A digital broadband node for large N arrays that outputs to miniSEED
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.Artius is an ultra-compact node housing a three-component, digital broadband seismometer for portable, dense arrays with internal GNSS and Bluetooth.
With a response of 30 seconds to 200 Hz, Artius is suited to rapid temporary deployments where it can be either pushed or staked into the ground.
Artius is designed to be docked into an eight-node capacity docking station for data validation and 3MB/s data download. It also serves as a 'huddle' system for configuration and testing prior to deployment.

- Broadband seismic sensor with integrated digitiser
- 30 s to 200 Hz response
- Triaxial, orthogonal (ZNE) instrument with high cross-axis rejection
- Data stored in miniSEED
- Storage of instrument response and calibration parameters (RESP, Station XML and Dataless SEED formats)
- Internal GNSS
- Ultra-compact at just 80 x 80 x 105 mm excluding feet/deployment spikes
- Environmentally sealed, hard anodised aluminium enclosure
- Single port for power supply and connection to docking station
Artius Accessories:
Artius is designed to be docked into an eight node capacity docking station that provides access to testing and configuration controls prior to deployment and convenient mass data validation and 3 MB/s data download on completion.
Data are locally recorded on a fixed 16 GB microSD card 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.
Deployment options:
For deployment, Artius can be paired with three fixed feet or two deployment spike options to suit the terrain.
