3 Accessories
The HDR-suit has a number of accessories, including, but not limited to: Cart’s,
measuring wheels; road-carts, pulling handles, forest kits, and wear plates. In
addition, there’s cables, battery chargers, shipping cases etc. etc. In the following just
a few of these are described.
3.1 Forest kits
Whenever GPR surveys needs to be done in rough terrain, a suitable mounting of the
antenna is needed. The antenna units are quite squarely designed, meaning that
they will stick to threes, boulders and whatever obstacles are passed. To mitigate this
inconvenience we have designed the forest kits. They consist of a ski-formed wear-
plate with a fastener in front, see figure 8 below. The design is such that the
mounting plate in front will break, prior to the antenna housing, an important feature,
if a 4-wheeler is in use.

4. Software
The HDR-antennas can only be operated with MALA XV-monitors; no windows PC
software is available. Although a description of the acquisition software is outside the
scope of this manual, a brief introduction is give below.
