Required Supplies
!
Adequate length and appropriate type of pre-assembled cable for
connecting the EpiSensor to the recorder. If custom cable is
required, refer to Chapter 6. Depending on the length required, you
might have purchased either Kinemetrics P/N 700045 or the
Belden cable stocked by Kinemetrics as P/N 840356.
!
Heat-shrink tubing (1/4" diameter), cable tie-wraps, and electrical
tape.
!
Mounting anchor (supplied with the EpiSensor).
!
FerriShields (optional)
!
EpiSensor Packing Foam for Thermal Shield (optional supplied
with the EpiSensor)
!
Heavy Duty Aluminum Duct Tape (optional for Thermal Shield)
Required Equipment
!
Battery-powered digital volt meter (DVM)
!
Compass for checking the orientation of the sensors.
!
Camera to photograph the completed installations for the
commissioning report (recommended).
Mounting & Orienting the
EpiSensor
Determine which direction to orient the EpiSensor: true north or "aligned-
with-structure." True north is typical of most free-field EpiSensor
installations.
If the instrument is installed in a structure, it is normally aligned parallel to
the structure's main axis. If possible, keep the same orientation for all
EpiSensors installed in the same building.
Anchor the EpiSensor to a concrete floor or slab or a secure, structural
element such as a steel beam in a building.
Note
: To accurately record strong ground motions of > 0.1g, it is
essential
that the EpiSensor be anchored to the structure or slab.
This is contrary to weak motion installations where sensors are just
placed on the ground and leveled. In weak motion, the weight of
the instrument and friction between the feet and floor ensure
accurate reproduction of ground motion. This is not the case at high
acceleration levels, which can cause an unsecured instrument to
move relative to the ground.
Keep a permanent record of the orientation you choose. This information is
crucial to the proper analysis of EpiSensor data.
