Strong motion instruments

CMG-5

strong-motion accelerometers
The CMG-5T accelerometer is a high (>155 dB) dynamic range instrument with output sensitivity from 0.1 g to 4 g (user-selectable). This robust instrument requires no levelling, and can be securely fixed to any surface with a single central bolt. Simultaneous high and low gain outputs are provided to realise the full dynamic range of the instrument.

The CMG-5TD is a fully digital triaxial accelerometer based on a CMG-5 sensor combined with an integrated DM-24 high resolution digitizer. The full range of Flash storage and triggering options is available for the CMG-5TD, including external triggering. The 5TD can be supplied with a removable, reusable base plate (pictured) for secure mounting. The CMG-5U is a versatile, compact uniaxial instrument with direct analogue output, designed for installation within buildings. It can be mounted in any orientation, vertical or horizontal, with a simple offset adjustment.

The CMG-DM24S12AMS monitoring system

The CMG-DM24S12AMS is a self-contained acquisition and monitoring system, designed for use with 12 CMG-5U uniaxial accelerometers distributed around a structure.

CMG-5U sensors GPS 12 analogue inputs

Analogue data and sensor power Maximum cable length 100m Modules available to extend cable up to 200m

In combination with an external digital instrument (e.g. a CMG5TD) for measuring true ground motion, the uniaxial sensors provide high-quality data suitable for modal analysis and modelling. 12-channel digitising capacity External digital inputs GPS distribution 8 auxiliary 16-bit channels On-board laptop PC with Scream! acquisition software Connectivity through modem, LAN, or USB Mains, battery, or external DC power The CMG-DM24S12 is a similar unit, but lacking the on-board PC. Data from the DM24S12 can be relayed over a serial link to a DCM for storage, or to your own systems. Other self-contained systems can be produced to your specification.
