Introducing the Syscal Kid Switch 24
Automated 24 Electrode Switching System
Terraplus is pleased to announce the new
multinode resistivity imaging option of its subcompact resistivity meter, the Syscal Kid.
Specially designed for shallow resistivity imaging the Switch 24 features an internal
switching board supporting 24 electrodes. Two cable strings with 12 electrode take outs
each are connected to the back of the meter. Software is provided to automatically perform
roll along surveys.
The all new user interface is quickly absorbed so that a wide range of users from
archaeologists, to civil engineers, to geologists, can easily take advantage of the Switch
24's capabilities. Select the type of array, enter your electrode spacing, and tell the
instrument to start. When sampling is complete move the cables down the line and start
again. During data upload chose the profiles to be merged, create a final data file, and
send it to Surfer for pseudo section display, or to your imaging software for modeling.
Surveys are quickly completed, even with a single operator.

Electrodes were spaced at 0.5m intervals. Total time to set up equipment, collect data,
invert data, and print results was just over an hour.

The electrode string is made of heavy duty cable, as typically is used in the seismic
industry. Each cable has 12 take outs, spaced at 1, 2, or 3m intervals. A cable with 3m
spacing is 40m long and weighs about 2.5Kg. Thus, with two 3m cables a profile would be
72m, or roughly 236 feet. Depending on the type of array used this would yield survey
depths in the 200 foot range, or 70m.

General Specifications
The Syscal Kid features what is called auto ranging. This means that the instrument
automatically sets the correct output voltage based on the level of the measured signal.
No more fussing with output voltage selections to get the best measured signal. The Kid
also features automatic SP compensation, but does it better than most. What is unique to
all of the Syscal meters though, is that during stacking, with every third stack, SP is
again measured and reapplied, so that any drift during the stacking process is corrected.
The result is a very accurate measurement, even in the presence of significant noise.
