors, you can quickly swap them out to avoid downtime. Geophones can be mounted on horizontal or vertical surfaces, and you can monitor them simultaneously alongside the linear and sound microphones in real time, fully time-synchronized. The sound microphone captures both decibel levels (dB) and audio clips that help identify the source of the noise. The geophones also meet multiple standards in one sensor. For in-field configuration, the fail-safe keypad ensures functionality, even in areas with no cellular coverage.

Designed to withstand the toughest conditions, the Micromate Plus comes with color-coded Mil-Spec connectors, an IP68 rating, and a rugged aluminum case with an easily removable protective boot. The robust connectors are even usable while wearing gloves. Capable of operating in extreme temperatures ranging from -40°C to 55°C (-40°F to 131°F), the unit is built for reliability in all environments. Data retrieval is flexible too—either through automatic uploads via Wi-Fi or cellular connection to the cloud-based Vision II platform or through offline options using the USB-C port for a thumb drive or a direct computer connection. Whether online or offline, there is always a way to get your data—24/7/365.

The Micromate Plus is engineered for ease of use, with an intuitive interface designed for daily operations. Quick-access function keys streamline everyday tasks, and seamless integration with Vision II software transforms the unit into a complete monitoring solution. Within Vision II, you can easily switch between national and international compliance standards, such as ISEE and DIN, and generate user-definable custom compliance reports to meet local requirements.

Built-in Features

Built-in features include Wi-Fi and cellular modems, GPS, a solar charge controller, a USB-C port for fast charging and data transfer when a wireless connection is unavailable, and an AUX port for additional sensors. The touchscreen interface allows you to use the Micromate Plus offline.

Flexible Data Retrieval

Your data is automatically uploaded via Wi-Fi or cellular connection to the Instantel cloud-based Vision II platform. For offline devices, use the built-in USB-C port to connect a thumb drive or a cabled link to a computer. There is always a way to get your data—24/7/365.

Time-Synchronized Sensors

Connect a geophone, air overpressure, and a sound microphone simultaneously to monitor all three in near real-time. The sound microphone can record decibel levels (dB) and audio clips to help identify the source of the noise.

Advanced Geophone Functionality

The Micromate Plus features interchangeable triaxial geophones and microphones not tied to a specific base unit. Each geophone meets multiple standards and can easily be mounted on horizontal or vertical surfaces.

Sensor Calibration

Only the geophones and microphones require calibration, not the unit, allowing the Micromate Plus to remain in the field. With additional inventory, you can easily swap out your sensor with one already calibrated to avoid downtime.

Fail-Safe Keypad

Permits in-field configuration, even when cellular coverage is not available.

Designed for Ease of Use

The Micromate Plus is designed to perform your daily tasks effortlessly. Schedule your monitoring to the minute from the unit or within Vision II software. The user-friendly interface features quick-access function keys and touchscreen icons for everyday operations, designed to save time.

Rugged and Reliable

The Micromate Plus is engineered for the most demanding applications. It is equipped with color-coded Mil-Spec connectors that are usable with gloves and features an IP68 rating, a rugged aluminum case, and a protective boot that can be easily inserted and removed. The built-in solar charge controller supports a direct 12V solar panel connection.

Customizable Compliance Reporting

Easily toggle between national and international compliance standards, such as ISEE and DIN. With Vision II software, user-definable compliance reporting can be created to meet any local requirements.
