ES-Pro

ES-Pro seismometer: a black case printed with ExpTech, and a front OLED screen showing seismic intensity and a waveform

ES-Pro matches ES-Net for measurement, time sync, and communication. It also has an OLED screen and a buzzer, so you can see this unit’s seismic intensity and waveform without a computer or a phone. For setup, see Installation and Wi-Fi setup.

Item Value
Dimensions (L × W × H) 70 × 54.5 × 34 mm
Protection rating IP10 (not waterproof; indoor use only)
Screen OLED, 128 × 64
Buzzer Yes

The sensor, time sync, and communication specifications match ES-Net. See ES-Net specifications.

Version Description
2.0 The older board.
3.0 A new board. It uses the same circuit board as ES-Net 3.0.

Every hardware version uses the same ES-Pro firmware. The seismometer detects the version when it boots. The current hardware version is shown at the bottom of the screen. See Boot screen below.

ES-Pro boot screen: ExpTech Studio at the top, and a bottom row reading ES-Pro, 25w48b, 2.0

The bottom row is the model, the firmware version, and the hardware version, in that order. For example, ES-Pro 25w48b 2.0. For about 60 seconds after boot, the screen shows the device ID and the percentage of data collected. Intensity is not calculated during this time. When you contact ExpTech, provide the device ID shown here.

After 60 seconds of data have been collected, it switches to the main screen:

Position Contents
Large text at the upper left Intensity class
I: Instrumental seismic intensity
a: Acceleration value used for instrumental seismic intensity (gal)
O / X at the upper right Connection to the ExpTech server: O connected, X not connected
O / X at the lower right Time sync: O synced, X not synced yet
Lower half Waveform for about the last 12.8 seconds

Not-networked mode and standalone mode do not connect to the server. X at the upper right is normal.

Screen Meaning What to do
BLE Pairing Pairing mode. Waiting for Wi-Fi setup with ExpTech Home. The screen shows the station name Set up Wi-Fi by following Installation and Wi-Fi setup
BLE OTA BLE OTA mode. Waiting for a firmware update with ExpTech Home. Progress is shown during the update Update by following Firmware updates and recovery
Error / Register failed. Device unauthorized. The ExpTech server did not accept this seismometer’s registration Contact ExpTech and provide the device ID
Error / Version rollback detected. Halted. Firmware older than the previous version was installed, and the seismometer stopped Flash the latest firmware with the USB recovery tool

The buzzer sounds from the seismic intensity this seismometer measures:

Intensity on this unit Sound
2 or higher 3 short beeps
4 or higher 5 long beeps

It beeps only once for the same shaking. It can trigger again only after the intensity drops.
