Güralp 3TB

Inside the 3TB

In the five-stage process, each mass in turn is locked with a motorised micrometer
(stages 1, 2, 4), and the

N/S

and

E/W

sensor bases are tilted to their end stops (stages

3 and 5). At some point during each tilting stage, the position of the relevant mass
will flip to one or other side.

The

BUSY

LED is lit during each stage, but goes out briefly between stages, allowing

you to follow the progress of the lock.

6.2.2 UNLOCK

This command unlocks the sensor masses and prepares the instrument to begin
operating.

UNLOCK

is activated when the masses are already unlocked, the processor will

lock them and attempt to unlock again. This is useful if you suspect that the locking
procedure has failed.

During the

UNLOCK

procedure, the instrument automatically performs a round of

centring for each component.
