Systems

To give you an idea of our wide range of products, we would like to give you an overview of our products and their possible applications. We produce all of our devices ourselves and are happy to meet your individual requirements.

We will be happy to advise you and find the geophysical measurement system that is best suited to your task.

Electrodynamic-Vibrator System ElViS VII

Like its predecessor ElViS III, ElViS VII convinces with its mobile and easy handling. While the proven application remains the same, the output force is increased to about 1,100 N. This is made possible by the newly developed, cascading linear motor. The new system increases the penetration depths for the SH source to up to 150 m and for the P source to up to 500 m.

about 150 m (zero-offset VSP: about 200 m for S-waves). For P-waves > 500 m.

Seismic vibrator source ElViS III

The electrodynamic vibrator system ElViS III is ideal for near-surface measurements. Due to its relatively low weight and its mounting under a dismountable wheelbarrow unit, this seismic vibrator source can be used very flexibly. You can operate ElViS III as an S-wave unit (ElViS III S8) as well as a P-wave unit (ElViS III P8).

ATTENTION! ElViS III is out of production!

Landstreamer & Snowstreamer

Land streamer and snow streamer are the ideal addition for seismic applications: the land streamer excels especially on solid surfaces due to its flexibility and simple set-up. For applications on ice, snow or icy ground, we have developed the snow streamer.

The design and handling of the land streamer and snow streamer enable particularly fast measurement progress. The systems consist of individual segments in the form of non-stretch belts of 24 m length, which can be coupled continuously and as often as required. This makes a large number of traces possible and allows for a wide range of applications. Base unit carriers with exchangeable geophone plates are mounted at freely selectable intervals. They can be used with all geophones and seismometers on the market. Cable pockets with full-length zips that can be opened completely accommodate the cables and connections of the geophones. The segment lengths allow for small packing units that can be transported in Zarges K 412 roll boxes, for example.

Seismic impulse source SISSY

The seismic impulse source SISSY is an ideal signal source for refraction and reflection seismic measurements in difficult-to-access terrain. The electrical ignition device of the technical cartridge ensures special safety. Your advantage: the technical cartridge can only be ignited electrically with an ignition device, which means that essential safety aspects are taken into account during handling.

The technical cartridge is classified by BAM according to 1.4 S UN 0323. The ignition time is also the start (trigger) of the measuring process. Due to the short ignition time of only about 0.3 ms, SISSY can also be used very well with seismic stacking. Due to its low weight of approx. 10 kilograms, the SISSY impulse source is particularly suitable for applications in densely built-up areas or in terrain that is difficult to access.

 

ATTENTION! The required cartridges are no longer available!

Accessories

Power box

The power box provides a safe power supply for geophysical measurements in the field. It can be used for the power supply of a GEODE (Geometrics), the additional supply of a notebook or other applications.

The box has compact built-in batteries for field operation with special cabling. A waterproof Peli 1300 case (orange) is specially adapted to hold a rechargeable lead-gel battery. Maintenance-free with matching connections.

POWER BOX Technical Data
2 parallel built-in safety sockets for connecting consumers or the charger
Total weight 11.5 kg
Maintenance-free lead-gel battery 12 V, 27 Ah, embedded in PE foam (PF537)
CTEK charger for 12 V lead batteries, overcharge and reverse-polarity protection, short-circuit proof, charge indicator

Adapter box ADB-8

Adapter box with 61-pin plug socket, e.g. for GEODE (Geometrics), and 61-pin flange socket (PIN). With the help of the adapter box, the pilot channel (for Vibroseis) can be fed directly into the recorder unit. Furthermore, it is possible to assign individual inputs, e.g. for VSP measurements, control of individual geophones, accelerometers, etc.

Glass-fibre reinforced case fitted with
61-pin plug socket
61-pin male socket (PIN)
2 selector switches
Connection cable for supplying a pilot sweep to a takeout

Additional banana sockets can be used for channels 2–6 (e.g. for VSP measurements, geophone checks, external sensors)

Interface cable

To accommodate interface cables, e.g. when using Geode recorder systems (Geometrics), Schill drums IT 380 SO or IT 300 SO are modified.

The cores are widened by approx. 2 cm to accommodate 125 m of cable. In addition, there is a parallel flange socket on the side of the drum for extension up to 250 m. For direct connection, 2 m of cable can be taken from the interior.
