Features and advantages

• A new quad-core computer module that runs a stable Linux operating system
• A Wizard mode that facilitates the setup of measurements
• Improved battery solution (Li-Ion) and power connectors

But above all – an upgraded up-to-date user interface that will improve the user experience of the seismograph. The Terraloc Pro 2 provides improved new functionality in conjunction with the best of the previous version − all wrapped together in one efficient solution.

A Standalone system

The ABEM Terraloc Pro 2 is a standalone seismograph and comes with a built-in computer, data storage, measurement channels and user interface. Measurements are conducted using a graphical interface with a look and feel that is familiar. The seismograph is enclosed in an aluminium casing that is rugged and robust, meeting IEC IP 66 classifications so that measurements can be made in all situations and environments. ABEM Terraloc Pro 2 seismograph is equipped with GPS, WiFi, Ethernet and USB.

Seismic Radio Trigger

In situations that prevent standard triggering options the in-house built seismic radio trigger is the ideal solution. Designed to work with a trigger geophone at the source with the receiver at the instrument producing a simple closure. Compact and lightweight the transmitter and receiver can be slipped into a pocket between setups. Self-contained with re-chargeable, internal batteries for simple operation.
