Seismic Tromino BLU ZERO Seismograph

#109567

The Tromino BLU ZERO is a small, lightweight, 3-channel, all-in-one seismograph specifically designed for the dynamic characterization of subsoils with the highest accuracy and the lowest effort. This very adaptable device has applications for both geology and engineering (modal analysis for structures). 

Typical geologic uses might be:

  • Mapping subsoil resonance frequencies (H/V technique)
  • Modeling H/V curves to obtain shear wave velocity profiles (Vs) in the presence of independent constraints.
  • Creating passive seismic imaging of the subsoil.

  • Sampling rates 128, 256, 512, 1024 Hz on all channels
  • USB cable for data transfer to PC
  • 10 x 7 x 13 cm, ~ 1 kg
  • 16 Gb storage capacity
  • Internal rechargeable battery
  • 2 set of spikes for sensor-soil coupling
  • standard frequency band 0.1-500 Hz
