    CSP-SNv Capacitor Charging Unit Operation CSP-CSPSNV-8000/3 Manual _______________________________________________________________________________________________ Section 1 - OPERATIONAL 1.1. Environmental Considerations Seismic Sound Sources and Marine Life Although not proven, there is concern in some quarters that marine mammals may be harmed or their behaviour changed by seismic activity. The sound pulses from sparkers and boomers is much lower in amplitude and higher in frequency (so it will travel less far) than air guns.

  • Page 10: Installation

    CSP-SNv Capacitor Charging Unit Operation CSP-CSPSNV-8000/3 Manual _______________________________________________________________________________________________ 1.3. Installation Siting the CSP-SNv The CSP-SNv delivers high energy, high voltage pulses, yet still emits minimal electrical emissions, and so can carry the CE mark. The CE marking ensure that the CSP-SNv can be sited next to sensitive electronic equipment which carry their own CE marking (for susceptibility to emissions) and will be unlikely to cause them interference.
