Monitran launches the MTN/1450 high-sensitivity seismic accelerometer

High Wycombe, United Kingdom - 24th May 2007 - Monitran, a world leader in the design and manufacture of vibration sensors, has launched a high-sensitivity, low-frequency seismic accelerometer. The MTN/1450 serves three key markets: geological surveying, structural engineering and any other industry where even the slightest vibrations may affect results (for example, semiconductor manufacture).

The sensitivity of the MTN/1450 is 10V/g ±10% and it operates over the frequency range 50mHz to 500Hz (3 – 30,000 cycles per minute). It features low-pass filtering, which eliminates high-frequency noise, and is supplied with a low-noise power unit and amplifier with user-selectable gains of 1, 10 and 100.

Neill Ovenden, Monitran’s Sales & Marketing Director, comments: “Employing the MTN/1450, users can measure and monitor low amplitude and low frequency vibrations that would otherwise not be detectable using traditional industrial accelerometers. Also, our recently announced VI-sage hardware and web-based product means near real-time vibration levels can be made available, on the web, for academic research or for business purposes.”
