ARES

AUTOMATIC RESISTIVITY SYSTEM

2000 Vp-p - 5A - 850 W (Adjustable 300 / 600 / 850 W)

Applications:
groundwater explorations, geotechnical investigations,
measurements on dams and dikes, environmental studies,
geological surveys, mineral prospecting, archaeology and
many others.

Resistivity & IP
Up to 10 adjustable IP windows
2D/3D Resistivity Tomography
Multi - Electrode Arrays, VES, RP, SP
Borehole Survey
Easy-Control System

ARES represents a new well equipped resistivity and IP imaging system of the third
generation designed by GF instrument.
its variability, easy operating (without PC), feeding from a standard 12 V battery
and compatibility with widespread interpretation software makes ARES a cost effective and useful
tool for working groups and research teams
