DMT SUMMIT M Vipa Vibration and Seismic Monitoring System
The SUMMIT M Vipa is a three channel seismograph for vibration monitoring with an additional channel for noise monitoring. Made by DMT of Essen Germany it is a vibration monitoring system for blast monitoring infrastructure, engineering, and micro seismic applications. It is lightweight, rugged, and built for autonomous mobile measurements so it can be left on site to record vibration from blasting, construction, traffic, and other sources and to check compliance with vibration limits.
Key Features
- Three vibration channels plus one noise channel: three channels for vibration monitoring and an additional auxiliary channel for noise monitoring
- 24-bit ADC: a high resolution converter that gives high dynamic range and ultra sensitive vibration monitoring for both continuous and event triggered recording
- Monitoring to common standards: integrated parameter and data control functions provide structural vibration monitoring according to all common standards
- Built-in lithium-ion battery: with extra long duration batteries, it suits autonomous, mobile, and remote measurements
- Easy setup routines: designed to be quick to configure in the field
- Network-ready: comprehensive network options for data transfer, remote access, and alarm messages
- Linkable units: several units can be linked together to build up monitoring networks
- DMT-3D/DIN seismometer: the seismometer used with the SUMMIT M Vipa for vibration and microseismic monitoring
- Ruggedised, lightweight housing: easy to carry and set up on different sites
Typical Applications
- Blast vibration monitoring at quarries, mines, and construction sites
- Infrastructure monitoring, including buildings, bridges, and tunnels
- Construction and demolition vibration control
- Engineering and micro seismic monitoring
- Compliance monitoring to national vibration standards with alarm messages when limits are approached
Why Choose It
The SUMMIT M Vipa combines a sensitive 24 bit recorder long battery life and remote data access in a compact rugged instrument. That makes it practical for unattended monitoring with automatic alerts and documentation that help owners show compliance and respond quickly to exceedances.
