SmartSeis Exploration Seismograph

The  SmartSeisTM is a new generation
seismograph that brings together the latest digital and computer technology to help you map the subsurface. The units can be configured with either 12  or 24 channels.

The SmartSeisTM can be  used in a
wide range of applications, including:
depth-to-bedrock, rippability
surveys,  ground water hydrology,
foundation investigations, landslide
studies, hazardous waste mitigation,
fault location, stratigraphy, gravel
detection, mineral exploration,
aquifer tracing, landfill delineation,
coal seam mapping, shear wave
velocities for site response,  and
surface wave analysis.

The user-friendly SmartSeisTM uses advanced data acquisition techniques so that high  quality data is automatic. Built-in data processing gives preliminary answers right in the  field. The SmartSeisTM has special circuitry that continuously looks at  the seismic signal and adjusts the amplifier gains to the optimum setting. Many surveys can employ just a sledgehammer as the source and sum sequential impacts to increase  effective depth penetration.
 

Pick  on-screen first arrivals with a full-sun visible 640x480 pixel liquid crystal display.  Selectable real-time DIGITAL filters in the SmartSeis can eliminate interference produced  from power lines, wind, and surface waves to significantly extend your depth range and reflection capabilities.
 

A paper copy of the record can be produced using the built-in thermal plotter. The data is annotated with the acquisition parameters, line geometry, and even date and time for  correlation  with field notes.
