INSTRUMENT ORIENTATION
The instrument can be mounted in the horizontal position (on the floor) or in the vertical position (on the wall).
Each instrument position must correspond to a specific arrangement of geophones in the geophone pack. The
arrangement of the geophones shows the scheme on the right section of the geophone pack.
Axes are assigned to the channels of SV 803: the X axis is assigned to Channel 1, Y axis –to Channel 2 and Z
axis –to Channel 3.
•In the horizontal position, the central geophone must be of the vertical type *).
•In the vertical position, the left geophone (with the QR code) must be of the vertical type.
*) The geophone of the vertical type has the blue cable!
SV 803 is equipped with a gyroscope to identify its mounting position and assign the channels to the axes
automatically. in case of inconsistency between the position of the instrument and the arrangement of geophones,
the instrument will detect it and inform the user via the Assistant Pro mobile application and SvanNET web service.

1 INTRODUCTION
SV 803 is an outdoor monitoring system
dedicated for ground and building vibration
applications such as construction site
monitoring, tunnelling and blasting. It uses
three geophones measuring vertical,
longitudinal, and transverse vibration, that can
be easily taken out for calibration.
The instrument can be fully controlled via the
SvanNET web service and also using the
Assistant Pro mobile application that connects
a mobile device with the instrument via
Bluetooth®. The control capability includes data
presentation, reporting, alarms, configuration of
measurement and instrument settings.
The instrument’s enclosure has IP 67 rate and
is fitted with very robust, waterproof connectors.
It can be equipped with an IP 65 external power
supply.
SV 803 measures vibration velocity in three directions and calculates both Peak Particle Velocity and Dominant
Frequency value simultaneously. The device uses FFT for determining the dominant frequency according to
BS and DIN standards. It also has the option to use RMS or PEAK velocity spectrum in 1/3 octave bands for
comparison with user-defined curves. Additionally, SV 803 can measure Vibration Dose Value (VDV).
One of the biggest advantages of SV 803 is its power efficiency. It can run up to 180 days on batteries. The
terminal can be powered from internal battery, or outdoor DC power supply, for example, solar panel.
1.1 KEY FEATURES
•Peak Particle Velocity (PPV) and Dominant Frequency are measured simultaneously in three axes
according to DIN 4150-3 and BS 7385-2.
•Other Building Vibration Standards and methods including customized criterion curves based on FFT
or 1/3 octave (RMS or PEAK) can be used.
•Human Vibration in buildings measurements in accordance with DIN 4150-2 (KB) and BS 6472-1
(VDV).
•Time history logging of measurement results.
•Time domain signal recording that opens wide possibilities for post-processing analysis using
SvanPC++ software.
•Bluetooth®enabling the remote control by the Assistant Pro smartphone application.
•4G modem enabling the remote control and fast data transfer over the Internet to a PC through the
SvanNET web service.
•GPS module for localization of the instrument and time synchronization (option).
•Internal and external (optional) 4G antennas.
•Powering from the removable internal battery, external DC source (option), and dedicated solar
panel (option).
•Charging the instrument’s battery using a standard indoor USB-C wall adapter.
•Charging and powering the instrument using the waterproof outdoor power supply (option).
•Waterproof connectors providing reliable external power supply and communication with external
devices.
•Weather Station and Dust Monitor integration into the measurement system with the use of optional
SD 310 monitoring system controller (future option).
