Short-period seismometer CME-3311

The three-component low-noise short-period seismometer CME-3311 is featured with a low self-noise, high gain, low power consumption. Its dynamic range is 118 dB at 1 Hz, maximum installation tilt is ±15°.


It is reliable and has no moving parts to be broken or wear out. 

Like other molecular-electronic seismometers, this model does not require mass centering for installation and mass locking for transportation. The seismometer is well-suited for portable and permanent installations in locations with the background noise close to the Low Noise Model. 

It can be used in seismology, seismic exploration, engineering geophysics and vibrational monitoring. 

The 1-component (vertical, horizontal) version is available.

The CME-3311 frequency characteristic with the poles and zeros presentation is available at the link of Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology (IRIS).
