The Güralp Hexis combines two triaxial sensors, the Fortis accelerometer and the Certis medium-motion seismometer,
for maximum dynamic range in a posthole instrument.
> Earthquake early warning systems
> Structural health monitoring
> Shake intensity research
> Acceleration and velocity sensors combined in a
single posthole system
> Dynamic range >200 dB
> Adjustable long-period corner for velocity sensor and
adjustable gain for acceleration sensor
> Easy, rapid deployment
> Slimline stainless steel enclosure with a 100 bar/10
MPa waterproof connector for posthole deployment
