  • 24-bit, four-channel (⨹ eight-channel) digitizer with nominal 2.44 μV/count sensitivity
  • Compact form: 134 × 99 × 45 mm (⨹ 134 × 139 × 45 mm) and 0.67 kg (⨹ 0.78 kg)
  • Compatible with all analogue seismic sensors with a voltage output
  • Simultaneously accommodates one (⨹ two) triaxial sensor(s), one (⨹ two) infra-sound sensor(s) and a digital feed from a Radian post-hole or borehole instrument
  • Supports automatic Identification of I.P. addresses via Güralp Discovery software and a cloud-based or organisational registry server
  • Remote instrument and data management via Discovery
  • Bluetooth Android app for installation integrity checking
  • Hot-swappable data storage with dual redundant microSD cards (2x 128GB MicroSD)

The Güralp 3ESP Compact is a full-featured, three-axis, analogue, force-feedback seismometer. 

  • 60 s - 100 Hz standard frequency response, (option of 120 s low-pass corner)
  • Covers the complete seismic spectrum with a single transfer function
  • Self noise below the USGS NLNM from 30 s to 16 Hz
  • High linearity: > 107 dB horizontal, 111 dB vertical
  • Over 140 dB dynamic range over a wide frequency band
  • Cross axis rejection over 62 dB; sensor axes orthogonal to within ± 0.05°
  • Robust automatic mass locking, unlocking and centring
  • Low power consumption of just 750 mW
  • Truly portable - just 8.4 kg with lifing handle, and convenient access to connectors
  • Hard anodised aluminium enclosure
  • IP68 - protection against effects of prolonged immersion at 3 m depth for 72 hours

CABLEs

5 meter long rigid instrument cable to connect the Minimus to 3ESPC. Min loop radius ~40cm (if bent too much, the cable will get damaged); 26 pin female military socket (bayonet).

GNSS

GNSS antenna with 10 meter cable.

BATTERIES
