Certificate
To Whom it may concern:
This is to certify that electromagnetic radiation emissions from transducers (antenna with
transmitting and receiving electronics) manufactured by Geophysical Survey Systems, Inc.
(GSSI) DO NOT constitute a safety or health hazard to operating personnel.
Emissions from GSSI transducers are below the 10mW/cm² (100W/m²) level specified by the
United States Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations
Paragraph 1910.97 states:
"For normal environmental conditions and for incident electromagnetic frequencies from
100 MHz to 100 GHz, the radiation protection guide is
10 mW/cm² (milliwatt per square centimeter) as averaged over any possible 0.1 hour
period."
Emissions data using GPR SIR System-10, SIR-2, SIR-3, SIR-4, SIR-8, SIR-20, SIR-2000 and
SIR-3000 (at the standard Pulse Repetition Frequency of 100 KHz) with the antenna Models
listed and levels of Electromagnetic Radiation are specified herein:

Model 52600 Antenna
Thank you for purchasing a Model 52600 antenna. The Model 52600 represents the current state
of the art in high resolution concrete structure imaging. The Model 52600 antenna has greatly
improved resolution over previous high frequency antennas. Not only is the frequency higher,
but the antenna has the ability to see objects at very close distances. The Model 52600 is the
highest frequency ground coupled antenna available on the market today.
Note: The Model 52600 antenna cannot be used with the large, three-wheeled utility cart without
the survey wheel adaptor cable. If you intend to use the antenna with the utility survey cart,
contact your GSSI account representative to make sure that you have all of the necessary
cabling.
System Setup - Standard Settings
Note: You must follow these setup instructions exactly to use the Model 52600 antenna.
Positioning of the signal will be the last step in the process.
System Run Mode: Survey Wheel (recommended) or Continuous
Range: 8 ns
Number of Gain Points: 2
Vertical Low Pass FIR Filter: 5000 MHz
Vertical High Pass FIR Filter: 400 MHz
Vertical High Pass IIR Filter: 10 MHz
Samples per Scan: 512
Bits per Sample: 16
Transmit Rate: Set to the maximum rate allowed by the SIR System, but not higher than
200 KHz.
Scans per Second: Set to the maximum scan rate allowed by the SIR System.
Signal Position
Place the antenna on the concrete floor and use the Automatic Signal Position selection. You
may need to try this 2 to 3 times to get the system to lock on to the surface pulse. If after 3 tries
the surface pulse is not in the signal window, point the antenna into the air and again try the
Automatic Position.
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.

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.
Data Collection
Collecting Data Using The Survey Wheel With The Standard Settings
System Run Mode: Distance.
Number of Scans per Meter: 300 (90 scans per foot) or higher
Remote Operation
•
Pressing the thumb rocker switch button for less than one second will place a marker in the
data.
•
Pressing the button for longer than 6 seconds will close any open files and turn off the
transmitter. To resume, the data acquisition sequence must be repeated.

Signal Positioning: Use the same procedure as in standard setup
Set the Scans per Meter parameter to 80 scans per meter (24 scans per foot)
Calibrate the survey wheel before collecting data
Note: See Bridge Assessment Manual before proceeding.

Specifications
Center frequency: 2600 MHz
Pulse duration: 0.4 ns
Depth of penetration: 0-12 inches depending on type of concrete
Size of sensor: 1.5 x 4 x 6.5 inches (3.8 x 10 x 16.5 cm)
The 52600 controller box has two brackets to
mount the box to the extension handle. The
thumbscrews are provided with the SIR-3000.
The connector with the red circle is for
the control cable (direct to the
SIR-3000). The connector with the
blue circle is for the survey minicart
cable. This cable carries the
information from the survey wheel,
marker switch, and the bar code reader.
