INSTALLATION OF A SEISMOMETER |
 |
Monitoring equipment was brought to the site for installation.
|
 |
The silver, cylindrical seismometer was placed on the concrete
floor of the building and oriented to align with corresponding
compass points.
|
|
Team members ran a cable to connect the seismometer to
communications interface equipment housed in the orange metal
box. The interface equipment allows the transmission of the data
collected by the seismometer back to SMU.
|
 |
The team used a laptop to “unlock” the seismometer, level it,
and confirm that all three sensors were recording ground motion.
|
 |
After installing a GPS on the outside of the building,
the team connected the modem via cable through the wall to the
communications interface equipment.

Hayward logged in from the field to make sure the data was
being received at SMU. |
