This makesthem usefulforthe analysis anddetection of teleseismicearthquakesas well as techniquesinvolvingambientnoise. However, theyare also well-suited for measuringhigh-frequencyenergy, limitedonly by the Nyquistfrequencyofthe [[data logger>>doc:Instrumentation.ANU LPR-200.WebHome]]'s samplingrate. The downside to broadband sensors is usually their cost,size, and fragility relative to short-periodsensors.7 +We usually pack equipment on pallets, in transporter cases, or in boxes. This depends on a range of factors, including: 8 8 9 -== Nanometrics == 9 +* staff and facilities available at your institute 10 +* shipping method (air, sea, road/rail) 11 +* access for inspectors en route (e.g., customs or dangerous goods). 10 10 11 - Currently,4 kindsof nanometricbroadband seismic sensorsareavailable. TheTrillium Compact 120s, TrilliumCompact20s, Trillium CompactPosthole,andmost recently,theTrilliumCompactHorizon. Theseseismometers areidealforlong-termdeployments ofmultiplemonths. Allof theseseismometersare compatiblewith theLPR-200 and TSAWRloggersandaredesignedforlow energyconsumption.13 +In most instances, we provide dimensions for the borrower to quote and book freight directly with their preferred carrier. This simplifies billing and insurance arrangements. However, we will still assist with technical details throughout your booking if needed. 12 12 13 - ===TrilliumCompact120s===15 +Directions for return freight will be provided with your Supply Agreement. 14 14 15 - The Trillium Compact 120s has sensitivity band between 120 seconds and 100 Hz but is prone to corrosion when buried for long periods.

It does NOT have leveling feet nor a bubble (**bring your own!**), nor can its mass be rebalanced. The cable is also quite a bit more stiff so may require burial at an increased depth. If installed inside a vault, the cable may also unbalance the sensor if left by itself. The instrument response is identical to a Trillium Compact 120. 29 +1. Brush off as much dirt as possible. 30 +1. Inspect crevices for insects, eggs, seeds, etc. 31 +1. Wipe instruments clean if placing directly into foam or textile cases. 28 28 29 - Formoreinformation, referto the [[Nanometrics Trillium Compact PHinformationsheet>>https://nanometrics.ca/hubfs/Downloads/Data%20Sheets/trillium_compact_ph.pdf?hsLang=en-ca]]33 +===== **Before packing equipment for return:** ===== 30 30 31 -=== Trillium Compact Horizon === 35 +1.

Let everything dry well before packing. 32 32 33 -The Trillium Compact Horizon is sort of a mix between the Posthole and Compact 120, ideal for shallow direct bury deployments or instances where packing weight and size is an important consideration.

We recommend 'cleaning as you go' to minimise movement of organic material, and this includes movement back to our territory and campus. We understand this wasn't always considered necessary, and appreciate how quickly and willingly the community has adapted to this change. 40 40 41 - Short-period(SP) sensorshavelimitedsensitivity tolonger periods, but are otherwise perfectlysuitablefor earthquakeorotherhigh-frequencyanalysis. They aregenerallydefined as anyinstrumentthat beginsto**lose sensitivityat periods largerthan 10 seconds**.They tendtobe smallerand more mechanically robustto broadbandsensors.51 +Your efforts also directly improve our research and support capacity, as dirty returns complicate operations in our lab and workshop. 42 42 43 -=== Lennartz Electronic LE-3D Lite (MkII) === 53 +(% class="wikigeneratedid" id="HHowcleaniscleanenough3F" %) 54 +**How clean is clean enough?** 44 44 45 - TheLE-3D Lite are small,robust,shortperiodsensorswith aa cornerperiod of1second.56 +We will post some example photos soon from our 2025/2026 summer backlog, indicating the standards considered reasonable for low-risk returns. 46 46 47 - ===SmartSoloShortperiods===58 +There will often be a few missed spots, which is why we do a second check before testing, and a third check before packing for the next experiment. 48 48 49 - Two types of SmartSolo brand seismometers are currently available, one of which is a short-period seismometer with corner frequency of 5 Hz.
