Back To Products Page Terraloc Mk 8 A seismograph building on decades of experience paired with latest technology to satisfy your highest demands! Powerful yet portable – all you need in one case No limits but the ingenuity of the operator At its best both in the field and in the office Your faithful companion wherever your job takes you Utilizes all types of sensors and energy sources Ideal for all types of applications in shallow seismics as refraction, reflection, cross-hole, surface wave investigations Powerful yet portable – all you need in one case Terraloc is a compact, and complete seismograph with all you need to collect your seismic data in single casing. Just add geophones, cable and power. To allow for your most stringent environmental demands Terraloc is housed in a rugged die-cast Aluminum casing to ensure highest performance and reliability wherever you go. Rain, heat, dust, sleet or snow? Not to worry. Your Terraloc can be operated anywhere, anytime.   To further protect the instrument there are as few openings as ever possible. Instead of incorporating a power thirsty and sensitive hardcopy printer in the design, which would have induced another hole in the casing, the built-in PC with its associated daylight visible screen let you inspect your data as you go. All this, without exposing the interior of the instrument to environmental hazards through printer or breathing openings. Store the data on the built-in hard disk for later printing or data transfer. However, should you need a hardcopy of your record in the field, just connect a standard battery operated printer, whenever you need.   With its only opening securely closed the Terraloc meet protection standard IP 66 under operation. After a day in the field filled with grit and dirt, hose down your Terraloc before you bring it into your car or office and you are immediately ready for post processing or printing.   Key features of Terraloc are not only reliability and field worthiness but also to offer you a powerful seismograph that has advantages as:   Wide range of sampling rates, from 25 us to 2 ms – Fast enough for crosshole Record lengths ranging from 3.2 ms to 32.7 seconds – Long enough for Moho studies On-site geophone and cable testing – Enhances in the field QC Real time noise monitoring, display as bar graphs or waterfall – Measure at optimum Wide choice of multi- or single trace view modes – Fast and detailed analysis Frequency spectrum analysis – Allows you to check where your filters should be set. Refractor velocity indication – Quick check of targets found and much more. Check the spec’s on the last page for more details   At its best both in the field and in the office   Check the layout of the panel – Designed for use in the field Terraloc Mk 8 will let you control the field operation with a few keystrokes when you run it in acquisition mode. For more advanced data management connect an external keyboard and a mouse to gain full access to Windows XP.   The back of the panel has a full set of connectors conveniently located. The connectors are water proofed and sealed, and are further protected by the dust covers when not in use.       Should your field operations not allow you to post-process your data in the office the onboard powerful PC will let you run interpretation software on-site. Any software running under Windows XP can be installed and used. Let us know what you plan to do and we can suggest a software that will help you reach your goal. ABEM has agreements with several well renowned suppliers of software for interpretation of geophysical data.     Your faithful companion wherever your job takes you   Seismics is a powerful tool whenever you aim to investigate the mechanical properties of the ground. The use of seismics ranges from micro-seismics investigating the integrity of concrete constructions to measuring the properties and thickness of the earths crust. Terraloc is designed to envelope the full range with a focus in the sector of near surface geophysics.       The near surface geophysics (NSG), which covers the uppermost layers, may be considered shallow with the deep investigations kept in mind. However, what also should be kept in mind is that NSG investigations most often demand more of the equipment. A Terraloc must be ready to operate wherever its operator wants to go.   Utilizes all types of sensors and energy sources   Terraloc accepts input from all types of seismic sensors. Pick the geophone frequency that your project requires and Terraloc will not only connect to it, it will on your demand produce a geophone test that you store in a record for your report. If you are working in boreholes or the wet zone, shallow or deep, you may need to use pressure sensitive sensors as transducers. Terraloc will take these on too!        A variety of energy sources are used for today’s seismic work. Terraloc accepts a wide range of triggers, analogue, i.e. from a regular geophone or ABEM’s trigger coil, contact closure or opening and Transistor to Transistor Logic. The TTL is a handy feature if you use a vibrator. Most of the marine energy sources as sparkers and boomers also require a TTL coupling.          Brochures Download Terraloc Mk8 Specification Download Terraloc Mk 8 Technical Specification You need Adobe Reader to read the file, the reader can be downloaded down below.
