 ELREC 10, Ten dipole IP receiver

The With graphics display for data quality monitoring

TEN SIMULTANEOUS DIPOLES
TWENTY PROGRAMMABLE CHARGEABILITY WINDOWS
HIGH ACCURACY AND SENSITIVITY

ELREC 10 is a ten dipole Time Domain Induced Polarization receiver designed for high productivity surveys in Mineral Exploration. ELREC 10 is a highly sensitive receiver and features a large graphic display for user friendly operation and a Cole-Cole parameter computation for in-the-field time constant analysis.

Ten dipoles:
The ten dipoles of ELREC 10 offer an increased productivity in the field for dipole-dipole, gradient or extended poly-pole arrays. It is also possible to measure five differential (non adjacent) dipoles, for special electrode configurations.

Twenty programmable windows:
Beside classical arithmetic and logarithmic modes, ELREC 10 also offers twenty fully programmable windows for a higher flexibility in the definition of the IP decay curve.

User Friendly Interface:
user friendly interface has been set up in ELREC 10 with a minimal number of key strokes for each operation.

Intelligent Stacking Process:
When the electric noise has strong non-linear effects, the standard arithmetic stacking process requires a long acquisition time to measure the IP effect ; a proprietary intelligent stacking algorithm has been specially developed in ELREC 10 to deal with strong non-linear SP bursts and minimize the acquisition time for a given reading accuracy

Monitoring Display:
A large graphic LCD (128x240 dots) permits the operator to display simultaneously the IP decay curves of the ten dipoles during the acquisition, for a global visualization of the readings and for better quality control. Before the acquisition, the ELREC 10 can be used as a one channel DC graphic display, for monitoring the noise level and checking the primary voltage waveform, through a continuous display process.

Cole-Cole Parameters:
An inversion procedure has been implemented to compute Cole-Cole time constant at the end of the acquisition. This allows a possible grain size discrimination analysis.

Internal Memory:
The memory can store up to 3200 dipole readings, each reading including the full set of parameters characterizing the measurements. An explicit data storage procedure has been developed including the display of warning messages for data not yet stored. File names are available for a better memory management of sets of readings.

Field proof Instrument:
ELREC 10 operates in a wide temperature range and features a fiber-glass case for resistance to field shocks and vibrations.
