CERTIFICATION
All Products in the Palert range are independently calibrated and certified by an internationally ISO approved testing laboratory
Ownership
All Palerts sold become the property of the purchaser. (unless of course they are part of a leased solution)
Data Ownership
Owners or leasers of Palert's can consume and distribute the data collected in anyway they see fit.
The data is also used where allowed by other agencies such as CWB in Taiwan and Geonet in NZ.

Shake Map Service
Palert owners are able to subscribe to the Jenlogix Shake Map server but in doing so agree to share the "shake map version/representation" of the data with all other subscribers/users.
NOTE: this is an image only and NOT the raw data. In subscribing they also agree to not distribute the image to anyone outside their organisations, they are still free to distribute their RAW data

Text Alert
Jenlogix also provide an Earthquake text alert system on a subscription basis in the same manor as the Shake maps service. This service is used by the likes of power, energy and other commercial enterprises. The messages can be targeted to different users and groups depending on the location and the severity of the quake.
Structural Health Monitoring
All structural health data is sent to a cloud based solution. This can be interrogated remotely by approved engineers and other users to understand the impact of any earthquake on a structure.
Open System
As you see the only proprietary applications or service is the shake maps, text alerting and structural health systems which are purchased on a subscription basis. Most clients are happy to subscribe to the relevant service as it also means that they automatically receive a health/operational check on the Palerts in the field.
Alternatively it is possible to sell/set up a Shake Map and or Text Servers for clients whom want to retain ownership of the Shake Map from their own devices. The only caveat is that it is not used commercially in competition to the Jenlogix products or services.
In some instances it may be that only the data is required and this is always available as per the above ownership

HOW MUCH WARNING DO I GET
Standalone the Palert can only react to the P-Wave when received. This cannot provide the time till the shock wave arrives since it will not know where the earthquake originates. This does not mean that the warning is not useful. In New Zealand a user received what turned out to be 19 seconds of a large earthquake. This enabled him to get his family up and into a safe place before the shock wave arrived. Since the Palert reacts to the P-Wave it can instantly provide warning, switch off system and/or activate emergency processes.
When the Palerts are in a large network connected to a central server then it is possible for warnings to be sent out to devices that have yet to receive the P-Wave. Those units near the earthquake centre will activate and send details to the central server. This will then calculate the time and speed of the earthquake meaning warning can be sent to other devices in the network providing more warning.
Typically the P-Wave travels twice as fast as the S-Wave which is around 4 KM/s. So an event 120 KM away will provide about 15 seconds warning.

RAPID STRUCTURAL HEALTH ON SITE SETUP AND TIME
The RSHD system is setup using either small earthquakes, or using ambient noise to determine the pseudo stiffness of the system. This is monitored initially to confirm the configuration is correct. Following a serious event the data is sent to the controller which will evaluate the RSHD status. A file is created of the result. This file and the event files from the Palert are sent to the cloud. The RSHD result is produced within 1 minute of the earthquake.
CAN I INTERFACE TO SCADA OR BMS
The Palert units use MODBUS/TCP or MODBIS/RTU. This enables any MODBUS capable system to send request to read the registers and take appropriate action. It takes as little as 15 minutes to set this up on many systems.
Alternatively the outputs of the Palert or PX-01 units can be used to switch on/off systems.
