The VE-5x, now a legacy product, was a triaxial short period seismometer designed for seismic monitoring applications.
The VE-5x seismometer was based on a state of the art geophone mass-spring system with electronic feedback which offered a remarkable stability under temperature fluctuations or against aging. In addition, due to the innovative design of the unit, no mass locking was required.
With the help of the TEST LINE the VE-5x-DH seismometer could be completely tested assuring proper operation.
The downhole housing contained the entire sensor system. The sensor was connected through an Overvoltage Protection stage to the recorder at the surface with a cable.
By using inclinometer tubes and the provided guide wheels, the sensor could be oriented before insertion in the hole.
