Optional Equipment
9.1 Super Sensor
The Super Sensor is a hig hresolution antenna, which is specially adjusted to detect metals. Yet it is also
possible to recognize larger voids with this antenna. A particular characteristic is to distinguish ferrous
metals from nonferrous metals. This discrimination is possible in the operating mode Discrimination.
Compared to the standard Horizontal GPR-antennas the Super Sensor can find much smaller and deeper
situated metal objects.
9.1.1 Usage
The Super Sensor can be used in the following operating modes:
•
Magnetometer
•
Ground Scan
•
Discrimination
To use the Super Sensor with the device, you just have to connect it to the main unit. Therefore you have
to plug in the connector of the antenna in the appropriate input of the device. Hold the antenna always
vertical to the ground in your hand, whereby the cable should come out at the upper end of the antenna.
The figure 9.1 shows how the Super Sensor has to be hold in a correct way.
The Super Sensor should not be swinged nor moved up and down during the measurement. The more
even you hold the antenna the better will be your measured graphical results. The distance between the
ground and lower part of the antenna should be about 10 cm, but can be enlarged depending on the
terrain conditions.
The orientation of the antenna should not be changed during the complete measurement!
