3 Installation

NOTE: If you have not already done so, scribe a North-South line on the

mounting surface.

Perform the following steps to install a Colt:

1. The unit comes pre-installed in a thermal cover blanket. It is generally best to just leave

the thermal cover blanket in place and install the unit as is. As required the top of the

thermal blanket can be unzipped for easy verification of the unit S/N and P/N. Re-zip the

thermal blanket before proceeding to the next step.

2. Move the seismometer onto the surface where is to be installed and make sure that the

seismometer is secure. The three adjustable leveling feet should not shift relative to the

installation surface. The surface should be a flat, solid surface.

3. Connect the cable to the seismometer. Connect the seismometer end of the cable first,

with the DAS end of the cable not connected to anything.

CAUTION

4. Orient the seismometer to point North using the North marker stitched on the thermal

cover blanket. The "N" marker should face North. Additionally, orientation pins can

optionally be installed into the base of the unit which point North and South. See Figure 3-

Be sure the other end of the cable is not connected to the DAS. (No power

should be supplied to the seismometer until it has been leveled and will not be

moved anymore.).
