Station KIV, Kislovodsk, Russia

KIV operational status: 

2017.07.18

The station operator installed a second Q330 digitizer, an FBA-23 strong motion sensor, and replaced the CMG-3T seismometer with an STS-2.5 seismometer on day 2017,181 (June 30).

2015.08.27

The station was brought down on day 2015,237-08:25 to troubleshoot problems with the CMG-3T seismometer.  All channels from the CMG-3T were nonseismic from day 2015,238-10:58 to 2015,239-09:10 while the CMG-3T was reconfigured.  Data quality improved after the station operator connected the CMG-3T seismometer directly to the Q330 digitizer.

The station operator reports problems with the Guralp CMG-3T seismometer. The sensor will be replaced.

2013.04.05

The station operator reports that the GPS problem has been fixed.

2013.03.22

The station is acquiring data, however, there are timing problems, and the STS-1 horizontal channels are non-seismic due to faulty motors for tuning the mass positions. The station operator is aware of these problems and continues to work on the station.
