• The SYSCAL Pro Switch is a versatile electrical resistivityineter which combines a trz~1nslnitter. a receiver and a switching unit in one single casing. It is supplied by a 12V battery.

• The ten channels of the system permit to read up to 10 readings at the same ti111e for increased productivity.

• The measurements are caiiied out automatically (output voltage. stacking 11u111be1°_ quality factor) after selection of limit values by the operator, and are stored $11 the iiitemal iiieiiioiy.

( ) is also • The Induced Polarization chargeability IP 111eas1111ed trough 20 windows for a detailed analysis of the decaying curves displayed O11 the graphic LCD screen.

• The output specifications are 800V (switch mode). 1 000V (111a1111a1 mode) for the voltage. 2.5A for the cu1Te11t and 250W for the power using the internal DC DC co11velte1' and the battery.

/ • The SYSCAL Pro Switch unit can be operated with cables in boreholes. OI` cables pulled O11 the ground by a vehicle or O11 the surface of the water by a boat for c011ti1111011s acquisition surveys.

• The SYSCAL Pro Switch uses multi-core cables for corrtrolliug a set of electrodes connected in a line O1` in several lines. The standard 11u111ber of electrodes: 24. 48. 72. 96. 120. can be irrcreased tlrrouglr Switch Pro units for 2D or 3D ground images.

The SYSCAL can be used in a 111011it01'i11g mode to repeat sequences at preset dates and 110u1's.

The SYSCAL Pro Switch units use segments (see) of multi-co1'e cables which are reversible and interchangeable.

For instance. the SYSCAL Pro Switch 48 with 101.11 spacing has 4 segments of cable a. b. c. d. with 17 electrodes each. for a total line length of 480111. The SYSCAL is placed in the middle of the line. between segments b and c.

If the profile to nreasure is longer than the line length. a ROLL ALONG technique can be applied where. after a first set of readings with (a. b. c. d). segment a is placed after segment d to form a new (b. c. cl, a) combination. etc.

All the SYSCAL Pro Switch units 48 ( . 72, 96. 120) can also be delivered with segments of cables of: - 24 electrodes for the 5m spacing - 12 electrodes for the 10m spacing

In this case. extension cables directly connect the external cable segments to the meter. Example: SYSCAL Pro Switch $8.10m spacing:
