HOW IT WORKS: The Quake Alarm™ Earthquake Detector with it’s patented reverse pendulum detection system gives you precious seconds to respond right when an earthquake is detected. The Quake Alarm™ is designed to provide instant warning of seismic activity by detecting the “P” wave (compression wave) of an earthquake which travels faster than the more destructive “s” wave (shear wave). The “P” wave can be detected and sound the alarm before people can actually feel the earthquake. The Quake Alarm™ is capable of detecting large earthquakes that occur hundreds of miles away. It can also detect moderate to minor earthquakes for many miles around your local area. The Quake Alarm™ buzzer is loud enough to wake you up when asleep, giving you time to immediately take cover or tend to family members.
Frequently Asked Questions:
What magnitude earthquake does the Quake Alarm™ detect?
The Quake Alarm™ has a sensitivity adjustment whereby it can detect close by 4.0 earthquakes to quakes of 6.0 and above that are hundreds of miles away.
How does the Quake Alarm™ work/operate?
The Quake Alarm™ is a small plastic device that is not much bigger than a thermostat that mounts onto a wall with adhesive Velcro® strips and it operates off a nine-volt battery. The internal components are made up of a patented reverse pendulum system that is sensitive to “p” waves that precedes an earthquake. This pendulum moves, tripping a switch circuit which sounds the loud buzzer.
What is the "P" Wave? How does the Quake Alarm™ detect them?
Earthquakes produce many waves caused by the plate or rock movements beneath the surface. The two main waves are “P” compression wave which is the fastest moving wave. The Quake Alarm™ is sensitive enough to detect this wave movement and sound the alarm before the “S” shear wave hits. This alert gives you a few seconds to help children or others find a safe place to be, and the buzzer is loud enough to wake you up.
You say the Quake Alarm™ operates off a nine-volt battery. How long does it last?
With intermittent alarming and testing of the units on a regular basis, a nine-volt alkaline battery will last about five years.
Why should people use the Quake Alarm™?
Because it wakes you up at night at the start of an earthquake and it confirms that what you might be feeling is, in fact, an earthquake.
