Seismic Recorder


Data First

The Wrangler-S expands the WranglerTM Seismic Data Acquisition ecosystem with a new design that expands on the data first design philosophy that has characterized Reftek recorders for the last 50 years. Data can be recorded in miniSEED or MRF format. The Wrangler-S adds user-friendly features while significantly reducing power consumption. Featuring a high-performance 32-bit A/D with 141+ dB of dynamic range and expanded gain options of 1,2,4,8,16,32 or 64x gain. User selectable resolution option provides for bandwidth optimization with no loss of dynamic range. The integration of an OLED screen makes configuration and confirmation of status possible at a quick glance, while an integrated Wi-FI antenna allows for quick connection to your device’s Web Interface (WebUI) through any Wi-Fi enabled PC or phone at a glance through your internet browser.

Reftek Reliability

A fully waterproof enclosure, houses the recorder electronics along with two forms of onboard storage; a removable USB drive - easily user accessible in an independently sealed compartment, and an 8 GB
SEEDlink ring buffer attached to the main CPU. All Wrangler ecosystem cables are fully compatible with the Wrangler-S, which is available with 3 or 6 input channels. Each channel connector includes 6 configurable digital sensor control lines and 6 auxiliary sensor data inputs.

Timely Data

The Wrangler-S includes a highly stable temperature-compensated oscillator for time tagging data that can be supplemented with NTP, PTP or GNSS (GPS) timing. The Wrangler S uniquely includes the
ability to site a GNSS antenna up to 1000 ft away from the recorder without a repeater or fiber optic conversion of signals. This is advantageous for large structures or when operating underground.
The Wrangler is available with simultaneous SEEDlink and RTP telemetry protocols, both of which can connect to multiple destinations for time-critical applications. SEEDlink packets are user adjustable
in latency for EEW applications. Smart network timing and triggering features are also available.
