Geomotion launches VWRead Vibrating Wire Readout

Geomotion recently launched their first new product for 2014, an upgraded model to the now discontinued VW Hand-held Readout Unit. The VWRead Vibrating Wire Readout is a highly versatile, easy to use handheld readout unit with a sweeping range of 400 – 600 Hz, capable of reading most commercially available geotechnical Vibrating Wire (VW) sensors and built-in thermistor temperature sensors.

The easy to carry and robust unit provides accurate, repeatable and fast interference-free readings and provides optional higher 15V excitation ensures quality readings for sensors with long cables.

Our customers wanted a product that was easy to use yet could be confidently relied on to provide quality readings.  The new unit makes taking accurate, repeatable and interference-free readings simple, fast and error free. VWread offers fantastic value and is a good option when you don’t require on-board data storage.

Other key features of the new product include:

• Compatible with nearly all VW sensors
• Realtime display of VW sensor readings in Hz, Hz2/1000 and period
• FFT-based data reading algorithm
• Reading and displaying parameters can be fully configured
• Long battery life; powered by a NiMH rechargeable battery

VWread is suitable for geotechnical and structural monitoring applications relating to measuring pore pressure, water level, strain, crack, load, pressure cell and displacement.
