GD-10 Resistivity and IP Imaging system

RES/IP/SP

Product Introduction

Developed with the latest digital and analog circuitry technology, GD-10 is a world's leading multi-
functional DC method instrument. GD-10 is a SP, Resistivity and IP meter, supporting both conventional
electrical soundings and cross-section testing with two- and three-dimensional devices. GD-10 is only
applicable to traditional ground tests, but also competent in logging, coal mine tunnel testing, and
surface and underwater testing. In addition, GD-10 has an online monitoring mode for long-distance
automatic testing, facilitating long-term unmanned monitoring.

With respect to high-power IP testing, GD-10's transmitter module can connect to DC power source up
to 1200V (peak to peak 2400V) and emission current with an output up to 6A. The unique design of
trigger synchronous with emission current enables GD-10 compatible with separate external transmitter
for use in more powerful (> 7200W) IP tests. Its unique scanning function, similar to the high density
method, can perform continuous multi-channel acquisition to complete the horizontal section survey with
one array deploy, improving the efficiency of field work at large.
In high-density testing, cabling has the greatest impact on the efficiency of construction. The size and
weight of the cable system, the efficiency of cabling, the reliability of the components, and the flexibility
to meet a variety of environments and needs are equally important. Geomative, combining the low cost
and high reliability of the traditional centralized cabling as well as efficiency and infinitely extensible
section of the distributed cabling, has come up with a piecewise centralized high-density technology.
With 5 or 10 taps as a section, the centralized exchange control is performed through both ends of the
cable head; and distributed control is applied between the cable head and the host. It’s applicable to not
only long section measurement, but also IP measurement. The cabling is simple and flexible and the
cables are portable and reliable.

GD-10 adopts modular design and implements a design philosophy of “ fully upgradeable” with low
costs in hardware maintenance and replacement. In the upgrading configuration, users are only required
to buy the appropriate authorization and components online through the GeomativeStudio, fully utilizing
the previous hardware resources. In addition, GD-10 electrical system can achieve two highlights with
the GeomativeStudio software:
- Project management mode that helps users to manage complex projects and information of
measurement tasks;
- Script management that helps users save time in the field and improve productivity.

Main applications :
-Energy resources exploration -Seawater intrusion detection
-Metallic and nonmetallic mineral resources investigation -Drilling / cross-hole detection
-Groundwater resources exploration -Geological mapping
-Underground pollutant change detection -Archeological research
-Resistivity logging -Real-time monitoring of landslides, tailings dams.

Product function

1D VES for Resistivity or IP

In 1D VES sounding, the product feature of full power 7200W (1200V * 6A) can be used to transmit,
sending pulse excitation signals to deeper layers. When the small signal product is configured, multiple
measurements can improve the precision of the test performance index through a maximum of 255
iterations。Please prepare script and set the script parameters before field test ,to reduce field
parameter input and improve work efficiency.

2D ERT resistivity or IP scanning

After ERT wiring, the ERT system of GD-10 can be used to carry out the resistivity or IP 2D/3D section
scanning. The script management of Geomative Studio can be used to customize the programming of
the test process on the PC in advance. A maximum of 3200W (800V*4A) of transmitting power can be
used. The 2D section can be completed by using the direct wiring, and the GD-10 has a centralized
system and a centralized distributed wiring system to meet the complex field test environment.

3D ERT resistivity or IP scanning
The ERT system of GD-10, using the snakelike wiring, can be used to carry out the resistivity and IP 3D
section scanning. A maximum of 3200W (800V*4A) of transmitting power can be used. When the ERT
cables are not enough, a limited wiring can be used with a combination mode of bidirectional translation,
or a rear combination mode of 2D section parallel measurement, covering a larger 3D area.

Mid gradient
High power IP mid gradient scanning
Geomative is the first in the industry to use ERT components for the scanning test of high power IP mid
gradient device. Similar to the ERT method, the user may arrange one set of AB electrode and multiple
sets of non-polarized electrodes at a time. The AB emitting electrode is connected to the AB terminal of
the GD-10. The non-polarized electrode is connected to the take-out of the ERT cable. During the
testing process, the instrument is continuously emitting, and automatically selects the MN electrode in
turn to be tested. When the number of cables and electrodes is enough, the whole horizontal section
can be scanned at the primary emission, and the efficiency is improved obviously. In the case of using
an external transmitter to transmit, only the AB terminal of the GD-10 needs to be connected in series to
the emission circuit. The GD-10 will automatically monitor the transmitting current, trigger and
synchronously acquire the MN channel.
