Geospace (OYO) GS-1 Sensor Responses

Coil resistance values affect the sensitivity, damping and pole values. The responses given here are invalid for coil resistances other than listed. It describes a level geophone with nominal attributes. It is always recommended that these nominal responses be updated based on calibration measurements for each sensor.

Note:

The response given here assumes that the input resistance of the attached amplifier or datalogger is at least 2 orders of magnitude larger than the sensor impedance. If this is not the case, the poles will need to be updated. This find out do this, click here.
