  • Page 10: The Malå Geodrone 600 Unit

    The MALÅ GeoDrone 600 unit The MALÅ GeoDrone 600 is a one-piece GPR unit containing the transmitter (Tx) and receiver (Rx) antennas, as well as a control unit and power. On the MALÅ GeoDrone 600 unit the following items are found: •...

  • Page 11: Safety Wire

    The MALÅ GeoDrone 600 supports PPS (Pulse Per Second) for post-survey position synchronization with an external RTK-GNSS device. Connection for external GNSS antenna is found on the side of the GeoDrone 600 unit. The connection is marked GNSS.

  • Page 12: Power

    Power The MALÅ GeoDrone 600 is powered by a single battery. This is found under the hatch on the main unit (bottom side). A fully charged battery gives a measurement time of 1+ hours (depending on settings).

  • Page 13: System Set Up

    Make sure to attach the safety wire to a secure mounting point on the drone. To prevent damage to the equipment, make sure the MALÅ GeoDrone 600 is securely attached prior to flight and do not use the GeoDrone 600 as landing gear. A complimentary payload mounting kit is available for easy attachment to common drone models.

  • Page 14: Data Acquisition

    If collecting data in one single long file, make the turns outside the investigation area, to avoid artefacts in the data used for interpretation. • Slowing and speeding up of the drone will most likely make the antenna unlevelled/tilting. The GeoDrone 600 can be mounted a bit tilting to avoid some of these effects.

  • Page 15: Flight Direction

    Set the flight direction according to the arrows for these types of investigations. Restoring missing traces During remote operation (when the GeoDrone 600 antenna is out of Wi-Fi reach of the tablet), or if the Wi-Fi is disrupted when working locally, the in-built memory card in the GeoDrone 600 unit will store the GPR data and thus enabling the measurement to continue.
