Description

The ES-3000 Exploration Seismograph is a full featured seismograph for a fraction of the price of other seismograph systems. The ES-3000 is capable of acquiring data on up to 24 channels. If you are a geoscientist teaching or performing research, or need to perform simple seismic surveys such as depth to bedrock exploration, the ES-3000 is for you. Use the ES-3000 for refraction, MASW/MAM, downhole, crosshole, or tomography surveys, as well as for more niche use cases such as earthquake, quarry blasts, or heavy equipment monitoring.

The system includes ESOS data acquisition software and the ES-3000 seismodule connects directly to your PC via the Ethernet port – no additional hardware or drivers are required. Use your laptop to view, record and even process your data using our software like SeisImager/2D-STD. The ES-3000 is shock-proof, dust-proof, submersible and able to withstand extreme temperatures. Engineered to last, we confidently offer a 3-year warranty for each new ES-3000 sold, an industry leading offer.
