Kinemetrics’ ETNA accelerograph established the world’s standard for strong motion recording for almost two decades with more than 6000 installations worldwide. The ETNA 2

represents the next generation of ETNA-class accelerographs offering NEW and cost effective, web based monitoring capabilities paired with another Kinemetrics’ established

world standard, the exemplary EpiSensor accelerometer.

Product details

The ETNA 2 is easy to use since it was designed around the Rockhound application software first implemented on the Basalt instruments and continued now on the new Obsidian instruments.

ETNA 2 offers the most essential accelerograph features supporting a wide range of earthquake monitoring applications in a small, lightweight, and simple to use package. If you are interested in Earthquake Early Warning, in structural monitoring, in aftershocks surveys or even in induced earthquake monitoring related to oil and gas, and geothermal fluid injection activities, the ETNA 2 is the right product for you.

And for those whose job it is to maintain large number of stations, we implemented Streamlined Station Maintenance (SSM) that allows you to use your browser to log maintenance activities such as software updates, site inspections, or battery replacements right on the unit. These logs can be automatically uploaded to your data center for archiving, reducing paper work in the field, and eliminating human error.
