Measurement Procedures
6.1
General
For general information on geoelectrical imaging please consult a modern geophysical
textbook or tutorial.
Note!
Moisture and/or dirt in the connectors will compromise
the data quality and may even cause permanent damage
to the connectors
. Always keep the protection caps
clean and in place whenever possible. Let the
protection caps protect each other when the cables
are connected as shown in
Figure 45
.
Dangerous voltages and currents are transmitted by
the Terrameter via electrode cables connected to it
or an external Electrode Selector! During the entire
duration
of
an
electrode
contact
test
or
measurement session it is the responsibility of the
operator always to have full control of the entire
electrode cable layout, so that people and animals do
not get close to the electrodes and electrode take-
outs connected to the measurement cables!
6.2
Essential Equipment
The following equipment is mandatory for data acquisition using the ABEM
Terrameter LS System.
•
To ensure proper function during geoelectrical imaging with medium to high
power the Terrameter should be powered from an external battery, for instance a
gelled lead-acid battery or a car battery (25 – 70 Ah)
