SMC-1850
High Temperature Geophone

All units tested at 200° C
Ideal for VSP, tri-axial and
gimbal downhole operations
Full one year warranty
Small size, high output
Patented PCB header
100% burn-in of basic units
The SMC-1850 High Temperature Geophone has been tested at 200°C for more than 300 hours with no loss in performance specifications. Its design structure and super strength magnetic field makes the output of this small geophone equal to or greater than the output of larger units. Rotating dual coil construction withstands severe shocks and rough handling. The patented PCB header provides easy and reliable electrical connections.

Standard natural frequencies are 10, 14, and 30 Hz. Coil resistance is 1850 ohms. All units are available in both vertical and horizontal models, and are ideal for VSP, tri-axial and gimbal downhole operations.

Note: For testing on SMT-200 Geophone Tester, the frequency, resistance and damping tolerances entered must be 1% greater than the published specification above. Sensitivity tolerance entered must be 2% greater than the published specification.

All specifications apply to measurements made after a heat cycle of 200°C and after unit returns to room temperature (25°C). Units will operate at larger tilt angles, but performance will not necessarily meet specifications. Note: The SMC-1850 is NOT hermetically sealed.
