X3M™
The Integrated Radar Control Unit Introducing the X3M integrated radar control unit from MALÅ. Compatible with MALÅ’s 100, 250, 500 and 800 MHz shielded antennas, the X3M is designed to fit directly onto the antenna. This combined with the built-in electronic design, low weight and compact size make the X3M one of the smallest GPR systems available. An Ethernet link between the X3M and the XV Monitor, or Notebook PC¹, offers high speed point to point communications for reliable and high quality data transfer. The built-in auto stacking feature ensures optimum data quality at maximum survey speed. The low power consumption offers in excess of ten hours measuring time with a standard battery. The convenience of this flexible and modular design means that an X3M based GPR system can be quickly and easily configured for use across a wide range of applications, simply by changing the antenna. This flexible approach offers you an affordable choice to system configuration. You need only invest in what you need today; however, as your needs change, so can your X3M system.
System Configuration
Depending on the application, the X3M system is typically configured as either a pushing or pulling system. As a pushing system the X3M control unit is connected to either a 250, 500 or 800 MHz antenna which is mounted into the Rough Terrain Cart. As a pulling system, a measuring wheel is fitted to the mounting block on the back of the shielded antenna and then the antenna with X3M control unit fitted is pulled across the survey areas by means of a handle or strap. In this set-up, the user wears the XV Monitor or notebook PC on a shoulder/ chest harness/ holder for portability and ease of viewing.
