GUIDELINE ABEM Terrameter LS User Manual

ABEM Terrameter LS

RESISTIVITY AND IP IMAGING

Streamlined for productivity

The world leading resistivity/IP instrument

ABEM Terrameter LS can be used for almost every possible application,

from advanced 4D waste deposit monitoring to 1D soundings.

Resistivity/IP surveying is a versatile

geophysical method that is suitable for

a broad range of applications and

environments, such as groundwater

prospecting, mineral exploration, geological

mapping and geotechnical investigations.

Configuration requirements can vary greatly,

depending on the application, the ABEM

Terrameter LS can be customized to a

client’s every need, depending on budget.

ABEM Terrameter LS VES is the entry

level instrument and is optimized for 1D

soundings. With an easy to use graphical

user interface the operator has full control

of field procedures and quality of data.

Typical applications

Using advanced technology in the design of

measurement channels, and a high power

current transmitter, surveying depths that

were previously not considered possible can

be achieved.

For 2D or 3D imaging (ERT) the ABEM

Terrameter LS is the optimum choice. It

is a standalone solution featuring multiple

measurement channels, current transmitter,

electrode selector, computer and a

graphical user interface all built-in. The

robust and rugged aluminum casing meets

IEC IP66 classification and allows for use

in the harshest conditions.

Features

Archaeology

Built-in computer

4, 8 or 12 measurement channels

High power constant current
transmitter

Resistivity, IP and SP measure
modes

1D, 2D, 3D and 4D
measurements

Sunlight visible LCD with
graphical user interface

Internal electrode selector

Military grade connectors

High quality cables

ABEM Terrameter LS

The instrument can be equipped with up

to 12 measurement channels for greater

efficiency and productivity in the field. The

standard imaging cable system featuring

four cables with 21 electrode take-outs enables

the use of 81 unique electrodes, while additional

electrodes can be connected using external

electrode selectors. This flexibility allows for

hundreds or even thousands of electrodes

to be employed in big 2D or 3D surveys.

As the system has a computer running a Linux

operating system, modern connectivity such

as on-board GPS, Ethernet and USB are available.

It also allows for remote control of the instru-

ment, making it possible to take measurements

without being close to the instrument, or for

the ABEM support team to conduct upgrades,

support and troubleshooting remotely.

ABEM Terrameter LS

Designed for efficiency

ABEM Terrameter LS is an instrument with advanced features

yet easy to use and streamlined for productivity. With all

the necessary protocols pre-installed, set-up time for

measurement parameters can be kept to a minimum.

During measurements the system will give continuous

information about the quality of data and show the results

directly on screen. Multichannel arrays, such as the Multiple

Gradient, ensure that measurements protocols can be

completed quickly. The commitment to data quality and

productivity doesn´t stop at the instrument, ABEM software can

be used for instrument maintenance, simplifying downloading

and processing the data before inversion. After the inversion,

visualization tools can be used to make the inversed data

more presentable and ready for use in a report.
