3 First encounters
3.1 Unpacking and packing
The 6TD seismometer is delivered in a single transportation case. The
packaging is specifically designed for the 6TD 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. For
each instrument in the packaging, you should have received:
•
the seismometer;
•
the breakout box (which provides separate connections for the signal,
control and power lines);
•
a Güralp GPS receiver unit with mounting rod;
•
a waterproof IEEE.1394 (FireWire) cable;
•
a 15 metre GPS cable, with six-pin bayonet connectors at both ends;
•
a power supply cable, with bare wires at one end and a ten-pin bayonet
socket at the other;
•
a serial data cable, with a standard nine-pin D connector at one end and
a ten-pin bayonet plug at the other; and
•
a calibration and installation sheet.
If you have ordered several instruments with a “smart” case, you can test
them together using power and data distribution units inside the case: see
section 3.3 on page 14.
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,
•
a nineteen-way bayonet plug for data, power and GPS signals;
•
a six-way bayonet plug for the FireWire interface;
•
if fitted, a six-way bayonet plug for the Ethernet interface;
•
if fitted, an antenna connector for the Wi-Fi interface;
•
a spirit level,
•
three feet (two adjustable, and one fixed), and
•
two accurate orientation pins (one brass and one steel).
If the Wi-Fi interface is fitted, you will also be supplied with a small aerial for
testing purposes.
