TERRAMETER LS2

Active Guidance

Expert help and guidance at your fingertips

The Terrameter LS 2 is the first instrument to benefit from ABEM Active Guidance. In this first generation of the feature, a single press of the guidance button will detect the active page, menu item or command and bring up relevant information. The Active Guidance aims to be much more than a simple “help” function; it is there to provide tips and suggestions from our experienced technical staff, as well as helping you avoid common mistakes. It is like having one of our Application Engineers by your side at every step of your survey, and is another example of Guideline Geo’s commitment to being your guide to the subsurface.

Outstanding Data Quality

Class-leading resolution comes from every measurement channel having a dedicated 24-bit digitiser, which then auto selects the best of 3 voltage ranges, allowing both large and small signals to be recorded without clipping or loss of resolution. The electrical isolation between all channels reduces interference from strong signals ‘polluting’ any weaker responses on adjacent channels. In addition, the Terrameter LS 2 features our unique 100% duty cycle IP measurement mode, which can provide better quality chargeability data. This mode extracts IP effects from the current switch-over rather than switch-off​ period, providing a larger measurable effect and faster measurements, thus allowing time for more stacks to further improve signal-to-noise ratios.

Remote Connectivity

Operate, upgrade, download or test anywhere, at any time

Flexible remote connectivity allows you to run the instrument from any device via Wi-Fi, ethernet or a mobile connection either locally or through the internet. It also allows the ABEM support team to assist with support or troubleshooting without the need to return the instrument to a workshop. This unique feature ensures that the system is always up to date, operating correctly, with the risk of downtime kept to an absolute minimum.

A Rugged System Made For The Field

Designed and optimized for even the harshest of conditions 

The robust and durable aluminum casing meets IEC IP66 classification and allows for use in anywhere from -20°C to +70°C. Durable high specification connectors, a 6mm shatterproof glass screen and protective rubber bump strips ensure a reliable and tough system.

If the environment is unwelcoming, the 100% duty cycle IP mode, automated optimisation of the measurement protocols and up to 12 measurement channels means you’ll never be in the field longer than necessary – ensuring fast and precise resistivity and IP surveying.

Terrameter Breakout Box

Fully customize your resistivity connections

The Terrameter Breakout box provides the opportunity for totally customized electrode connections. With this rugged and weatherproof accessory, every electrode can be connected individually back to the instrument rather than using a multicore cable with multiple take-outs along its length.

This configuration can be useful for complex layouts, especially 3D grids of electrodes, laboratory modelling, or niche applications where larger cabling would be problematic or variable electrode spacing is required.

One Breakout Box would be used per multipin connector on a Terrameter LS, Terrameter LS 2 or external Electrode Selector (e.g. ES10-64C); the same box can be used for all models.
