24-bit Strong Motion Accelerograph


Model SMR-4000-4A






The eentec SMR4000 is a portable, rugged, ultra low power, high-performance, versatile 24-bit resolution accelerograph.

The standard 4-channel (optional 8-channel) unit contains an optional internal triaxial 2g EA-120 low noise force balance accelerometer package. An ultra low noise accelerometer package (Model EA-120).

The hinged front panel allows for easy adjusting and leveling of the optional accelerometer package after the unit is installed. If required, an accelerometer adjustment board option can be included to further fine-tune the accelerometer's zero bias.

A 1Gb compact flash card for data storage is standard. Data is retrieved by removal of the PC compatible compact flash card, or through dial up telephone access (internal modem optional), or via LAN (Ethernet card optional).

The SMR-4000 includes GPS receiver and antenna and "Smart Timing" software, allowing the user to select the timing accuracy, which will automatically control the GPS cycling. The integrated display and keyboard allows for easy setup in the field and real time viewing of up to 3 waveforms. For large permanent installations, the SMR line includes multi-channel systems up to 24 channels (Model SMR-4000X)
