3 axis simultaneous measurement of seismic waveform or low frequency vibration
A new acceleration sensor mobile supports enhanced applications, including measurement of long-period ground motion and health monitoring of large structures.
Features
- ■ High precision long period vibration measurement capability
-
Operation verification at low frequency 0.04 by AIST* has proven that HM-0013 can detect the long-ground motion accurately.
*AIST: National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology.
- ■ High precision micro motion measurement capability
-
Because micro vibration up to 0.1 gal is measurable, it is also used for evaluation of floor vibration in addition to seismic monitoring.
- ■ Versatile monitoring functions
-
-
- Data loss recovery for power failure
Recording for seismic motion must survive even power failure occurs.
To meet this need, HM-0013 carries the memory with no limitation on writing frequency which won’t be lost in power failure.
-
- RS485 Modbus communication
- In case of HM-0013 connected in series, power is provided by the host, up to 4 pcs connection within total 80 m is possible. By using power junction box between connections, it can extend the cable length and increase the number of connecting units. If the hardware owned by user supports Modbus communication, it can customize the system construction with provided data map by IMV.
-
- Synchronization designated line
- Synchronization in multi-point measurement is very important and HM-0013 is designed for those analysis is easily carried out. Complete synchronization is possible since the each unit secures designated line for synchronization. Synchronization for all measured data is secured with simultaneous AD conversion in each axis.
-
- Self-check function
- Operation check from HM-0013 internal sensor or output function. For example, it checks if the unit is correctly operated from remote place once in a day.
-
- Host loss recovery function
- After the condition is set and the measurement starts, even the connection to the host is shut down, single unit of HM-0013 continues the normal operation as long as the power is secured.
-
- Narrow dedicated cable
- Can be operated with external dimension φ 5 cable. Easy installation with smaller limitation (connector φ13)
-
- ■ Function to reduce installation work
-
-
- Protection grade IP67
It is designed with a waterproof and dustproof protection and can be used outside safely.
-
- Impact resistance 1000G
Having the high level impact resistance. The robust structure drastically reduce break accident in installation construction.
-
- Compact
Size has been significantly scaled down compared to a servo type acceleration sensor which had been generally used as a low frequency vibration measurement. Flexibility at installation site is improved.
-
- CE marking
High security and noise resistance has passed Europe standard.

Located at middle of connection, cable extension and unit addition is possible.
- Connection cable length
To regard concreate structures such as building or public and infrastructures such as bridges or tunnels as person, just like health diagnosis, measuring condition of those structures is called structure health monitoring. One of various diagnosis method, health monitoring with vibrometers has been paid attention to evaluate deterioration of aging buildings or bridges.
- Purpose
-
Understand the scour of bridge pier (Japan MLIT, SIP project)
Joint study with Prof. Kawai from Osaka City University to conduct health monitoring of bridge. It is adopted as one of them in SIP (strategic innovation creation program) by Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism
- Research content
- To measure vibration or inclination of a bridge pier, understand the condition of score at lower part of foundation work.
*Scouring can be defined as a process due to which the particles of the soil or rock around the periphery of the abutment or pier of the highway bridge spanning over a water body, gets eroded. It may cause overturning of bridge pier or dike break, so need to be monitored by an inspector when it is big rain.

This study is conducted by “SIP infrastructure management and technology” Council for Science, Technology and Innovation.
- Purpose
-
Health monitoring of building structure
- Research content
- Kumamoto great earthquake occurred in April 16th, 2016 was detected at IMV headquarter building. Taking advantage of high performance of HM-0013, the function which can smoothly evaluate post-earthquake damage is now developed.
