13 WorldWide Drilling Resource ® APRIL 2017 New Blast Vibration Monitoring Technology from Instantel Whether you are blasting on a construction, mine, or quarry project, you need blast vibration monitoring equipment. The SmartGeo™ by Instantel has auto leveling and auto orientation intelligence built right in. It will detect its orientation and adjust its settings to allow for accurate readings of vertical, transverse, and longitudinal vibrations. This means it can be placed in just about any orientation and it will automatically adjust and correct itself for the appropriate level and position. Forget buying two separate geophones for horizontal and vertical mounts. Now, you can take the same geophone which was installed in the horizontal position and mount it vertically without adjusting the internal sensors or using a leveling plate.
