CMG-6T

a 26-way bayonet plug for data and power;

a pressure-release cap;

a cover-plate for the output offset adjustment potentiometers;

a spirit level,

three feet (two adjustable, and one fixed), and

two accurate orientation pins (one brass and one steel).

2.2.1 Serial number

The sensor's serial number can be found on the label affixed to the
side of the instrument. You should quote this serial number if you

ever need assistance from Güralp Systems.

2.3 Connection

The instrument is supplied with a 26-way cable with mil-spec bayonet

connectors on each end; this carries both power and output signals
and is suitable for connecting directly to a Güralp digitizer.

An optional breakout box, if ordered, provides individual signal and

power connectors, or you can make up your own cable if you prefer.

2.3.1 The breakout box

If you are using the optional Güralp breakout

box, the data cable from the instrument should
be attached to its SENSOR connector.

Connectors are also provided at the CONTROL
and RECORDER outputs, for attaching to an

optional hand-held control unit or a Güralp
digitizer.

The breakout box also provides a standard

Güralp power connector on a 10-pin mil-spec
plug. The 6T draws a nominal current of 38 mA

from a 12 V supply when in use; thus, using a
12V, 25 Ah sealed heavy-duty lead-acid battery,

you should expect the instrument to operate for
around a week without recharging.

The CENTRE button switches the instrument into one-second mode

whilst it is pressed. This mode allows you to monitor the mass
