Description
P-alert is a network accelerometer with advanced P wave alarm technology. It is embedded Pd
technology developed by Prof. Yih-Min Wu from National Taiwan University (Please Google for related
documents Prof. Wu has published). Designed to reduce earthquake damage, P-alert can issue an
alarm within 3 seconds after P wave is detected whether the following shockwave is devastating or not.
P-alert offers four kinds of trigger algorithms: Pd, PGA, Displacement and STA/LTA for event
determination. Pd algorithm was developed by Prof. Wu as it was mentioned above. PGA stands for
Peak Ground Acceleration. P-alert offers 10 Hz and 20 Hz low pass filters which are user adjustable to
filter out high frequency components in signal generated by non-earthquake vibration. Component “a” is
especially equipped with real time displacement calculation which is able to deploy displacement trigger
algorithm in “a” axis. The conventional STA/LTA trig algorithm is available in P-alert, too.
Intensity standards of MMI (Modified Mercalli Intensity), CWB (Central Weather Bureau, Taiwan), and
China (GB/T-17742-2008) are also available and can be shown instantaneously. Other useful
earthquake information is stored and ready for being retrieved in P-alert. These include trigger time,
maximum intensity, maximum acceleration for each component and maximum acceleration in vector.
The powerful networking capability features streaming real time data to hosts, automatically connecting
up to 2 servers and NTP (Network Time Protocol) time calibration. With these networking functions,
P-alert is a wonderful front end device for EEW (Earthquake Early Warning) system.
Combining with PC utility, it is feasible to record seismic data for research purposes and to have voice
warnings if needed. Providing two outputs and supporting industrial communication standard Modbus
TCP/RTU, P-alert is an ideal product for seismic safety control in numerous applications.

P-alert Specification
P-alert is a P wave alarm equipped with MEMS Power
accelerometers for 16 bit output resolution. It is Supply Voltage: 10~30 VDC
embedded 2 digital outputs for facility protection Power (@12V): 3.5 W
before or during the earthquake. With Modbus
TCP/RTU capabilities, it is very easy to integrate Input / Output
P-alert with industrial applications, such as PLC, Modbus RTU: RS-232 or RS-485 format
HMI and SCADA. Up to 2 hosts can be connected 19200, N, 8, 1
to P-alert at the same time. Modbus TCP: 3 Hosts Simultaneously
