User manual User manual Introduction The LAUR (Line acquisition radio unit) is used as an element of an LRU relay cell. It can be inserted anywhere in a seismic line to collect the data from FDUs on either side of it, and relay the data to the associated LRU. Built in the LAUR is a full performance LAUL, optimizing the deployment of field hardware. Figure 1 LAUR Operating in a relatively low radio frequency band (215 MHz to 250 MHz), it can be used in difficult areas. The user can choose between various configurations, depending on the required data rate and on the expected transmission range. Using a handheld terminal as a Field Deployment Aid, the radio link can be set up adequately prior to connecting the LAUR to the seismic network. The parameter settings can also be changed through the HCI workstation. NOTE: The available frequency band depends on the regional settings chosen by the user when installing software on the HCI workstation and on the handheld terminal. For compliance with Canadian and US communications regulations, the frequency band is limited to respectively: • Canada: 217 to 218 MHz and 219 to 220 MHz. • USA: 216 to 217 MHz and 218 to 219 MHz. November 24, 2004 User manual Typical setup CAUTION If you wish to test a radio relay cell through a wireline link between the coaxial connectors of the LRU and the LAUR, use a 60 dB (minimum), 20 W attenuator. 12 V Attenuator LRU 20 W 60 dB min. 12 V LAUR Figure 2 Test setup CAUTION Antenna height is limited to 6.1 metre near airports. Do not raise any antenna near electric power distribution lines! WARNING LAUR antennas should be kept at least 10 m away from any FDU.
