DATA-CUBE³ 

 
The DATA-CUBE³ is available as Type 1 (int) and Type 2 (ext). Choosing the right DATA-CUBE³ type depends 
on the intended application and usage scenarios. Both types are electronically identical except for the internal 
vs. external GPS antenna and internal/external power supply. 
 

2.1. 

DATA-CUBE³ Type 1 (int) 

 

 
 

 

 

Features: 

 

Internal GPS antenna located under top cover 

 

Internal power supply (2x D-cells for up to 2 weeks operation) or external power supply 
 

Typical applications: 

 

Active seismic measurements and short campaigns with a recording time of up to ~2 weeks (continu-
ous recording of 3 channels @ 100sps using 2 D-cell alkaline batteries) 

 

Outdoor installation with direct 

visibility

 of GPS satellites 

 

Optionally:  Long-term,  outdoor  deployments  with  external  power  supply  (internal  batteries  are  to  be 
removed) 

 

Vault or tunnel installations without continuous GPS (see 9.3 Field Installation9.3)
