Calibration Frequency: Geophone vs SWARM Vibration

Calibration Geophone 

Calibrations are critical for ensuring accurate vibration results, but not all calibrations are equal. Traditional geophones will drift over time, and materials age, changing their response and resulting in inaccurate results. Annual calibration with tuning is necessary to ensure geophone results remain accurate.

Calibration SWARM Vibration monitor

Drift is not an issue with MEMS accelerometers, so calibration means validating that the sensor is performing as built. This means calibration intervals can be pushed to two years or further as project requirements dictate and internal sensor checks continue to pass.

Omnidots recommends a two-year calibration interval for our SWARM Vibration monitors. This means:

• Reduce downtime, site visits, and shipments by 50%.
• 50% fewer replacement sensors needed.
• Reduce calibration costs by 50% and lower calibration fees.
