Seismic Tromino BLU Seismograph

The Tromino BLU is the newest model of the ENGY -  a small, lightweight, 3-channel, all-in-one seismograph specifically designed for the dynamic characterization of subsoils with the highest accuracy and the lowest effort. This very adaptable device has applications for both geology and engineering (modal analysis for structures). 

Typical geologic uses might be:

• Mapping subsoil resonance frequencies (H/V technique)
• Modeling H/V curves to obtain shear wave velocity profiles (Vs) in the presence of independent constraints.
  
• Vs/Vp profiles from MASW or seismic refraction with a single receiver + radio trigger.
• Performing MASW or seismic refraction surveys with just one TROMINO^® and no connecting cables!
• Creating passive seismic imaging of the subsoil.

The system is equipped with:

• 3 velocimetric channels for seismic ambient microtremor and strong vibrations, 6 amplification levels (saturation from ±0.5 mm/s to ±40 mm/s in band)
• 3 accelerometric channels (dynamic range: ±2g, background noise: ~±40 µg) The final output results from 4 accelerometers per axis
• 1 analog channel (e.g., external trigger for MASW/refraction)
• Sampling rates 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048, 4096 Hz on all channels
• 16 Gbyte storage
• Internal rechargeable battery
• 2 sets of spikes for sensor-soil coupling
• Typical frequency bank  0.1-500 Hz
• Built-in GPS receiver, internal and/or external antenna for positioning and absolute timing/synchronization among different units
• Built-in radio transmitter/receiver module for indoor/outdoor synchronization among different units and alarm transmission (e.g., signal above threshold levels)
• Built-in calibration and check-up system
• Operating range: 0.1 - 1024 Hz on all channels with A/D conversion at 24 real bits
• Remote control of TROMINO^® via Bluetooth^®. Management of all functions from mobile devices.
  • The new TROMINO^® APP for the remote control of TROMINO^® works also with voice commands. Useful for the applications that require to start/stop the recordings at poorly accessible sites and to control the state of the instrument at any time.
