8 • Conductivity Meter Kit
Conductivity meter kit is designed for exploration in agriculture, archaeology, and general soil
sciences are common.
Components:
• UgCS SkyHub device with or without
• Conductivity meter: Geonics EM38-MK2
• Mounting kit and cable
Conductivity Meter: Geonics EM38-MK2
Geonics EM38-MK2 provides the measurement of both the quad-phase (conductivity) and
in-phase (magnetic susceptibility) components within two distinct depth ranges
simultaneously. Geonics EM38-MK2 measures data without any requirement for
soil-to-instrument contact.
