ABOUT THE PRODUCT
Quick and reliable initial response for earthquake disaster prevention can be achieved by getting correct seismic intensity information.
When an earthquake occurs, the GP-888 automatically measures and displays the seismic scale which is categorized into ten steps:
- Scarcely
- Slightly felt
- Weak
- Moderately Strong
- Strong
- Very Strong
- Destructive
- Very Destructive
- Devastating
- Completely Devastating
By utilizing the algorithms that is specified by PHILVOLCS (Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology). It is officially certified by JMA (Japan Meteorological Agency) as a seismic accelerograph accelerometer and intensity meter. It has many functions other than measuring and displaying the earthquake intensity. It can record and store the various data that are associated with earthquake, and those data are routed to its host system since it is equipped with data communication function. In addition to that, the machine has an “earthquake warning system” which is an optional feature that can be calibrated in the system as an “early earthquake detection function”.
PRODUCT FEATURES
- Officially certified product by JMA (Japan Meteorological Agency) as a seismic intensity meter.
- Early earthquake detection function. It is capable of having a calculation feature that functions on basis of estimation algorithm under the earthquake early warning seismometer while taking into consideration various earthquake factors. (optional function)
Note: The algorithm is a joint patent together with Railway Technical Research Institute and JMA. - Compatible with network. The GP-888 supports various protocols such as TCP/IP, FTP, Telnet etc. In addition, it allows dial-up connection with using optional modem unit.
- Can increase speed of information processing with real time calculation algorithm of seismic intensity. The feature of advance announcement function which enables it to start data transfer of the earthquake to host system after 2.5 seconds from start of seismic trigger, it allows to create an immediate warning network system. (our own patent: No. 3241486)
- Achieves high dynamic range of over 130dB by the high performance A/D (analog digital) conversion technology. Since it adopts a 24-bit delta sigma A/D converter, the high accuracy measurement data can be achieved by its high dynamic range which can bring the properties of acceleration sensor into full performance.
- Expandable memory card for recording data. Option to have 1GB or 32GB. The recording for a huge amount of data for earthquake information and seismic waveform can be stored in a compact flash card/memory card. This feature allows us to utilize data analysis when using a computer.
- Color liquid crystal display (LCD) provides a high level of visibility. It adopts a 5.7 inch color LCD with touch screen feature, therefore it makes it possible for the interactive configuration of data display or operation setup.
