Shallow Posthole Seismometer: Model F72-2.0

Borehole Seismometer Manufacturer

Easily installed Seismometer for micro-earthquake monitoring.

The F72-2.0 is IESE’s readily deployed shallow posthole sonde for use in micro-earthquake detection and analysis. The standard model F72- 2.0 is designed for installation in up to 50 m vertical holes with a specialized option for use to 100 m. All three orthogonal components are fixed. The F72-2.0 represents a low cost compromise if the conditions are applicable. An alternate model, the F72-4.5 offers a higher tilt tolerance in exchange for a higher corner frequency.


Features:

    • Fixed geophones

    • Withstands up to 100 °C (frequency changes > 50 °C)

    • Passive sensors

    • For permanent or semi-permanent installations

    • Custom versions can include accelerometers, magnetometers etc.
