    Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) systems. The dual frequencies and mechanical design combined with the various accessories, such as push-carts and pulling-kits, makes each antenna suitable for several different applications. For information on other applications and/or configurations, please contact your local ImpulseRadar representative, or contact our sales team at: sales@impulseradar.se This manual is structured as follows: •...

    CO1760 only), pulling kits and external GPS mounts, as shown in Figure 1 below. Figure 1 System overview Data collection is managed over a wireless link using a suitable Android device running the CrossOver® App (CO-App). With the CO-App, the operator may collect single line data, albeit with two frequencies, or a few different types of multi-line projects.

  • Page 5: Antennas

    Antennas Apart from physical size, CrossOver® antennas share a similar mechanical design and the same arrangement for the battery, connector panel and measuring wheel mount. A CO4080 antenna is used to highlight these features, as shown below in Figure 2.

  • Page 6: Battery

    Battery CrossOver® antennas are powered via a removeable and rechargeable li-ion battery, which is a nominal 8.7Ah/96.57Wh, providing approximately 7-hours of continuous operation. Note: ImpulseRadar Li-ion batteries are approved according to UN38.3 and can therefore be safely carried/shipped by air.

    O-ring. If needed, this O-ring can easily be removed and replaced by first removing the wheel by unscrewing the M6 retaining screw (as shown in Figure 6 below). Note: when refitting the wheel, use blue Loctite or equivalent to help secure the M6 retaining screw. ImpulseRadar CrossOver® User Manual V1.4 Page 7 (31)

    These accessories are primarily used in rough terrain, where carts are non-practical, and of course with the CO730-antenan for which no cart is available, see Figure 9, below.

  • Page 10: Overview

    Nowadays, you are more than likely to have more than one device, and you may in fact like to have more than one device set-up to collect CrossOver® data. This raises an issue in relation to which device will connect and stay connected, if more than one is within range; since, this could lead to interruptions in data acquisition.

  • Page 11: Wifi Pairing

    1. Switch on the CrossOver® antenna 2. On your Android device, navigate to Settings > Wi-Fi > and look for the CrossOver antenna ID, which will appear as ‘CO_XXXXXXXX’ (where XXXXXXXX is the serial number of the antenna) 3.

  • Page 12: Using The Crossover® App

    Using the CrossOver® App From the home screen of your Android device, press the CrossOver® App icon to enter the application’s start screen. The start screen, as shown below in Figure 11, provides access to the various functions of the CrossOver® App.
  • Page 13 Data Mode – defines how many bits are used while storing the resulting radar data. • CrossOver® antennas, below 600 MHz, can provide more than 16-bits, so 32b can be selected. The precise number of useful bits depends on the point distance, survey speed and antenna frequency.

  • Page 14: Gps-Symbols And Function

    Figure 12, above. A common situation involving the creation of a new wheel, is when using a CrossOver® antenna in conjunction with a vehicle. This typically requires a wheel encoder to be attached to a wheel on the survey vehicle itself, for trig and distance measuring purposes.

    Viewing files The CrossOver® App is not intended for data analysis; however, saved files may be viewed to assist in making decisions on-site, including QA/QC of collected data. There is no special view for project-based data, but individual profiles are accessible.

  • Page 21: Note On Survey Speed And Settings

    Note on survey speed and settings Any CrossOver®-antenna can produce very large amounts of data. The bottleneck in survey speed is mostly related to the WIFI-link. At high survey speeds the systems will rarely be able to go beyond 16-bits, therefore the load on the data link may be reduces by choosing to collect 16-bit data, instead of 32.
