Velocity Type Strong

Motion Seismometer

General
The TSM-1 Velocity Type Strong-Motion
TSM - 1
Seismometer incorporates three built-in seismic
sensors including two for horizontal direction and
one for vertical direction. The TSM-1’ s wide
frequency and dynamic range capability can
handle the full spectrum of seismic disturbances,
from microtremors to large earthquakes.
The Seismometer’ s highly sensitive, all-purpose
enclosed triaxial design provides superior mobility,
which makes it easy to set up at temporary
observation stations.
