This document provides instructions for setting up, using, cleaning, maintaining and disposing of the 3000 Real Ear BC1 bone conductor, including safety information and calibration responsibilities.
The BC1 bone conductor is an electromechanical transducer. It converts the electrical signal supplied by the audiometer or fitting unit into mechanical vibration that is transmitted to the patient's cranial bones. It has no controls, no power source of its own and no signal-generating circuitry: the connected system determines every frequency, level and signal type, and the bone conductor neither amplifies nor attenuates what it receives.
The bone conductor is supplied with one of the four cable/plug variants, depending on the system it is to be used with:
- 2000-1 (Mini-DIN-8) — for connection to the Auditdata Measure 2000-1 Fitting Unit. Calibration data is stored in the plug.
- DIN-8 — for connection to Auditdata legacy Primus and Unity3 systems. Calibration data is stored in the plug.
- OEM (jacks):
- Mono jack 6.35 mm — for connection to third-party audiometers with a 6.35 mm bone-conduction transducer socket.
- Mono mini-jack 3.5 mm — for connection to third-party audiometers with a 3.5 mm bone-conduction transducer socket.
