i Geophone Alarm Level
The alarm level controls the triggering of an optional Remote Alarm Controller, Part No.
721A0902 for Series III and Series IV).
The remote alarm can sound two alarms: warning and alarm. The warning alarm sounds when
Event activity exceeds the Trigger Level for the Geophone. The alarm level can be set to a
different level that is higher than the trigger level of the Geophone. This allows for the triggering
of a second alarm at the higher level.
For example, in pile driving operations the remote alarm triggers a warning when activity exceeds
the trigger level for the Geophone, notifying the operator that the pile driving activity has
exceeded that set level. The second alarm triggers when activity exceeds the alarm level, set to a
higher level, notifying the operator to re-evaluate the piling operation.
To set an alarm level, double click on the Alarm Level box. Enter the new level that is within the
stated range (Range: 0.508 – 254 mm/s).
ii Microphone Alarm Level
For a description of the optional remote alarm, see the Geophone channel in the previous section.
To set an alarm level, click on the Microphone Alarm Level box. Enter the new level that is
within the stated range (Range: 100.0 – 148 dB(L)).
