The Tipix 2200-Tipix 3000 is a transmitter designed for deep induced polarization (IP) and resistivity surveys.
The TIPIX 2200 is a transmitter specifically designed for deep induced polarization or resistivity surveys. This transmitter is typically used in combination with V-Fullwaver or Elrec Pro receivers.
This entry-level instrument is designed for ease of use and high productivity, combined with high protection against misuse. This extremely rugged device has proven reliable even in very cold climates (down to -40°C) or humid environments. It can inject up to 2200 W (or 3000 W) into the ground and up to 13 A, making it suitable, even in conductive soils, for measuring resistivity and IP at medium depths. It is powered by a standard generator.
Thanks to the ability to limit current, power, and voltage, as well as various self-tests and quality controls of the injected signal, the TIPIX provides excellent protection for both the device and the operator. This instrument features four buttons on the front panel that allow the operator to manually select different injection voltage levels. The “auto-range” mode automatically selects the optimal injection level based on the contact resistance.
NEW:
MASTER-SLAVE mode allows two TIPIX units to be connected in series, regardless of their power ratings. This type of connection adds the maximum voltage and power of the two systems to increase the amount of injected current at medium-high contact resistance values.
Using two TIPIX 3000 units connected in series increases the maximum power to 6000 W and the maximum voltage to 5000 V (or 10000 Vpp).
Using MASTER-SLAVE mode is very simple, as it is automatically recognized and the maximum voltage and power of the combined system are automatically updated. The two TIPIX can be powered by a single motor-generator, making the complete system lightweight and portable.
To increase productivity, multiple TIPIX can be synchronized via external GPS. The Toff time used for IP measurements is then synchronized, allowing multiple IP measurements to be performed at nearby locations without interference between measurements. This option can also be used to increase the signal-to-noise ratio by injecting multiple synchronized TIPIX.
