Main Features
High Output
In medium and high resistivity areas, the amount of current driven into the ground depends on the maximum output voltage provided by the transmitter; in addition in low resistivity areas, it is also dependent on the maximum output power.
The VIP 5000&10000 features the following specifications:
High output voltage: 3000 V
High output power: 5 kW & 10kw
High output current: 10A & 20A
Heavy Duty Construction
Very high quality connectors, and heavy duty industrial components are used throughout. The VIP 5000 is shock resistant and weatherproof, for a higher reliability.
Fully Automated
The VIP 5000&10000 is designed for ease of operation. It has a much simplified front panel: current setting is the only parameter to be selected by the operator. All the other functions, like voltage range setting, are fully automated.
Programmable
Programming functions are also available through the front panel, but with a special key combination. These functions are used to select the parameters and options that are not normally changed during a survey: operating mode, time or frequency domain, cycle time, frequencies.This approach reduces front panel cluttering and drastically reduces the possibility of operator mistake. Instrument reliability is thus increased.
Standard Motor Generator Supply
In order to minimize transportation and maintenance costs, the local availability of a motor generator is a key factor. Being powered by a standard motor generator, the VIP 5000 offers the highest flexibility in its class. Its power input requirements are:
180 to 250 V voltage for maximum output power
45 to 800 Hz frequency
single phase or three phases
motor generator or power line supply
Full Microcompressor Control
The full microprocessor control of the VIP 5000 allows the following basic benefits:
Ease of use through interactive menus
User friendly selection of the current value
Continuous display of output current, voltage, power, ground resistance values
Display of intelligent messages and warnings in case of a problem or malfunction: overload, short circuit, input, under or overvoltage ....
Complete Display
A back-lighted liquid crystal alpha-numeric display is provided for the simultaneous indication of all output parameters. Output current, output voltage, contact resistance and output power are continuously displayed.
