TERRAMETER LS 2
The ABEM Terrameter LS 2 offers up to 12 measurement channels for greater efficiency and productivity in the field. The built-in electrode selector allows for connection of up to 81 unique electrodes, providing high resolution and impressive depth capabilities. With the use of external electrode selectors over 16 000 electrodes can be connected.
The new ABEM Terrameter LS 2 is available in a number of different configurations to perfectly match your requirements. The new ABEM Terrameter LS 2 introduces a unique software licensing system, making it scalable and easy to upgrade. Every instrument comes preinstalled with all hardware modules and software features, but depending on product package not all need be activated. Product packages range from basic to advanced. Upgrades are made by entering a license code in the Terrameter LS companion software. Future development will include time-limited licenses, making it possible to rent upgrades.
The ABEM Terrameter LS 2 is a standalone solution featuring built-in measurement channels, high power current transmitter, electrode selector, computer and graphical user interface. Surveying techniques range from 1D to 4D measurements. The robust and rugged aluminum casing meets IEC IP66 classification and allows for use in the harshest conditions.
The measurement channels have a new filter design for improved Induced Polarization performance. Using a new measurement mode for IP (100% duty cycle), data collection will be twice as fast and have twice the signal to noise ratio compared with conventional IP methods (50% duty cycle), if using the same settings.
Utilizing new technology alongside upcoming features in the Workbench processing package from Aarhus GeoSoftware, it will be possible to extract spectral information from time-domain IP data.
