The V1X Geophone should be mounted according to:

  • V10 should be mounted either on the wall or on the floor, and have the label parallel with the wall (readable from the side)

  • V11 should be mounted either on the wall or on the floor, and have the label parallel with the floor (readable from above)

  • V12 should be mounted either on the wall or on the floor, and have the label parallel with the floor (readable from above)

  • V12R should be mounted in the ceiling and have the label parallel with the ceiling (readable from below)

If you measure triaxial then it should be <1º to avoid false measurement.
