General information

General purpose of using VIY3 series GPR

Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) is designed for non-destructive sounding and inspecting of different

structures and underground objects.

GPR can be applied by geophysicists, construction companies, can be used in different ecological

investigations, utilities condition assessment (including both metallic and non-metallic, plastic, concrete,

asbestos pipes). Can be used for searching and mapping of: underground water sources leaks, oil and other

dangerous liquids underground pollutions; ground water level.

Full software set can be downloaded for free here:

http://viy.ua/download/install_VIY_SGPR.zip

Components Description

GPR consists of antenna unit connected via USB to computer (laptop). Operator controls antenna unit work

by the Synchro3 program: he adjusts GPR presets, checks the battery state, and makes GPR sounding.

Acquired GPR data are displayed on the screen as GPR proles and are stored in computer memory. All the

GPR data can be processed in Synchro3 program. The program Planner displays resulting processed data

on the plan (or map). Data also can be displayed as 3D visualization.

VIY3-070 GPR

VIY3-070 consists of 2 separate units - AB3-070t Transmitter antenna unit and AB3-070r Receiver antenna

unit. The sockets DATA, ADD, and SYNCHRO are located on the Receiver unit. The sockets SYNCHRO and

CHARGE are located on the Transmitter unit. Each antenna unit has its own battery inside. Battery replacing

is easy: user just has to unscrew 4 screws, remove the cover, and extract the battery from the battery

compartment. Each antenna unit has carrying handles attached on the sides. The rings attached on the top

of units are intended for antenna units assembling together and for GPR system been towing during

sounding process.

VIY3-125 GPR

Picture below shows the arrangement of the main details of AB3-125 antenna unit. DATA socket is located

on the front, and ADD socket – on the rear of the antenna unit. The cover of the battery compartment is xed

by 4 screws. For battery replacement user has to unscrew them and remove the cover. The carrying handles

are attached on the sides of antenna unit. This antenna unit can be carried by one or two people. The rings

attached on the front top of antenna unit are intended for GPR system been towing during sounding process.
