Instantel Minimate Plus
The Instantel Minimate Plus has become a favorite of Contractors,Consultants, Engineers and Blasters because it offers unrivaled features and versatility in a rugged and easy-to-use package.
Versatile – When used as a compliance monitor, the Minimate Plus is a perfect fit in any monitoring application. It is available with external ground sensors for maximum flexibility, or with the geophone components housed in the case, for a compact and economical system. You also have the option to add four more channels, so you can have two complete, standard seismographs with a single monitor. For the most demanding monitoring applications use Instantel’s Blastware ® Advanced Software to unlock the full capabilities of the Minimate Plus. You can configure the velocity and microphone channels as independent non-sensor specific data acquisition channels for a variety of sensors including hydrophones, accelerometers and even crack monitors.
Intelligent -Instantel’s Autocall Home feature allows the monitor to automatically transfer event files from the instrument to the office via Cellular, Satellite, RF, GSM, or standard land line modems. From there, the Blastware
Mail feature of Blastware distributes the information to multiple e-mails, internet or any text messaging devices.
Easy to use -Even with all of these features, the Minimate Plus is still easy for anyone to use. A high-contrast LCD, eight-key tactile keypad, coupled with simple menu-driven operations, provides complete control and confidence.
Key Features
