Ideal for both rapid temporary deployments and permanent installations, this sensor is available in multiple packaging options to suit your needs.

Description

The Silicon Audion short-period omnitilt seismometer is professional seismic sensor that can be used in multiple applications including permanent stations or for rapid portable deployments for seismic monitoring. It comes in vault or porthole packaging.
This sensor uses optical technology to achieve low self noise and a high clip level, allowing it also to be 360-degree tilt-insensitive or ommnidirectional.

Key Features:

  • High shock tolerance.
  • Wide bandwidth and dynamic range.
  • Low cross-axis sensitivity.
  • Low power design.
  • Very large tilt tolerance.
  • High clip levels and low distortion levels.
  • Customizable packaging/configuration.
  • Small, lightweight, rugged form factor.
  • High linearity across full bandwidth.
  • High vector fidelity.
  • Can be adjusted for short periods as per USGS parameters.
  • Suitable for permanent operational observation or for a portable station solution.
