Page 3: About This Manual
Ha d a e Overview The PinpointR system and its dual-channel antenna electronic design is based on a modern real-time sampling (RTS) technology platform, offering state-of-the-art data acquisition capabilities. The PinpontR antenna incorporates two separate GPR-channels, operating at high speed as well as an in- built GPS. -
Page 4: Antenna
Antenna The PinpointR antenna has a field-rugged design equipped with both a low and high frequency channel, making it possible to detect shallow and deep utilities. Power supply via a removeable and ImpulseRadar PinpointR User Manual V1.0... -
Page 5: Connector Panel
Battery The PinpointR antenna is powered via a removable 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. -

Figure 3 Mounting the battery Cart The PinPointR Cart has a foldable handle assembly, as shown below in Figure 4. The push-cart allows the antenna to be maneuvered easily over a range of surfaces. Figure 4 PinpointR Cart (foldable) The Cart incorporates a break on the rear-right wheel, easily engaged by your foot. -

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 PinpointR User Manual V1.0 Page 7 (32) -

Sof a e Overview The PinpointR is set-up and controlled wirelessly via the IPR App once installed on a suitable Android device. Refer to Appendix A for a list of specification requirements. Note that an adapter may be needed. Android devices that meet or exceed the minimum specification requirements will generally offer better performance in terms of data recovery and on-screen functionality. -

App as shown. The right image shows the limited functionality when there is no antenna connection. Note: the version number of the App is shown below the Impulseradar logo of the start screen and this may be requested in the event you need support services. - Page 11 Max Depth is calculated based on the Soil Velocity. Data Mode defines how many bits are used while storing the resulting radar data. PinpointR 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.

The GPS symbol will change with the solutions at hand, symbols we use to show this are given in Figure 10. Note that, for the GPS-coordinates to be saved on file, the GPS-symbol need to be shown, prior to starting the data collection. ImpulseRadar PinpointR User Manual V1.0 Page 12 (32) -
Page 13: Wheels
RTK is run separated from the system, for example; in a multi-sensor setup. Wheels The Cart wheel is the default selection for the PinPointR system. Any other use of the system will require a new wheel calibration. Data viewing and adjustment The screen and system functionality differ depending on project type. - Page 14 Before starting data collection, or after stopping a line, you have access to the settings through the menu button, which is in the upper right-hand corner of the screen, as shown in Figure 11 below.

Regardless of project type, a *.cor file (GPS coordinates) will be saved alongside the GPR data if the internal GPS can lock onto suitable satellites. ImpulseRadar PinpointR User Manual V1.0 Page 15 (32) -
Page 16: Multi-Line Project
The RL project associates and orientates GPR profiles to a straight-line reference. This can be any type of physical line that can be referred to during and after data collection. Examples include boundary, ImpulseRadar PinpointR User Manual V1.0 Page 16 (32) - Page 17 Figure 13 Multi-Line Project start screen Once the project has started, the data collection screen will appear with directional control buttons, as shown in Figure 14 below.

Page 21: Gps-Projects
As the name suggests, this project type requires GPS for positioning. However, to be of any use for accurate mapping a survey-grade RTK-GPS is required. That said, it is possible to run a GPS-project using the PinPointR an enna internal GPS, but this will lack the precision required for accurate interpretation. -
Page 22: Note On Survey Speed And Settings
Note on survey speed and settings The PinpointR system can produce very large amounts of data. The bottleneck in survey speed is mostly related to the Ethernet-link. At high survey speeds and short distance intervals, the system will rarely be able to go beyond 16-... -
