Geophysical Survey Systems, Inc. Model 52600 Antenna
System Settings and User Notes
Gain Check
The surface pulse should be about 2/3 the width of the screen. If it is greater, reduce the Gains
manually. If the signal appears too small you can manually increase the Gains, but the first gain
point should never exceed 10dB.
Minicart
Your Model 52600 is designed to fit into the Model 614 or Model 615 minicart. Using the
antenna with the minicart allows you to take advantage of distance-based data collection which
is possible with a survey wheel. A survey wheel (rear-axle of the cart) tracks the distance
traveled and allows consistent scan spacing. The minicart is available as a separate purchase and
is also compatible with the Model 5100/5100B high frequency general purpose antenna sold
with the StructureScan systems and the Model 5101 deep penetration concrete antenna. Please
contact your GSSI account representative for details.
Note: The red switch on the underside of
the minicart’s handle operates as a
‘deadman’ switch. The switch must be
fully depressed to activate the transmitter.
If you release the red switch during data
collection, the system will automatically
turn off the transmitter within
approximately 10 seconds unless you
depress the switch again. This feature
makes it legal to scan walls and ceilings
within the United States and the European
Community. Operation of the 52600 on a
wall or ceiling without a ‘deadman’ switch
enabled cart or handle constitutes illegal operation within the USA as per FCC regulations or
within the European Community as per EU regulations.
