WASHINGTON, Dec. 10, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Trimble (NASDAQ:
TRMB) introduced today the portable REF TEK®
Colt™ broadband seismometer that provides high-quality
data for scientists and academics using seismic networks to conduct
earth movement studies.
The announcement was made at the American Geophysical Union
(AGU) 2018 Fall Meeting.
Working in combination with a Trimble or third-party seismic
data recorder, the REF TEK Colt sensor enables scientific and
academic researchers to study local, regional and global seismicity
to learn more about the physics of earthquakes and to gain a deeper
understanding of plate tectonics. The Colt can be used in
Earthquake Early Warning (EEW) applications as well as in
monitoring and cataloging earthquake activity.
The small, lightweight, vault quality Colt sensor weighs only 12
pounds and can easily be carried in one hand or in a backpack.
During transit, a shock resistant housing and robust automatic mass
locking system protects the internal components. In addition, the
Colt's low-power consumption means fewer batteries are required for
portable or permanent vault deployments.
The REF TEK Colt's exceptional performance makes the sensor
ideal for a wide range of seismic monitoring applications. The
seismometer operates with low self-noise and features a large
dynamic range to enable the sensor to quietly observe and measure
high-quality ground motion data. The Colt sets a new industry
standard for low noise performance in a compact form factor.
The sensor also provides unique alignment tools for quick field
setup. Successful setups depend on precise directional alignment;
the REF TEK Colt makes that easy with north/south pointers
installed in the base of the unit to make orientation to the scribe
line effortless.
"Scientific and academic researchers require light-weight,
compact, portable sensors that enable quick deployment while
maintaining vault-quality data performance. The REF TEK Colt is an
economical sensor with industry-leading performance," said
Shawn Hilliard, business area
director of Trimble Monitoring Solutions. "Its noise performance is
exceptional in this size category and the ease of use and
installation makes this a versatile instrument, providing research
scientists with robust data, and enabling our customers to do more
with their budgets."
