Kinemetrics Episensor ES-T Accelerometer

Salient Features:

The Kinemetrics EpiSensor force-balanced accelerometer is a uniaxial surface package designed primarily for structural engineering applications. However, it can be used in a variety of applications for measuring accelerations up to ±4g and down to the ambient noise level. With full-scale recording ranges of ± 0.25 to ± 4g (user selectable) the EpiSensor provides on-scale recording of earthquake motions even at near-fault locations and in a wide variety of structure types.

Installation Tips:

Do not change the EpiSensor's gain in the field.  This is best done before you are shipped the equipment.  It is best to work with EPIC staff well in advance of the shipping date to define the accelerometer response that best meets your needs..
