VolksMeter II

Seismometer/Tiltmeter

 

Specifications
 
Configuration: 1 or 2 horizontal channels, pendulum with Symmetric Differential Capacitive sensors

Outputs, Acceleration/Tilt/Time stamp Data
               Direct digital connection (RS232-C or USB) to support computer

Sensitivity, Acceleration: 1 part in 16.7 million across a range of ± 0.0034g

Sensitivity, Tilt: 1 part in 16.7 million across a range of ±3.55mRad (±2°)

Dynamic Range: >140dB

Bandwidth: ~40Hz to DC Natural frequency, f0: 0.92Hz

Note: Sensitivity (resolution) is inversely proportional to sample rate. For 40Hz max., a sample rate of 80 samples per second is required. At this sample rate, only 15 bits (1 part in 32,000) resolution is available due to noise considerations, for full 23-bit + sign resolution (1 part in 16.7million) the sample rate must be limited to 10 samples per second or less. At a 10 s/sec rate, the maximum frequency is 5Hz

Linearity: Due to the nature of the sensor and the limited travel of the moving plate, the output is inherently linear across the range of motion.

Noise:
   

Power Requirements: 9-24VDC Note: Current draw is a function of supply voltage and the presence or absence of the GPS option

Supply Voltage

Current Draw
   Without GPS Option With GPS Option
9 VDC 45mA 90mA
12 33mA 68mA
15 30mA 54mA
20 22mA 44mA
24 20mA 38mA

A 110VAC input, 15VDC/500mA output, power supply is included with the VolksMeter. The user-supplied support computer will have power requirements of its’ own.  A "Universal" (110-240VAC) AC input power supply is available as an option:  VMII-UACA.
