Ultra-Low Power Seismic Recorder

The Australian National University developed LPR-200 is a 3 channel, 24bit, ultra-low power seismic digitizer designed for remote geological surveying. The unit boasts a power consumption of just 200mW recording at 100 sps. The unit is housed in a rugged, portable, water resistant case with a removable lithium-iron-phosphate battery, making it suitable for installations such as aftershock monitoring. With a run time in excess of 4 months when powering a 120mW seismometer, the unit is ideal for long term remote area deployment. The system incorporates a simple to use graphical user interface with live seismometer plot to allow for rapid deployment.
