Ultra portable, lightweight, Robust seismometer with lifting handle and easy access to electric connection. Direct velocity output broadband feedback seismometer. Extremely easy and quick to install. Suitable for local, regional and teleseismic recording. Extremely robust, mass clamp not required. Long period response 1 second (other options available). Short period response up to 100 Hz. Low power consumption, less than 0.5 Watts Mass centering not required 2 * 1000 V/m/s Output sensitivity (other options available).

The CMG-6T-1 portable broadband seismometer is a three component seismometer of rugged design. The unit is designed to meet the requirements of rapid installation, minium setting up and optimum sensitivity and dynamic range. The sensor is completely waterproof and self contained apart from external dc power supply and recording device (digital output version available). For strength, portability and long term durability it is constructed from hard anodized aluminum. For Local regional and telesesimic including aftershock and refraction monitoring applications, the seismometer used must be linear and free of spurious modes of resonances. The sensor must also be robust and easily installable in the field the CMG-6T-1 has been designed to meet all of these requirements. CMG-6T-1 is a robust feedback broadband seismometer, which has a very high loop gain to eliminate mechanical non-linearity and also to minimizes the resonance's of the spring system. The CMG-6T-1sensor has frequency response from 1 second to 100 Hz. CMG-6T-1 first spurious mode is barely measurable and it is set at 440Hz. Unlike geophones or sensor systems based on geophone type suspension CMG-6T-1 sensor has no twisting (rotating) modes, rocking modes or buckling modes which makes the sensor ideally suitable for after shock monitoring and also for week motion monitoring. For example, a 1 second geophone will have spurious modes of resonance's about 14 to 20 Hz and a 2Hz geophone spurious modes are at 30 to 50 Hz. These spurious modes can be easily excited when cross axis wave front hits the geophone sensor especially if these sensors are to be used for quick deployment and installed without special care. The linearity of CMG-6T-1 vertical suspension system exceeds 90 dB. CMG-6T-1 suspension system is identical to that used in CMG-3 sensor which has linearity exceeding 115 dB. Additionally the CMG-6T-1 sensor has a linear response up to and exceeding 100 Hz.
