WERT-60/120 2D Electrical Resitivity Tomography System
The resistivity/IP mainframe of WERT-60/120 2D Resistivity Tomography system designed the receiver and the transmitter in one unit, which support 1D Resistivity, 1D Induced Polarization VES survey and 2D electrical tomography survey;it features multiple functions, high accuracy, fast speed, high reliability and excellent expandability. The mainframe working with multi-electrode switcher as WERT-60/120 system, can support 2D resistivity imaging survey also with max 60/120pcs electrodes. The applications of ERT system include fault investigation, ground water table investigation, soil moisture content determination and many others.

• Transmitting unit and receiving unit are of all-in-one design, portable and lightweight. |
• Super high-power, high anti-interference performance and precision: up to 6600w (1100v×6A) power, 48Vp-p voltage range ensures to get a good result in a area with high resistance. |
• Automatically achieving compensation of self-potential, drift and electrode polarization, up to ±10V. |
• Receiving unit support transient over-voltage protection, transmitting unit supports over-voltage protection, over-current protection and AB open-circuit protection. |
• For general resistivity and IP survey function, 9 types of electrode arrays are available. Electrode distance (namely “Program”) can be inputted or called. Geometric factor K can also be generated automatically or calculated manually. For multi-electrode 2D resistivity imaging, up to 18 electrode arrays are available. It could scanning measure according to fixed section (including AMNB, ABMN, AMBN, AMN, MNB, A-MN-B, Sp M, Sp MN, charge M, charge MN) or continuous rolling scanning measure according to variable section (including A-M, A-MN, AB-M, AB-MN, MN-B, A-MN rectangle). |
• Program: the program can memorize 100 groups of electrode distances, avoiding repetitive input. Or you just input a program Id and step to call the corresponding electrode distances. |
• Earth resistance inspection: ground condition can be inspected at any time. |
• Mass data storage: Up to 1GB capacity (extended) enable store 5,000,000 groups measuring data (including current, voltage, SP, Ro, Ms, metal factor, TH, R, J). |
• All parameter and data are under power-failure protection; and thus data will not be lost even thought the system shuts down accidentally. |
• USB port enables it to transfer data to computer. |
