As stated previously, simply placing the transducer on a surface and using leveling
feet to level this transducer block is NOT effective. For this reason NOMIS does not
provide leveling feet with the transducer block. We do not want operators to falsely
assume that leveling is the most important aspect of proper transducer installation.
The type of geophone elements used in NOMIS Seismographs only require a leveling
of 20 degrees or less against the horizon, according to the geophone manufacturer.
This can often be detected by the naked eye.
The most common result of an improperly placed transducer is an
abnormally high reading. Therefore, make sure you use the instructions
above to properly set up the transducer block. If you have any questions about
placement, please contact our technicians at NOMIS Seismographs.
