The basic technical specifications of the KS-1 seismometer:

u Recording of three orthogonal ground motion components in the seismic frequency band 10-6 - 20 Hz
u Threshold of recordable ground motion throughout the entire frequency range within LNM
u Constancy of temperature maintained in the seismometer's inner space under ambient temperature fluctuations of  ±2,5оС ±10-6 оС
u Mechanical screening from the effect of air pressure fluctuations  
u Screening from the effects of ambient electromagnetic oscillations  
u Dynamic measurement range 120 dB
u Maximum amplitude of output signal voltage ±12 V
u Power supply voltage ±15 V
u Remote control calibration and adjustment of output voltage levels.  
u Power consumed:  Without thermostatic control 0,05 W
                                With thermostatic control 3 W
u Overall dimensions D=Ø350 mm, H=195 m
u Seismometer mass 18 kg

Response functions.

 1.     KS-1 verybroadband seismometer.

 2.     STS-2 verybroadband seismometer.


Spectra of seismic noise as recorded by vertical channels of KS-1 and STS-2 seismometers.


The spectrum of earth tides as recorded by the KS-1 three-component superbroadband seismometer installed at the Svitino seismic station. The absence of daily harmonics on the NS component is due to the station's geographic location.
