ARES – Automatic Resistivity System

ARES

2000 V_p-p – 5 A – 850 W transmitter

Single-channel receiver

2D/3D resistivity & IP tomography

VES, RP, SP measurements

Up to 10 adjustable IP windows

Easy-control system

Active multi-electrode cables

Passive cables with switch box

Roll-along possibility

Applications:

Groundwater explorations, geotechnical investigations, monitoring of dams and dikes, environmental studies, pollution plumes mapping, geological surveys, mineral prospecting, archaeology, detecting of cavities, underwater, marine, borehole and cross-hole measurements.

ARES represents a well equipped resistivity and IP imaging system. Its variability, easy field operation (without PC), feeding from a standard 12 V battery or from a generator, rich support of standard and special electrode arrays and compatibility with widespread interpretation software makes ARES a cost effective and useful tool for working groups and research teams.
