Before returning any equipment to GSSI, a Return Material Authorization (RMA) number must be obtained. Please call the GSSI Customer Service Manager who will assign an RMA number. Be sure to have the serial number of the unit available Regulatory Information The use of GSSI antennas is governed by different regulatory agencies around the world. Specific antenna models must be certified for legal operation in your country. Please read and understand the following regulatory passages that pertain to your antenna. A listing of certified antennas by region can be found www.geophysical.com/regulatoryinformation.htm. Notice Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device. Survey Wheels All of GSSI’s antennas are designed to operate with survey wheels. Some antennas have built-in survey wheels, including the 62000 Palm Antenna and the Mini-SIR. The series of concrete antennas, including the 5100, 5101 and 52600, have survey wheels built in to their special carts, the 614 and 615. The larger antennas, including the 3101D, 5103, 50400 and 5104 are used in the larger carts, the 623 and 643, which have survey wheels built in to them. Various sizes of survey wheels can also be attached directly to these antennas. This includes the 611, 620 and 622. For highway surveys we use the 630 Distance measuring Instrument (DMI).

Certains modèles d'antenne spécifiques doivent être certifiés pour un fonctionnement légal dans votre pays. Merci de lire et comprendre les passages suivants de réglementation qui s'appliquent à votre antenne. Une liste des antennes certifiées par région peut être trouvée sur www.geophysical.com / regulatoryinformation.htm. Avis La mise en œuvre est soumise aux deux conditions suivantes: (1) cet appareil ne doit pas provoquer d'interférences et (2) cet appareil doit accepter toute interférence, y compris les interférences qui peuvent causer un fonctionnement non désiré de l'appareil. Roues codeuses - Odomètres Toutes les antennes GSSI sont conçus pour fonctionner avec des roues codeuses. Certaines antennes, comprenant l'antenne 62000 Palm et le Mini-SIR, intègrent directement les roues codeuses. La série d'antennes pour le béton, comprenant les 5100, 5101 et 52600, ont des roues codeuses intégrées à leurs chariots spéciaux, les 614 et 615. Les antennes plus grandes, telles que la 3101D, 5103, 50400 et 5104 sont utilisées dans les chariots plus grands, les 623 et 643, qui ont des roues codeuses intégrées. Différentes tailles de roues codeuses peuvent être également être fixées directement sur ces antennes, comprenant les 611, 620 et 622. Pour les auscultations de chaussées nous utilisons l’odomètre 630 (DMI : Distance Measuring Instrument).

The Model 50400S can be used in continuous, survey wheel or static stacking modes. The 50400S The Model 50400S is a 400 MHz “smart” antenna. This antenna has a special chip in it that will work with future control units (not the SIR-3000 or SIR-20). This chip will identify the antenna to the SIRsystem control unit so that the controller will be able to automatically load up the correct default settings. The 50400S will function with a SIR-3000, SIR-20 or any of GSSI’s previous controllers, but the user will need to manually set the collection parameters on the SIR-system. System Setup - Standard Settings Preset Settings: Range/Depth is approximately 2.5m (8 ft) assuming a dielectric constant of 9. Setup Mode: Manual System Run Mode: Survey Wheel (recommended) or Continuous Range: 50 ns Number of Gain Points: 5 Vertical Low Pass Filter: 800 MHz Vertical High Pass Filter: 100 MHz Samples per Scan: 512 Bits per Sample: 16 Scans per Second: Set to 120 (recommended). Deep Profiling: For approximately 5 m (16 ft) with a dielectric of 9. Setup Mode: Manual System Run Mode: Survey Wheel (recommended) or Continuous Range: 100 ns Number of Gain Points: 5 Vertical Low Pass Filter: 800 MHz Vertical High Pass Filter: 100 MHz Samples per Scan: 1024 Bits per Sample: 16 Scans per Second: Set to 120 (recommended). Signal Position Place the antenna on the ground and use the Automatic Signal Position selection. The system will servo and place the direct coupling pulse at the top of the time range window. To test that you have the correct position, raise the antenna off the ground and you will observe on your system that the antenna transmit pulse will separate from the reflection from the ground. The higher that you raise the antenna, the further apart will be the two pulses. To assure that the direct coupling pulse (time zero) is recorded the user should place the signal Position servo in the manual mode. The signal should then be moved down in the time range window until the entire surface pulse is visible and there is some ‘dead time’ or flat trace visible above the direct coupling pulse in the time range window. 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, the last gain point should not exceed 65dB. Specifications Center frequency: 400 MHz Pulse duration: 2.5 ns Depth of penetration: 0-16 ft depending on dielectric permittivity Size of sensor: 12126.5 inches (303017cm) Weight of sensor: 14 lbs (6.4 kg)
