Intrinsically safe geophone sensors GVx and GHx of the ARAMIS M/E system designed for measuring the velocity of ground vibrations.
Operating position and mounting type:
GVu – vertical operation, mounted on the roof,
GVd – vertical operation, mounted on the floor,
GHa – horizontal operation.
The PPV version (sensors GVu-P, GVd-P and GHa-P) includes sensitivity limitation of the probe, preventing output signal saturation at ground movement velocities of 1 m/s.
The sensors are intrinsically safe devices of Group I, Category M1.
