Multi-electrode electrical resistivity & induced polarization imaging instrument SibER

Multi-electrode geoelectrical solution SibER is meant to combine the functions of transmitter, multi-channel receiver and switchbox in single protective case. The device is designed for electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) and vertical electrical sounding (VES) in IP or resistivity method. SibER can also be used for electrical logging. Our company manufactures reinforced sealed cable systems for electrical surveys with any electrode spacing that is perfectly compatible with SibER.

• display of generated and measured signals in real time;
• automatic output of the obtained data quality evaluation based on the analysis of the input signals;
• easily editable composite measurement templates for data collection in a single work cycle and possibility of subsequent separate processing;
• selective or continuous quality check of electrodes grounding;
• possibility of disconnecting unused electrodes;
• adjustable power comsumption;
  
• automatic detection of power failures, open circuits and short-circuits.

Three versions of SibER vary not only in the number of electrodes (from 32 to 64), but also in the output power of transmitters: 120 or 220 W. SibER 64K15 has also the capability to connect an external 1000 W transmitter.

The instrument can be controlled by PC, tablet or smartphone via Wi-Fi connection or Ethernet. The Xeris measurement control software is designed for Windows and Android OS. In addition to measurement triggering and control functions, the program allows data filtering and storage of user-created measurement protocols, including a combination of several arrays - Schlumberger, dipole-dipole, three-electrode (forward and reverse), two-electrode and others. Voltage, pulse duration, number of accumulations and other settings can be varied during measurements. Interrupted measurements can be resumed. It is also possible to specify the exact coordinates of remote electrodes, which are to be considered at data processing stage. 

SibER 48K12 and 64K15 allows continuous profiling with the transfer of the first segment of the electrode cable of the previous arrangement to the end of the next one.

Output data formats are compatible with popular postprocessing programs, such as: ZondRes2D or ZondRes3D.
