Canterbury Seismic Instruments Ltd products

The CUSP-3 is our range of Strong Motion Accelerographs. The CUSP-3 contains one internal triaxial MEMS accelerometer, and is ideally suited to seismic ground motion and simple seismic response applications. Proven over 15 years of use with the most demanding customers, the CUSP-3 is fully featured for both commercial and research oriented users. Completely internet integrated, it is simple to configure and use - even for the non-technical user. Fully supported both locally and globally, the CUSP-3 provides fantastic value.

Utilising the same M-series firmware as our world-leading CUSP-Ms, the CUSP-Me hardware platform and communication prototcol is specifically intended for integration with an existing building ethernet system. With an unlimited number of sensors of mutiple types and functions (yes - really!) the CUSP-Me offers complete plug and play functionality. Utilising standard network adminstration protocols and tools, set-up, maintenance and operation is simple for any competent IT team. All installation hardware is ubiquitous and industry standard. Cheap and easy to install, the maximum quantity of detailed, time-synchronised data, with full CSI support globally and locally, the CUSP-Me is the only choice for the most complex projects.

Central management of large, multi-instrument arrays. State-of-health monitoring and reporting. Single data access point to geographically and typologically diverse networks. Any situation where common triggering is necessary. Situations requiring high-level array real time data summary and visualisation.

A development of the CUSP-3, the CUSP-3X3 is the simplest, easiest and best value three-sensor structure monitoring system on the market.  Containing one internal triaxial MEMS accelerometer, with two external remote accelerometers, it is ideally suited to standard 3-sensor structural monitoring applications, for example those required by regulation in Colombia,the Philippines and the USA.

Utilising our revolutionary M-series firmware, the CUSP-Ms is designed for the most demanding structural monitoring applications.  With up to eight sensors of multiple types as standard (16 and 32 sensor options) the CUSP-Ms is a highly configurable system that brings a diverse range of sensor technologies onto a common communications backbone and outputs a single, synchronised, time-aligned, data-set.
