Wireless Geophone

Description

SeniMax™ wireless 3D Geophone provides an easy way to install a scalable solution for collecting seismic data. The transceiver and the solar panel can be easily mounted with either the flange or adhesive. The device comes with a high capacity lithium-ion battery charged by a solar panel. It does not require battery replacement making it almost maintenance free. The whole product meets IP66 standard (completely weatherproof) making it an excellent choice for seismic monitoring applications that require the sensors to be installed outside or on places that are hard to reach.

The SeniMax™ 3D Geophone is equipped with three HS-1 or GS-One Geophones from Geospace Technologies. The geophone is an integral component in the monitoring analysis of machinery vibration. This rugged, self-generating velocity sensor converts mechanical motion into an electrical signal which is proportional to relative velocity. The dual-coil construction minimizes interference from electromagnetic fields.

This product uses Resensys’s proprietary Active RF Technology. Resensys ART technology offers a high performance method for large-scale sensing, wireless synchronization and ultra-energy efficient wireless communication.

At the same time it can serve as a gateway to collect data from other SenSpot™ sensors.

The separate flanged sensing element makes the installation very easy for earth seismic movement monitoring where the sensing element should be buried inside the soil or concrete.

The detection threshold can be adjusted remotely by user from 1.2mm/s (0.047inch/s) to 30mm/s (1.18 inch/s) based on the application. This allows the user to adjust the number of detected movements within a specific time period after installing the sensor and based on actual condition. Additionally, the sampling intervalcan be adjusted remotely from 2ms (500Hz) to 100ms (10 Hz) after installation.
