DESCRIPTION

 The detector of water and cavity up to a depth of 250 metres.

Are you looking for water resources under the ground or for cavities hidden down to a depth of 250 metres? TheGeoSeekeris a professional geoelectric cavity and detector that measures the resistivity of the soil and visualizes its scanning data in amazing 3D graphics. A geoelectric detector designed and produced in Germany is very mobile and very easy to operate.

The GeoSeeker uses a Schlumberger-based geoelectric measuring procedure to measure the apparent soil resistivity. The detector is able to locate underground water deposits and gravel and the groundwater, as well as hollows such as caves, tunnels, chambers and so on, on the basis of this ground resistivity. The geophysical detector can therefore be used simultaneously as water finder or cavity sensor.

GeoSeeker Scan Modes

A modern Android Tablet PC controls GeoSeeker hardware components entirely. Wireless transmission is made via Wi-Fi for all commands and measurement results. You simply select one of three supported scan modes using the pre-installed software application:

• Active Scan (Accurate)

The GeoSeeker uses two electrodes to inject power into the underground soil during this scan mode. In order to calculate the final resistivity value, two additional electrodes measure the potential difference (fall of tension) in certain scan points. This way you can detect water deposits in underground areas, cave areas or even impermeable layers and barriers. You can define a specific depth range in active scans by carrying out your measurement. You can therefore define a depth of start and end between 5 meters and 250 metres (820 feet).

• Active Scan (Quick)

This scan mode is an accurate scan version quickly. Electric current is also injected into the ground and the potential differences (the voltage fall) are measured, in order to calculate the ground resistivity.

• Passive Scan

In this scan mode, the GeoSeeker uses only two electrodes to read the underground natural voltage (no electrical power is injected into the underground). In this mode only the underground water flows are detected.

GeoSeeker Software

In order to complete the measurement, the software application GeoSeeker provides simple step-by-step instructions. You just follow these images until your measurement is complete. Once the measurements have been completed, the graphic 3d measurement values are represented and displayed on the Tablet PC screen. Some color modification options are provided to optimize your underground water deposits, water-bearing gravel and groundwater level (in blue), and cavities, grottoes, tunnels, chambers, or impermeable layers (shown in reddish colors).

GeoSeeker Transportation

GeoSeeker hardware is integrated into a Peli case that is waterproof and shockproof. Your geo-electric gear is therefore well packaged and ready to carry.
