A dedicated unit for resistivity and IP monitoring with SYSCAL Pro resistivity meter: the Syscal Monitoring Unit(SMU)


Abstract
ERT monitoring method became more common to near surface applications. It is generally used for capture fluid movement in the ground or waste landfill leakage and so on. There are many cases that monitoring measurement has to be done during medium to long period of time. In such cases, specific functions for monitoring measurement, remote operation and/or data transfer via internet and automatic battery charge using stand-alone power unit such as solar panel. IRIS instruments has developed the dedicated unit, the Syscal Monitoring Unit, for Syscal PRO of resistivity meter to add functions specified for monitoring measurement. It make is possible to change acquisition parameters, data transfer, charge batteries and health monitoring of instruments. In this paper, we constructed the monitoring system using Syscal and SMU with general 4G mobile network and it worked properly at our in-house experiment.
