Abstract
This invention concerns a status alarm for a seismometer group recorder. In using group recorders, the automatic recording feature leaves the field personnel (the user) with minimum confidence that operations are satisfactory, in the absence of a status alarm. An alarm functions when a particular group recorder has been energized and is presumptively ready for operation. The alarm system is actuated only when the major systems within the group recorder are ready to operate. The alarm may be either visual or aural or both.
