Professional Explorer (Pro Ex) System
Ground Penetrating Radar for Structural Investigations Introducing the Professional Explorer (Pro Ex) System from MALÅ; a modular, full-range Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) system designed to meet the needs of the advanced professional user. At the heart of this new system is the Pro Ex Control Unit. Designed on a completely new technical platform, the Pro Ex is the most versatile control unit in the MALÅ range and replaces the World famous RAMAC/GPR CUII as the new high-end full range system. GPR offers a practical, reliable and most importantly nondestructive solution for subsurface geophysical and geotechnical investigations. The Pro Ex is fully compatible with MALÅ’ s broad range of antennas and offers a flexible and versatile approach to detecting subsurface targets and geological layers accurately, efficiently and in real-time. MALÅ’ s modular design approach offers you a flexible and affordable choice to system configuration. You need only invest in what you need today; however, as your needs change, so can your MALÅ GPR system.
Main Applications
Whatever your application, the Pro Ex™ can assist in providing solutions to your subsurface investigation needs in areas such as:
- Archeology & Forensics
- Borehole
- Concrete NDT & Civil Engineering
- Environmental
- Geological/Mining
- Ice & Snow Measurements
- Research
- Road & Transportation
- Utility Detection & Mapping
- And more!
Specific Features
MALÅ is renowned for its innovative designs and the tradition continues with this third-generation digital control unit. The new Pro Ex boasts a list of practical features rolled into one rugged design suitable for advanced and professional users.
- Modular Design
- Dual hardware channel (4 data channels) as standard
- Multi-channel: max. 8 antennas (16 data channels)
- Supports all MALÅ antennas
- Supports Array configurations
- Ethernet communications
- Pulse Repetition Frequency (PRF): 100 KHz (upgradeable)
- 100 KHz PRF per hardware channel
System Configuration
The ProEx is a modular digital radar control unit with multichannel functionality; the base unit comes standard with two hardware channels (4 data channels). This allows connection of two separate antennas for simultaneous data collection whilst also providing a third “virtual antenna”. By adding optional expansion units, the system can be expanded to eight hardware channels (16 data channels) to operate up to eight individual antennas. A choice of three antenna modules (coax, optical and high frequency) allows the user to connect any MALÅ antenna in various configurations, for single, dual or multi-antenna operation. Thus enabling a wide range of advanced measurements to be carried out.
