3.1.1 Unpacking
The 3ESPCD seismometer is delivered in a single transportation case. The
packaging is specifically designed for the 3ESPCD and should be reused
whenever you need to transport the sensor. Please note any damage to the
packaging when you receive the equipment, and unpack on a safe, clean
surface. The package should contain:
•
the seismometer;
•
a GPS unit, if ordered, with cable;
•
a 10-pin connector for your power/data lead (see below); and
•
a calibration and installation sheet.
Assuming all the parts are present, stand the seismometer in the centre of a
bench and identify its external features:
•
a handle with North indication,
•
DATA OUT and GPS connectors;
•
a mil-spec FireWire connector;
•
other optional connectors as ordered;
•
a bubble level,
•
an air vent port,
•
two adjustable feet, and
•
two accurate orientation pins (one brass and one steel).
3.1.2 Serial number
The sensor's serial number can be found on the label stuck to the top lid of the
sensor. You should quote this serial number if you need assistance from
Güralp Systems.
3.1.3 Handling notes
The 3ESPCD is a sensitive instrument, and is easily damaged if mishandled.
If you are at all unsure about the handling or installation of the device, you
should contact Güralp Systems for assistance.

Avoid bumping or jolting any part of the sensor when handling or
unpacking.
