GECKO SMA: STRONG MOTION ACCELEROGRAPH
The Gecko SMA is a compact, triaxial strong-motion accelerograph designed for structural health monitoring. Featuring a MEMS accelerometer, it ensures reliable detection of significant ground motion. Data is continuously stored in MiniSEED format on an SD card and can be streamed via Ethernet, WiFi, or cellular modem. With low power consumption (~1W), on-site LCD configuration, and real-time alerts, the Gecko SMA is an efficient, user-friendly solution for seismic and blast monitoring.

OVERVIEW
Description
The Gecko SMA is an all-in-one strong motion triaxial accelerograph (measuring East-West, North-South, and Up-Down) designed for structural health monitoring. It combines user-friendliness with the reliability and simplicity of a MEMS accelerometer, offering full-scale ranges from ±2g, ±5g, ±10g, and beyond—up to ±400g.
Effortless Data Storage & Installation
Data is continuously recorded and stored on an SD card in MiniSEED format, automatically organized into year/month/day/hour folders for easy browsing on any PC. Installation is equally straightforward—simply secure the Gecko SMA using the included rock anchor, drill bit/punch, and lock nut to mount the threaded rod directly into the ground.
On-Site Configuration & Power Efficiency
The standard LCD display and keypad allow full configuration without needing a PC in the field. Consuming only 1W of power, the device can run for approximately a month on a lead-acid battery similar in size to a car battery.
Connectivity & Real-Time Monitoring
All Gecko models include dual alarm outputs and support external Ethernet, WiFi, or cellular modem modules for real-time data streaming. Using our free software, Streams, users can:
- Archive and visualize real-time data remotely.
- Access live feeds via the web.
- Receive email alerts based on user-defined thresholds.
Ideal for Structural & Seismic Monitoring
The Gecko SMA employs MEMS accelerometer technology to detect high-intensity ground motion that could cause structural damage. While a magnitude 2.0 earthquake at 100 km distance may not be detected, the Gecko SMA’s wide full-scale range ensures the capture of larger or near-field events.
Although the Gecko SMA-HR offers 300 times greater sensitivity, the Gecko SMA provides a cost-effective alternative with low noise levels, making it an excellent choice for near-field blast monitoring and structural assessments.
