Syscal Junior, 1D Sounding System

FOR ENVIRONMENTAL APPLICATIONS
  • Compact yet powerful: 400 V - 100 W - 1.2 A
  • Easy to use, Internal memory for data storage
  • Automatic computation of resistivity and chargeability (IP)
  • Proven reliability

APPLICATIONS

Vertical electrical sounding and resistivity profiling for:

  • Pollution monitoring and mapping
  • Salinity control
  • Shallow groundwater exploration
  • Depth-to-rock determination
  • Weathered bedrock localization
  • Depth and thickness of aquifers

OUTSTANDING FEATURES
  • Microprocessor controlled measurement of electrical resistivity and chargeability
  • Display of voltage, intensity, SP, standard deviation
  • Computation of resistivity for most electrode arrays: Schlumberger, Wenner, gradient, dipole, resistance
  • Memory capacity for more than 800 readings (3000 in the multi-electrode mode)
  • Data transfer to PC through serial link
  • Capability to drive automatic multi-electrode switching system (E-NODE & MULTINODE)

EASE OF USE

Taking a reading is very easy:

  • Strike SPACING to input spacings (AB/2, MN/2)
  • Select output voltage (50V to 400V)
  • Strike START
  • V and I are displayed during stacking
  • Strike RESULT to read Rho
  • Strike MEMORY for data storage

ACCURACY
  • Noise monitoring before injection
  • SP compensation including linear drift
  • Digital stacking for noise reduction
  • Standard deviation computation

RELIABILITY
  • Weather proof.
  • Wide operational temperature range from -20°C to +70°C.
  • Shock resistant fiber-glass case.

ACCESSORY: MULTI-ELECTRODE SYSTEM
  • The SYSCAL Junior can be connected to electrode switching nodes and drive automatic data acquisition (E-NODE and/or MULTINODE)
