1. Install REFTEK and sensors

a. Dig a 2 ft. deep and 2 ft diameter hole (or less) for seismometers.

Level the sensors carefully. Orientation: channel 1 -> Vertical,

channel 2 -> magnetic north and channel 3 -> magnetic east.

b. Dig a 2.5 ft by 2.5 ft by 1.5 ft hole (less than 5 ft. away from the

sensor hole for environment purpose) for DAS, car battery and timing

device. Put battery in a trash bag, then put all in thick plastic bag

(4mm thick) toprotect the equipment from dirt and water.

2. Check battery voltage ___________(volts) (Must be 12V or high).

3. Connect battery -- DAS, DAS -- Sensor, DAS -- GPS (or Omega) and

DAS -- Hand terminal. (Set up antenna for stations using OMEGA)

4. (optional) Receive parameters from DAS. Press COMMNCTNS/RECV PRMS.

Check if parameters are correct. Send parameters back if you

have modified them (Press COMMNCTNS/SEND PRMS).

5. (optional) Monitor. Press MONITOR. (to see if all the channels are Okay)

6. Bury the seismometer hole carefully. Do step 5 again.

7. System reset. Press UTILITIES/SYS RESET.

8. Start acquisition. Press COMMNCTNS/START ACQ. Zero delay time.

9. Look at DAS status and record below

10. Quit DAS status and Unplug HT or AT.

11. Bury the DAS hole carefully.

DAS # __________ Clock Type _________

1. Look for:

Signs of water pooling in sensor hole. YES ____; NO _____.

Signs of animal intrusion. YES _____; NO _____.

2. Check battery voltage _____________(volts).

3. Connect hand terminal (or field computer) and turn it on (Don't disturb the sensor).

(If voltage is low and communication failure when press TIME, go to Step 6)

4. Check DAS status. Press UTILITIES/DAS STATE and record below

5. Stop acquistion. Press COMMNCTNS/STOP ACQ and wait for FINISHED.

6. Swap DAS and battery. Connect battery--DAS, DAS--Sensor, DAS--GPS (or

Omega) and DAS--Hand terminal. (Set up antenna for stations using OMEGA)

Be careful of polarity. Red ( + ); Black ( - ).

Label old DAS immediately with: Station #, DAS #, Year, Day #, and Operator

7. Check battery voltage ______________(volts) (Must be 12V or high).

8. New DAS# _____________

9. Monitor. Press MONITOR. (to see if all the channels are okay)

10. System reset. Press UTILITIES/SYS RESET.

11. Start acquisition. Press COMMNCTNS/STRT ACQ. Zero delay time.

12. Look at DAS status and record below

4. Stop acquistion. Press COMMNCTNS/STOP ACQ and wait for FINISHED.

Label DAS immediately with: Station #, DAS #, Year, Day #, and Operator

5. Quit DAS status and Unplug HT or AT.

6. Pack up DAS (and disk) and battery.

7. Dig out sensors. Write down the sensor#__________________________________

Be sure to lock the sensors:

a). L4C-3D: place it 45 with handle at bottom.

b). UCLA L4C: place it verticallywith connection plug at bottom.

c). Others: no special locking position.

Note: all the sensors should be protected by soft filling materials

when travelling.

8. Bury the holes carefully, clean up the surrounding. The original environment

should be recovered completely.
