Seismometer :: IMV SW-54 & SW-52

The SW series represents the pinnacle of earthquake and ground velocity monitors - high accuracy and able to detect even the smallest earthquakes, these devices are networkable and grid-controllable to enable mass surveillance of the surrounding earth. Want to measure micro-earthquakes and the effect of nearby mining operations - these systems make complex measurements simple and repeatable.

Seismometers can be connected to a central display system to comprehensively map civil construction projects and the effect they have on surrounding neighbourhoods. Each display supports up to three seismometers allowing for measurements across vertical planes.

 
 
 

Key Features :: SW-54 + SW-52

SW-52 Seismometer Sensor

The SW-52 is a cutting edge sensing element incorporating a built-in servo type accelerometer used for detecting micro-tremors. Both indication and alarm intervals can be set in 1gal increments.

With an IP67 rated design the sensing element is dust and waterproof, allowing for long-term exposure to the elements.

Fixing is simple using only two bolts, providing the rigidity required for accurate measurements.

SW-54 Display States

Three display states convey simple information to the user. Green shows the device is currently monitoring and in pre-trigger mode, Red indicates an earthquake is currently occurring and Orange shows an event has been recorded.

With optional software up to 50 events can be recorded for later analysis.

 

Complete System - Block Diagram

The coupling of an SW-54 with SW-52 provides a comprehensive solution for on and off-grid monitoring of earthquakes. The system can be synchronised with external clocks, alarms and optional extras including displays, printers and external computers.

Additionally, up to three systems can be networked together.

 

Available in Flame-Proof / Dust-Ignition-Proof Forms

SW-52EX / SW-52ST ATEX can provide alarm outputs for control in the event of an earthquake on gas and dust explosion areas such as mining, petrochemical or hydrogen plants, manufacturing plants, etc. High resolution servo accelerometer enables to prevent secondary disasters caused by earthquakes.

 

Multiple Seismometer Display

TM-0013-SW is a multi-seismometer display for up to three sensing elements. The system allows for the implementation of 2/3 measurements for certainty of seismic activity.

It is a high precision seismometer employing the servo accelerometers that can detect micro earthquakes.

TM-0013-SW is the display record system for a dust-explosion-proof type seismic monitoring system SW-52EX and standard seismic monitoring system SW-52ST. This display can be connected 3 systems, also can display and record the seismic information of 3 systems. It acquires waveform and can output after logical judgement (AND/OR/2 out of 3) against seismic alarm
