THETA-TT120-VEL

Product Overview

The THETA-TT120-VEL is a mid-range portable feedback broadband seismometer housed inside a waterproof enclosure. The low noise high dynamic range broadband feedback seismometer is based on a truly rectilinear suspension system which does not require mass lock.

Detailed sensor calibration information is provided with every sensor, including sensor dc calibration levels, the frequency response of the instrument and the transfer function in poles/zeros notation.

THETA-TT120-VEL - GaiaCode

The THETA family of sensors are broadband seismometers, incredibly simple to deploy in large arrays and suitable for local, regional and teleseismic recording.

It is extremely simple to install the sensor, three leveling feet ensure that the sensor can be leveled easily with the aid of the bubble level. The North/South ordination points are machined on the sensor base and the sensor component fixing screws are fixed with dowel pins to achieve the highest possible orientation accuracy. The error in pointer to sensor orientation is less than ± 0.1 degrees.
