Category:

PT-24 receiver

 

  • lightweight design (weight 1.9 kg)
  • Enlarged, bright color display
  • Extended operating time

Continuous display of all necessary parameters:

  • Compass function with simultaneous schematic display of two communications:

– the first with current flowing from the generator;
– the second with flowing industrial frequency current (cables) or ECP (pipes);

  • Scales of “maximum” and “minimum”;
  • Location depths and communication current strength at all active frequencies;
  • Signal polarity –   at the point of insulation damage, the sign “+” changes to “-”;
  • Current direction function (from the generator/to the generator), to prevent accidental switching to “foreign” communication;
  • Sharp maximum mode.

In the “PROBE” mode, it searches for the position of transmitting probes and television inspection cameras that have an autonomous transmitter during in-line inspection.

Recording in the memory of the PT-24 receiver:

  • signal level from magnetic antennas and at the “SENSOR” input;
  • directions to communication;
  • indications of the depth of the communication and the magnitude of the current in it;
  • direction of search current;
  • relative polarity of the potential difference at the “SENSOR” input;
  • signal phases at the “TRADE” input;
  • operating frequencies;
  • local date and time at the time the readings were taken using GPS information;
  • coordinates of the location where readings were taken according to GPS information.

The Locator Stalker 15-24 is a ground penetrating radar (GPR) system manufactured by Stalker Radar, a company specializing in radar-based technology solutions. While there is no specific information available on the Stalker 15-24 model, typically, GPR systems like this are used for subsurface imaging, allowing users to detect and map buried objects, utilities, and geological features. Here’s a general overview of ground penetrating radar technology and its applications:

  1. Principle of Operation: Ground penetrating radar systems operate by emitting electromagnetic pulses into the ground and analyzing the reflections (echoes) that bounce back from subsurface features. The time it takes for the signal to return and the strength of the return signal provide information about the depth, size, and composition of underground objects.
  2. Subsurface Imaging: GPR systems like the Locator Stalker 15-24 are used for subsurface imaging, allowing users to visualize underground features without the need for excavation. Common applications include utility locating, archaeological surveys, geological mapping, environmental studies, and concrete inspection.
  3. Detection Capabilities: GPR systems can detect a wide range of subsurface features, including buried utilities (such as pipes, cables, and conduits), voids, foundations, geological strata, and archaeological artifacts. The system’s ability to detect these features depends on factors such as the material composition, size, and depth of the objects.
  4. Data Interpretation: The data collected by the GPR system is typically displayed in real-time on a monitor or recorded for later analysis. Users interpret the data by identifying patterns, anomalies, and signatures that correspond to specific subsurface features. Advanced signal processing techniques may be used to enhance data quality and extract valuable information from the radar data.
  5. Field Deployment: GPR systems are typically deployed in the field using handheld or cart-mounted devices. The equipment is maneuvered over the survey area, and radar data is collected along transects or grids to ensure comprehensive coverage of the site.
  6. Depth and Resolution: The depth and resolution capabilities of GPR systems vary depending on factors such as the system’s frequency, antenna configuration, and soil conditions. Higher frequencies provide better resolution but limited penetration depth, while lower frequencies offer deeper penetration but lower resolution.
  7. Data Interpretation Software: Many GPR systems come with dedicated software for data interpretation, processing, and visualization. These software packages allow users to analyze radar data, generate 3D images, and create detailed subsurface maps for further analysis and reporting.
