Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use:
Read this information before using your WTU-518.
Warnings, Cautions, and Important notices throughout this manual guide you to avoid injury, prevent equipment
damage, and determine equipment use when varying components or configurations exist. Notes provide tips or
additional information.
SERCEL is not responsible for damages or injuries that result from failure to observe the information provided.
When a Warning or Caution appears with an exclamation-point icon, as shown in this example,
this is to indicate possible equipment damage or potential risk of misuse and incorrect operation.
Important notices appear in the manual to highlight information that does not affect the risk of
bodily injury, death, or equipment damage, but is nevertheless important. These notices appear with
a stop-sign icon, as shown in this example.
Warranty is void if the product shows evidence of being damaged as a result of
disassembly/reassembly by anyone other than qualified, service-trained personnel authorized by
SERCEL.

Description:
The WTU-518 acquires and stores data coming from the analog or digital sensor plugged on its geophone connector.
By WLAN or LAN communication links, the WTU-518 transmits these stored data to recorder or field unit’s
equipment. State Of Health are transmitted through the UNITE system via a 2.4GHz radio communication link.

LEDs Function:
Power / Ethernet port:
This port has two main functions:
- configure the WTU-518 and harvest datas by connecting the Ethernet cable supplied by Sercel
- Power the WTU-518 when there is no internal battery, by plugging an external battery, or charge the
internal battery by an external battery or a stabilized power supply. This power input works between 11 and
16.8Vdc.
Two kinds of batteries can be plugged on this port:
Lead-acid battery
Lithium-ion battery
Use only the power/Ethernet cable, supplied with the WTU-518, to connect it to the battery or other
tools.
Input geophone port:
- Power ON/Power OFF of the WTU-518 by connecting/ disconnecting the geophones, analog or digital.
- Automatic recognition of geophones’ types (analog or digital).
