SMRH²
from Reftek Systems Inc
The SMRH² is a new integrated seismic monitoring system which combines the broadband seismic recorder with the 147-force balance accelerometer, enclosed in a single unit (Fig.1).
A high-resolution system, which is perfectly designed for early warning installation. The system has a larger dynamic range than previous models due to its 32-bit A/D performance boost which allows the user to record smaller vibrations and acquire a more detailed seismic dataset.
The instrument has an internal triaxial force-balance accelerometer which allows the user to measure low to ultra-low frequency motion by converting acceleration to voltage. This combined high sensitivity, large linear/dynamic range, resolution and compact size with wireless communication, is ideal for early earthquake warning systems in existing infrastructure.
By using the force balance feedback technique, the SMRH² avoids non-linear distortion and threshold sensitivity of elastic measuring parts which can be found with other accelerometers.
The SMRH² communicates through the Seedlink server and can be configured to automatically import MiniSeed data to your analysis software. The system also has its own internal memory (8GB storage, flash memory) which will allow the user to store/back up their data if they cannot connect to the meter or require historical data. With this system, the user has the option to transmit to ultra-low latency for Earthquake Warning applications (EEW) by setting up the unit to transmit real-time data through the REFTEK RTPD software to EEW software.
