General information
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.

Components Description
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 proles 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.
