The EP-105 broadband seismometer instruments are econmical, designed as a versatile, rugged broadband active seismic sensors. They consume very low power and are packaged in compact, lightweight aluminum cases. Unlike traditional seismometers, they are based on proprietary electrochemical transducer technology .

These transducers have many advantages over conventional electromechanical sensors. The sensor is equipped with a force-balancing feedback and its noise is reduced by an additional 10dB. The sensors are offered in two application-dependent versions: EP105SM with a higher clip level, and EP105LN with reduced noise. Both models have the same dynamic range, which is shifted up by approximately 10db in the 'SM' relatively to the 'LN' version.

The EP105 has an exceptionally rugged design and DOES NOT require mass lock or mass centering, or special installation equipment or procedures. The units are operational in a wide range of installation tilts. Optional inclinometers may be installed. These seismometers provide a low cost of ownership, REQUIRING no maintenance over the life of the instrument. Three and five-year extended warranties are available.
