FEATURES

BROADBAND SEISMIC NODE - A UNIQUE COMBINATION

Artius offers a unique combination of performance and portability. A three-component, digital broadband seismometer, Artius was designed as an economic and research-grade node for projects requiring higher station density in medium to high noise sites.

RAPID TEMPORARY DEPLOYMENTS

Artius has a true broadband response of 30 seconds to 200 Hz and is suited to rapid temporary deployments where it can be either pushed or staked into the ground.  As Artius has an internal digitiser and GNSS, it requires just a single port to connect to an external power source to power the sensor during deployment. A bubble level housed within the top of the sensor allows for levelling once in situ.

COMPACT AND ROBUST

For a broadband instrument, the Artius has an impressively compact form-factor of just 80 mm square by 105 mm height. The hard anodised aluminium casing is environmentally sealed to withstand the most challenging field environments.

Select options for feet or deployment spikes.

8-NODE DOCKING STATION

The docking station provides:
  • Testing and configuration controls prior to deployment
  • Convenient mass data validation on completion
  • Up to 3 MB/s data concurrent download per node 
Data are locally recorded in miniSEED (with metadata stored in Station XML and dataless SEED formats). Sensor configuration and data management tools are provided via the Güralp Discovery software platform.
