pALERT F330 tri-axial force-balance accelerograph in red IP67 enclosure with LCD display

pALERT F330 Tri-axial Force-Balance Accelerograph

The pALERT F330 is a tri-axial force-balance accelerograph for on-site and regional earthquake early warning, structural health monitoring and industrial seismic protection. It combines Pd, PGA and STA/LTA triggers, 24-bit recording at up to 1,000 samples per second, more than 130 dB dynamic range, Modbus TCP, MQTT and LINE alerts and three digital outputs in an IP67 enclosure with battery backup. QuakeLogic supplies the F330 with configuration support, integration guidance and worldwide shipping.

OVERVIEW

Description

Overview

The pALERT F330 is a tri-axial force-balance accelerograph that combines a low-noise strong-motion sensor, a 24-bit four-channel recorder and on-board earthquake early warning logic in one IP67 unit. It detects the first P-wave arrivals, estimates how destructive the following S-wave will be, and issues alerts and digital-output commands seconds before strong shaking reaches the site. At the same time it records the event, calculates seismic intensity on international scales, and streams waveform data to servers, Modbus TCP hosts and messaging services.

QuakeLogic supplies the pALERT F330 to seismic network operators, facility and plant engineers, structural health monitoring teams, building owners and public-safety agencies that need a dependable accelerograph for on-site or regional earthquake early warning, structural response monitoring and automatic protective action.

Why choose the pALERT F330

  • Warning before the damaging wave. Pd early warning evaluates P-wave displacement within 3 seconds and alerts before the S-wave arrives, giving elevators, gas valves, production lines and people time to react.
  • Research-grade strong-motion data. The force-balance sensor delivers more than 130 dB dynamic range, 0.03% nonlinearity and a DC to 200 Hz response, with selectable ±0.5 g to ±4 g ranges and 24-bit resolution at up to 1,000 samples per second.
  • Three trigger logics, not one. Pd, PGA and STA/LTA triggers plus high-pass and low-pass filtering reduce false alarms from traffic, machinery and footfall.
  • Built for industrial integration. Modbus TCP for up to ten hosts, three digital outputs, MQTT and LINE alerts, and a web GUI connect the F330 to PLCs, SCADA, building management systems and messaging workflows without custom hardware.
  • Keeps working when power fails. The internal battery runs the instrument for about three hours, the enclosure is IP67, and the quick connectors lock against mis-insertion.
  • Backed by QuakeLogic. Configuration review, threshold planning, integration support, documentation and worldwide shipping from the United States.

Customer benefits

  • Seconds of lead time to stop equipment, open doors, stop elevators and alert staff before strong shaking.
  • Fewer false alarms thanks to combined trigger logic and noise filtering, so protective actions stay credible.
  • Event records with trigger time, peak intensity, three-axis PGA and vector acceleration for post-earthquake structural assessment and compliance reports.
  • One instrument covers on-site warning, regional network participation and structural health monitoring.
  • Open protocols (Modbus TCP, MQTT, miniSEED, TCP streaming) protect your investment and simplify integration with existing systems.

Key features

  • Tri-axial force-balance accelerometer with >130 dB dynamic range and 24-bit, four-channel digitizing.
  • Pd P-wave early warning that estimates S-wave destructiveness within 3 seconds of the threshold crossing.
  • PGA and STA/LTA triggers with configurable high-pass and low-pass filters.
  • Seismic intensity on the CWB 2020, GB/T 17742-2008, MMI, JMA and KMA scales.

  • Three TTL digital outputs (0.1 A each) plus remote Modbus TCP digital-output control for shutdown and alarm circuits.
  • MQTT and LINE alert messaging for group notification.
  • Web GUI for configuration and browser-based waveform viewing; compatible with the Palert Early Warning System application and SanDAS software.
  • NTP server or client timing with optional GPS module; NB-IoT wireless connectivity listed by the manufacturer.
  • 2 × 20 character LCD with function button for status, intensity readout, restarts and firmware updates via FTP.
  • IP67 enclosure, internal battery for about three hours, horizontal adjustment screws, 206 × 179 × 120 mm, 4.37 kg.

Applications

  • Earthquake early warning systems (EEWS), both on-site and as part of a regional network.
  • Structural health monitoring (SHM) of buildings, bridges and infrastructure, including rapid post-earthquake structural safety assessment.
  • Industrial risk management: automatic shutdown of gas valves, elevators, process lines and precision tools for disaster reduction.
  • Protection of personnel on production lines and in manufacturing plants.
  • Industrial and energy infrastructure, public facilities and transportation hubs.
  • Residential and commercial buildings that need on-site seismic intensity measurement and alarms.

System integration

The F330 is the front-end sensor of QuakeLogic’s earthquake early warning portfolio. Pair it with the CUBE Earthquake Early Warning Command Center for an on-site touchscreen display and alarm hub, with the PX01 Earthquake Central Datalogger and Control Unit for rack-mounted plant-wide disaster prevention, or with SHAKE SS300 Smart Seismic Switch relays for distributed shutdown points. For cost-sensitive MEMS deployments, see the pALERT S303 Tri-axial MEMS Accelerograph and the pALERT Q332 Tri-axial Quartz MEMS Accelerograph.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

What is the pALERT F330 and what does it do?

The pALERT F330 is a tri-axial force-balance accelerograph with a built-in 24-bit recorder for earthquake early warning and structural health monitoring. It measures ground or structural acceleration on three axes, runs Pd, PGA and STA/LTA trigger logic on board, calculates seismic intensity, records events, and sends alerts and data over Ethernet to control systems, servers and messaging services.

How does the F330 warn before strong shaking arrives?

The F330 uses Pd (P-wave displacement) early warning technology. When the displacement of the faster, weaker P-wave exceeds a threshold within 3 seconds, the instrument estimates the destructiveness of the following S-wave and issues an alert before the damaging S-wave arrives. PGA and STA/LTA triggers are available alongside Pd, and high-pass and low-pass filters reduce non-seismic noise.

Can the F330 trigger automatic shutdowns or alarms?

Yes. The F330 has three TTL digital outputs (0.1 A maximum each, driven from the internal 12 VDC supply or an external supply up to 30 VDC) for relays, sirens, gas valves, elevators and production lines. It can also switch digital outputs on remote Modbus TCP devices, publish alerts through MQTT, and send LINE group notifications.

Which communication protocols and software does the F330 support?

The F330 has a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet port and acts as a Modbus TCP server for up to ten simultaneous hosts, with TCP server, TCP client and administration-server modes for streaming data in 16-bit or 24-bit packet formats. Warning information can be uploaded to three servers. It records in miniSEED and, from firmware 4.56, can serve miniSEED streams. Alerts go out via MQTT and LINE. Configuration and waveform viewing use the built-in web GUI, the Palert Early Warning System application or SanDAS software. NB-IoT wireless connectivity is listed by the manufacturer; confirm the configuration with QuakeLogic.

How is the pALERT F330 powered and installed?

The F330 accepts 10 to 30 VDC (1 A minimum supply) through a waterproof quick connector and keeps running for about three hours on its internal battery if external power fails. The IP67 enclosure mounts with horizontal adjustment screws for leveling and weighs 4.37 kg. Timing comes from NTP (server or client mode) or an optional GPS module. Installation on a floor slab, column base, machine foundation or cabinet wall is typical, and QuakeLogic provides configuration guidance for thresholds, outputs and network settings.

Does QuakeLogic ship the pALERT F330 internationally and what support is included?

Yes. QuakeLogic ships the pALERT F330 worldwide from the United States. Every order includes datasheet-verified configuration guidance, threshold and output planning, Modbus, MQTT and software integration support, and access to the user manual. Optional items include the CUBE command center, the PX01 central datalogger, SHAKE SS300 seismic switches and additional pALERT sensors for networked early warning.
