FAQ

Q: Can this seismoprobe be used with non-Bently Nevada monitoring systems?
A: It is optimized for Bently Nevada systems, but can be adapted with appropriate signal conditioning for other platforms.

Q: What is the maximum vibration level it can reliably measure?
A: The sensor operates within the velocity and frequency range specified; extreme vibrations may require additional attenuation or isolation.

Q: How does it compare to the 16699‑01‑02‑02 model?
A: The 16699‑03‑02‑02 offers similar rugged performance but may include minor improvements in frequency response and environmental tolerance.
