ULTRALOW POWER
24-BIT SEISMIC DUAL
RESOLUTION DATA RECORDER

Model DR4050






The eentec DR4050 is a rugged, ultra low power, high-performance, versatile 24-bit and 21-bit resolution seismic recorder. It is designed for the most demanding requirements in high performance seismic or strong motion research. Generally for structural monitoring and other seismic applications, only the 21-bit (low resolution 24-bit ADC) is required. The standard unit has an external sensor input.

This state-of-the art seismic standard recorder features an external sensor input. Options include an internal accelerometer, a higher dynamic range internal accelerometer with 24-bit resolution or an external 24-bit triaxial sensor input with or without an internal standard accelerometer. Each channel has a high resolution ADC that ensures no channel to channel skew in any configuration, and a very low-power, high-performance DSP that controls the data acquisition, real-time digitization and filtration. The standard unit is suitable for building and structural monitoring (optional internal high-resolution accelerometer available). The external 3-channel sensor input can be ordered with the internal accelerometer and be used with a broadband seismometer (EP or SP series), rotational seismometer (R-1), or additional accelerometers

The powerful, full-featured single-board system is easy to use, install, and maintain. It is lightweight and robust for field deployment. It includes software for waveform analysis and manipulation.

Its full-featured communication capabilities such as VSAT, ADSL, and some radios allows easy configuration for telemetry networks. GSM, GPRS, CDMA, and PSTN communications are also supported. The included GPS can act as a network time server for synchronizing other NTPv4 enabled timing critical systems.

Other options include a LCD display, modem, and external battery pack with charger.
