Seismic Control System
This tri-axial sensor system detects and identifies earthquake seismic patterns. The system provides an immediate signal to perform any number of lifesaving tasks or to initiate specific disaster mitigation programs and equipment.
Key Features:
- Rigorous quality control with 45 individual tests per unit
- Accuracy to +/- 0.005 G from 1 to 10HZ
- Industry leading discrimination of earthquake signatures
- Low cost system
- Rapid installation
- Interfaces with fire alarm systems
System Functions:
- Shutdown machinery and heavy equipment
- Deactivate access control systems or delayed egress doors
- Initiate specific pre-planned emergency evacuation orders
- Communicate specific alarms to outside resources and emergency responders
- Initiate dust control and positive ventilation systems
- Report an accurate range of seismic energy absorbed by the structure
