Description

The Cath-Tech™ Pro CIPS/DCVG/ACVG/GIS Surveys is the ultimate survey tool, capable of performing close interval surveys (CIPS) as well as direct current voltage gradient (DCVG) surveys.

The Hexcorder Pro utilizes GPS for synchronization with current interrupters and other data logging equipment. This ensures that everything happens at the same time no matter how far apart equipment is or how long it has been out in the field. GPS coordinates are logged for each reading and stored to memory. 4 half cells and a spool of wire.

  • 10 different survey modes including Close Interval (CIPS), multiple DCVG channels, multiple impedance.
  • Work with interruption cycles as fast as 1 second.
  • User customizable alarms for change in potential, DCVG indication & broken trailing wire can be enabled to help ensure data integrity.
  • Records chainage, date, time, altitude and GPS location data with each reading.
  • Integrate with all Bluetooth enabled Radio Detection and Vivax Metrotech pipe locators to store depth of cover and signal strength data with CIPS & DCVG readings.
  • Active AC filter to remove the effect of induced AC up to 100V.
  • Run time of Hexcorder Pro is 24 hours, tablet is 11 hours under field conditions, optional extra batteries are available for the tablet.
  • Rugged, sealed, quick connect push-pull connectors.
  • Reads and stores waveforms.
  • Comments can be easily entered into the data stream.
  • User programmable GPS offset to work in local time.
  • App support multiple languages.
  • Designed to satisfy IP65 and EN61010 standards.
  • Comprehensive 2 year warranty.

Features

  • Can perform four different types of survey at the same time, CIPS, DCVG, ACVG and GIS mapping.
  • All data obtained at the same place & time under the same field conditions.
  • Easily correlate cathodic protection data with coating integrity data to better prioritize remediation.
  • Stored waveforms allow the user to capture electrical interference.
