Gecko SMA-HR is a modern technlogies of Accelerograph that combined recorder and acceleration sensor that can be fixed to a structure with a single central bolt. The low-noise SMA-HR uses an integrated optical feedback accelerometer providing an all-in-one package that continuously records data in a ring buffer so that when the earthquake eventually strikes you know you’ll have captured all of the data. Such high sensitivity enables the monitoring of the natural frequency and modal response of a structure, critical for improving building safety.

GECKO Strong Motion Accelerograph Digital recorder that has a built-in user interface for set up in the field without the need for laptop, tablet or phone. The 3+1 channel Gecko Compact is a research-grade data logger at a budget price, with a splash resistant body suited for installation inside shelters or vaults. It is also available in a cylindrical waterproof body design as used by our digital sensors for outdoor monitoring applications., Stream live data using an Ethernet+WiFi adaptor, cellular modem, USB cable, or GeckoLink (SeedLink) server.

GECKO SMA has also had a variant called GEO-2F uses 2Hz components and has 5° tilt tolerance during installation. The lower cost GEO-5F has a 4.5Hz low-end response and 2° tilt tolerance, and the GEO-XF uses a 14Hz components but can be installed at any angle. The 2Hz sensor is perfect as a low cost high sensitivity earthquake sensor when paired with a recorder capable of high gain (small voltage) inputs, or when set for maximum range can detect over 700mm/s of ground motion in blast and other vibration monitoring applications.
