7. Orienting your recorder depends on your application. We recommend:
a. For earthquake monitoring, rotate the Gecko until the arrow is pointing North
b. For dam monitoring, point the North arrow along the dam wall with East direction
pointing downstream
c. For building monitoring, align the arrow of the Gecko to the axis of your building
that is closest to North
8. Loosen the upper locking nuts on the two adjustable feet and screw the feet in or out
until the bubble on top of the Gecko is centred indicating that the chassis is level.
9. Screw the locking nuts up to the base of the Gecko so that the feet can no longer be
adjusted.
10. Use the supplied flanged plastic nut to lock the Gecko down onto the threaded rod.
Hand tightening is sufficient to tie the Gecko down in case the ground acceleration
exceeds the force of gravity or horizontal friction.
