SYSCOM Instruments International

SYSCOM MR3000SB Structures & Buildings Monitoring System provides a complete strong-motion and vibration monitoring network inside a building. The system can be used not only for earthquake monitoring, but also to evaluate structural damage and human comfort in case of construction sites close to the building. Typical installations include a daisy chain network of three or more stations at the foundation, middle and top floor of the building, in compliance with most of the international standards.

The MS2008+ is a triaxial high dynamic range accelerometer based on state-of-the art MEMS technology. Its small dimensions, rugged and splash-proof design and excellent long term stability make the MS2008+ the perfect match for seismic monitoring in dams, buildings and other structures. The micro-machined capacitive MEMS sensor, thanks to its flat frequency and phase response together with the very low short- and long-term drift provides true engineering data that require no post-processing. The MS2008+ from SYSCOM comes factory calibrated, equipped with a fully comprehensive self-test function and requires no re-calibration.

The MR2002-SM24-K is a Strong Motion Recorder that meets the standards for safety related applications. Its high dynamic range and its ability to calculate Seismic Intensity (CAV) continuously makes it particularly suitable for both free field and structural monitoring.

The MS2007+ triaxial force balance accelerometer (FBA) uses the latest technology of force balance feedback to compensate the drawbacks in the mechanical characteristics of traditional sensors, such as non-linear distortion and limited sensitivity due to elastic behavior of the mechanical components. The MS2007+ features very high sensitivity, broad linear range and high resolution. The design integrates mechanical parts and electronics, resulting in consistent technical parameters, a rugged design, reliable performance, light weight and small volume. The MS2007+ with a built-in calibration circuit to facilitate self-testing and automatic calibration in the field.

MR3000C is a compact vibrationmotion measurement system built in a rugged SYSCOM RED BOX. The MR3000C is equipped with a new generation of electronic components, keeping the best features of the MR2002, but adding new ones, such as a reduction in size and weight and an increased computing power.MR3000C has been designed for different temporary and fixed measurements in the civil engineering and strong-motion surveys.

The NCC2002 Network Control Center enables the interconnection of up to 16 MRSK2002 or MR2002-SM24-K Strong Motion Recorders in a star topology network. Data acquisition and recording is performed by the MRs, acting as autonomous units. Their activities are coordinated by the NCC, which continuously monitors the operating status of each MR in the network and performs common trigger, time synchronization (common sampling) and high and low level alarms activation. The alarm combinations and levels, as well as the common trigger configurations, are all individually programmable. The NCC acts as a software switch to provide normal access to any MR in the network. The NCC may be connected directly to a computer for online monitoring and automatic data retrieval (EMON software), data analysis (EAW software) and Email alerting (EMAIL software).
