PowerSting - High Powered Transmitter Electrodes for High-Power Induced Polarization (IP) / Resistivity Tomograph

Productivity Features

• Self-addressing: Lay them out in any order. They will figure out where they are.
• Reversible: Both the Nodes and the cables are reversible. No need to worry if they were connected correctly.
• eInk (bistatic display): sunlight readable and do not require power to display digits.
• Hot-swappable: All components can be swapped at any time during the survey without loosing a data point.
• Simplicity: Only two components: nodes and cables. All nodes and cables are identical. Should one fail you can just replace it with another.

Safety Features

• eStop: BIG red stop button on every node. Stops current injection immediately. Universally understood stop button design.
• Audio Warning: buzzing noise prior to current injection and during current injection
• Visual warning:
• 4x Ultra bright LED`s (brighter than the iPhone 6 flash) located on 4 side of node and will blink prior to current injection and during the current injection.
• Each LED features a Fresnel optically clear light pipe with a 160 degree view angle. You can`t miss the flashing no matter what the direction you are looking at the node.
• 15kV isolation on the sleeved banana plug and socket
• Black/yellow safety label colors project attention from onlookers
• ANSI Danger High Voltage Warning Label in 3 languages: English, Spanish and Chinese
