Geophysical Survey Systems, Inc. 1
Section 1: Getting Started
Thank you for purchasing a UtilityScan from GSSI! We at GSSI have taken advantage of our decades of experience in
GPR design and coupled it with the valuable advice of professional locators to re-invent the standard in locating. Please
carefully check over your system and please contact GSSI at [phone] if you are missing any components.
Tablet Functionality
The UtilityScan is controlled by a portable table. You have your choice of wireless (WiFi) or wired
connectivity with the antenna. GSSI suggests that you keep this tablet as part of a dedicated GPR
collection system and avoid installing unrelated software or apps.
Powering and Booting Up
Important: Insert a fully charged battery into the antenna and ensure the tablet is fully charged before continuing.
1 To power up the UtilityScan:
a) Press the “Power” button on the top of the antenna housing. The antenna boot cycle takes approximately 20-30
seconds. The LED ring around the power button will flash blue one the antenna is booted. Wait for the ring to
flash blue before starting the UtilityScan app on the tablet.
b) Start the app on the tablet. You will see a WiFi network named “GSSI_US1XXXX” where XXXX is the serial
number of your antenna. You will see multiple networks if you have more than one UtilityScan antenna within
range. Be sure to select the network corresponding to correct UtilityScan antenna.
