Do Cesium Vapor Magnetometers Require Calibration
General Magnetometer Info
Gretchen Sch...
3 years ago
2 Relevance
Our cesium-vapor magnetometers do not require periodic calibration in order to maintain the accuracy as described in our published specification when the instrument is operated within specified environmental ranges. Geometrics cesium-vapor magnetometers are manufactured and tested based on the discoveries and the basic designs of Carian Associates (U.S. Patent 3,071,721). This method of total magnetic field measurement relies Upon the measurement of the optical absorption of a particular cesium spectral frequency by the cesium vapor enclosed in a small glass cell. This method is similar to those used in the measurement of atomic emission and absorption frequencies using spectroscopic reference cells. The technique thus relies on well-known fundamental quantum mechanical constants for accurate and precise measurement of the magnetic field. As a result, no adjustments to the sensor are needed in order to correct or maintain its accuracy and Geometrics sensor and sensor driver electronics are designed to either work correctly or to not work at all and to report both the strength of the magnetic field as well as the strength of the electrical signal produced by the working sensor. In this way, the signal strength measurement provides a direct indication of the operational state of the magnetometer while it is running and serves to alert the operator if the magnetometer encounters environmental conditions that are outside of its operating range. Occasional maintenance of the instrument at Geometrics facility should be performed when the instrument's internal diagnostics indicate substandard performance as described in the operator's manual. Please contact Geometrics Support for technical advice and additional information pertaining to your specific Model.

Can you mix different 4.5 Hz Geophones?
General Seismograph Info
Gretchen Sch...

An issue that can be encountered with seismic work is when older geophones that are in your kit are no longer available. It is advised to not mix and match phones especially when doing reflection. It is the customer’s responsibility to determine if using the newer 4.5 Hz geophones with older 4.5 Hz geophones will work for their situation, site requirements, etc. When purchasing new geophones from Geometrics, check the response curve for the old geophones you have vs the new ones we sell. Model Information: 4.5 Hz Response Curve_13-105-030D is for the old phones with the discontinued element. GS-ONE LF 2450 specs_Vert_147-00198_[13-105-090D] is the current phones we sell. RTC-4.5hz-395-Spec-Curve_147-00155 [13-205-004.5D] Mixing geophones is not best practice, but they can be mixed so long as you understand the effect on the data when doing so. For surface wave and refraction surveys, it is OKAY, and not a big deal. When performing seismic reflection, mixing same frequency geophones with different response curves is not recommended. Even if not doing reflection, if the results of the data will potentially be used in court of law, or research uniformity is required, then all the geophones will need to be the same. Do your own research as ultimately the decision to either mix or not mix same frequency geophones with different response curves is Up to you. Here are the 4.5 Hz geophone datasheets with response curve information: Geospace 4.5 Hz 380 Ohms Geophone datasheet (PN 13-105-030D) RT Clark 4.5 Hz 395 Ohms Geophone datasheet (PN 13-205-004.5D) Geospace 4.5 Hz GS-ONE LF 2450 Ohms Geophone datasheet (PN 13-105-090D) For more information please contact seismicsupport@geometrics.com

Finding lost MagArrow II with a new MagArrow II

Hello everyone, my name is Devan, and I would like to open a discussion about finding a lost MagArrow. To give you some background, I lost my MagArrow II while it was mounted below the DJI M400 during a flight mission in a highly dense forest. We have the drone flight log, which indicates that it was stuck in a tree within a 50 m radius of the last known location. We have searched the whole area, but due to a highly dense forest and steep terrain, it was very difficult to find the MagArrow II and the drone on foot. For more than a month, I presume it was still perched within the tree canopy. And now we have bought a new MagArrow II to continue our survey. In this case, I desperately want to find and retrieve the lost MagArrow using the new device. I have an idea that if I conduct a 5 m spacing grid in both East-West and North-South directions within a 100-meter radius of the last known location, we could eventually narrow Down our perimeter by finding an anomaly that indicates the lost device. Therefore, I have a few questions:1. How magnetic is the drone and the MagArrow II?2. Is it feasible to find the old MagArrow with the new MagArrow with the stated method? Alternatively, do you have any effective suggestions for a different approach? I appreciate any insights you can provide. Thank you!

Best Practices for Downloading data from ATOMs
Application
Wei Jiang
2 years ago
2 Relevance
This is for customers of the ATOM 1C and ATOM 3C seismographs (“ATOMs”) and is intended to provide guidance on ways to improve the Download behavior via Wi-Fi. The ATOMs should be removed from any enclosure and positioned with the metal base plate Down and relatively close to the Access Point (AP), which will increase the signal strength available to both the Atom’s and the AP. The RF environment during data Download can impact whether the ATOMs can connect and on how fast they Download data. Other RF devices in the vicinity (i.e., Bluetooth, wireless cameras, other APs, etc.), can cause slower Download time. If there is a microwave oven operating nearby, this can disrupt communication between the ATOMs and the AP. If you are having trouble getting the ATOMs to connect and Download, try setting Up the AP and laptop and then turning on the ATOMs one-by-one waiting for it to connect before turning on the next unit. Another thing that will improve Download performance is connecting the laptop directly to the AP with an Ethernet cable. This eliminates all of the RF traffic between the laptop and AP. Summary: *Choose a location with the least amount of RF traffic. *Remove all ATOMs from any enclosure and place each ATOM on its aluminum bottom base plate. This is the best position for the internal antenna. *When possible, everything should at least be on the same level, off the ground, on a desk or table. The AP can even be placed higher than the ATOMs. *Each ATOM should have at least a foot of space around it and be within 10 to 12 ft. of the Access Point. Being too close to the AP is also not ideal. *The ATOMs and AP should be in the same space or room with the AP being centrally located. *Connect the Access Point directly to the Laptop with an Ethernet cable rather than using a WiFi connection between the laptop and AP. *The Access Point can connect Up to 30 devices at once, but it is advisable to connect 24 or fewer. The time it takes to connect will vary from ATOM to ATOM. If after 1.5 minutes an ATOM is not found, restart the ATOM. If after another 1.5 minutes an ATOM is still not connected, it could be a hardware issue. Contact support@geometrics.com Download time may also vary from ATOM to ATOM. If an ATOM disconnects or takes a much longer time than other ATOMs to Download (>30 minutes) it could be a hardware issue. Contact support@geometrics.com

MagArrow Heading Error Compensation Flight FAQ
Application
Gretchen Sch...
3 years ago
2 Relevance
To perform a heading error compensation flight, fly the UAV with MagArrow attached Up to 100-150 meters in a low gradient area. Hover the drone in a single spot and rotate it slowly through 360 degrees while logging magnetic data the with MagArrow. By keeping the drone location stationary the mag field will be also be constant. Thus we are only left with the sensor reading as a function of orientation. The MagArrow has two MFAM sensors, and the way they are arranged ensures that when one sensor is in its dead zone the other is at its optimum orientation, and vice versa. The readings from the two sensors are combined to produce one magnetometer reading only. The two sensor readings are weighted such that as one sensor approaches its dead zone it is weighted much less (down to zero in the dead zone) while the optimum oriented sensor is weighted more fully. Thus you get only one magnetometer reading with no dead zones whatsoever. In addition, the weighted averaging of the sensors still does partial heading error cancelling.

Further Elaboration: You might ask this question to try and understand the low frequency response to determine if the Geode amplifiers effectively have a flat response from DC Up. Does the Geode go Down to DC for example? Answer: We apply anti-alias filters to the data to prevent out of band noise from being introduced into the data. The filters are set with a corner frequency at ¾ of the Nyquist frequency (1/2 the sampling frequency) for almost all of the sampling frequencies. When we sample at 1.5625 uS, the Nyquist frequency is 32kHz and the filters are set at 20 kHz, because of limitations of our electronics. There are two single-pole filters: one analog and one digital. The analog filter is a simple RC filter with 1uF +/-5% and 100kOhm +/- 1%. We short out the capacitor in the conversion process. The digital filter is software controlled when the option is registered, so it can be switched in or out in the field. It is an IIR Butterworth with a -3dB corner at 0.9Hz for 48ksps sampling, and 0.6Hz at all the lower sample rates. Also, we offer software and hardware options to modify the low end frequency response of the Geode. Low-end bandwidth modification: 1.5 Hz, P/N 28311-37 0.6 Hz, P/N 28147-01 DC, P/Ns 28147-02, 28311-37per system plus

Yes, SeisImager/DH can process cross-hole tomography data. SeisImager has a function to assume velocity is increasing with depth, so if we use this function, depth should be positive (SeisImager basically use a coordinate of X and elevation for Modeling purposes). It is better to use elevation values that are decreasing with depth (i.e. elevation should decrease if we go Down).

Steps to prolong the life of your OhmMapper system
Hardware
Gretchen Sch...

2 Relevance
The dipole cables are a high failure item as they are subjected to considerable wear and tear. Here are some steps that you can take to prolong the life of the system: Never lift the transmitter or receiver by the pulling on the Dipole cables. While setting Up the system, it is extremely important to remember that the transmitter and receiver can easily slip out of the white neoprene covers if you are not paying attention. This will cause them to hit the ground and break the yellow connector, or at the very least jam foreign debris into the connector. A good habit to get into is to carry the units with the nose (cone shape) pointed Down, that way they cannot slip out of the neoprene cover. Do not put undue stress by pulling on the system at angles greater than 45 degrees at any given point in the array. Always make broad turns or pick Up the array to start a new line. Make sure that the transmitter and receiver are always facing the direction of travel. (The cone pointing towards the console/operator) This will eliminate the possibility of turning the array into a "plow" and placing excessive strains on the connectors, not to mention communication problems. By following these instructions you will find that the instrument's connectors will be able to withstand the strain incurred during normal usage. Of course there may be circumstances that make this difficult, but it is good to be aware of these issues.

What is degaussing? How can I degauss metallic components for my magnetometer setup?
General Magnetometer Info
Gretchen Sch...
3 years ago
2 Relevance
Degaussing is a method by which magnetic domains in metals or magnetic inclusions in other materials are randomized so that net magnetization is minimized. One tool do accomplish this is the “Bulk Tape Eraser” designed to erase data tapes. The method works because the “Bulk Tape Eraser” generates an alternating electromagnetic field, which flips the magnetization of the magnetic domains in the material at 100 or 120 reversals per second (50 or 60 hertz). As the operator slowly removes the “Eraser” from the vicinity of the magnetized material, the magnetic domains of the material individually freeze in one orientation or the other, leaving the domains in a randomized orientation with minimal net magnetic effect. Degaussing with a Bulk Tape Eraser *The procedure is straight forward. Plug the Eraser into an extension cord or wall socket (the Eraser cord is usually short). Holding the object to be degaussed in one hand, depress the Eraser start button and move it towards the object. Once close to the object or section of material, begin moving the Eraser with a small circular motion and then increase the radius of the circle as you draw the Eraser away from the object. DO NOT STOP the Eraser closer than three feet from the object being degaussed or it will become strongly magnetized in one direction! If this happens accidentally, just redo the degaussing procedure over again starting from the beginning. *For larger objects, run the Eraser along tubing or struts in a circular motion to “bathe” the objects in an oscillating field. Be sure to cover the entire surface area of the object being degaussed. Then slowly withdraw the eraser (while still running) until it is at least 3 feet away. Then release the power switch. *The magnetometer can be used to check the sufficiency of the degaussing procedure. After degaussing, rotate the object close to an operating magnetometer to see if there is a response from the magnetometer. This is best done with a cesium magnetometer operated in gradient mode, but it can be done with a single sensor with one person watching the result and another moving the object near the sensor. Degaussing Sensor Mount Degaussing Pack Frame Degaussing GPS Antenna Limitations of Degaussing with a Bulk Eraser Depth of penetration: The Bulk Tape Eraser can only randomize materials to a certain depth. This is due to the size of the gap in the degaussing unit. A small gap makes for a very large degaussing field at the gap (about 2000 gauss, or 200 million nanoteslas), but also for a very rapid falloff away from the gap. Bulk tape erasers are optimized to penetrate through the thickness of a typical video tape. This gives a typical depth of an inch (2.5 cm). Deeper objects may need to be degaussed using stronger degaussing fields. Degaussing through a conductive chassis: An additional problem occurs when the object being degaussed is covered by a conductive surface (such as a sheet of aluminum). The degaussing field will generate huge eddy currents in the conductive surface which will generate its own opposing magnetic field. This will be evident to the operator because the opposing field will cause the degausser to buzz loudly. This doesn’t hurt anything, but be aware that the degaussing field on the other side of the conductive surface will be attenuated by some amount, so it may take a longer amount of time or multiple passes to degauss the object. The Bulk Tape Eraser is a short duty cycle device. It varies a little from manufacturer to manufacturer, but typically it is rated for 1 minute on and 5 to 10 minutes off. Most have an internal thermal cutout that will shut it off if it overheats, and if tripped may take 20 minutes or more to cool Down enough to reset. Frequently Asked Questions Why is degaussing needed? Degaussing misaligns magnetic domains so that there is no net permanent magnetization that would give an offset or heading error to magnetic field readings. Sensitive magnetometers such as those manufactured by Geometrics can be effected by nearby materials that are not sufficiently magnetically randomized. Degaussing does not alter the induced magnetic moment of any material. A piece of steel, when degaussed, is still magnetic because it draws and concentrates the earth’s field through it. However, a degaussed piece of steel is much less magnetic than a permanently magnetized piece. How much effect does it have on magnetic signatures? Depending on the distance from the sensor to the magnetic object and the amount of magnetization, the effects can be very large -10’s of nanoTeslas. Many materials including brass, aluminum, fiberglass and other non-ferrous materials may have some ferrous materials in them naturally or acquired during the manufacturing process. Other materials such as ‘non-magnetic’ stainless steel are hugely magnetic when compared to the sensitivity of our magnetometers. Degaussing can decrease the magnetic effect of these materials by a factor of 10 or more. What should I degauss? The operator should degauss any metallic object that is near the sensor. By “near”, in general we mean within 1 meter but certainly those metallic and non-metallic materials within a few centimeters of the sensor must be considered (this also includes the sensor itself, which could have minute magnetic inclusions in the sensor materials). This could also include GPS antennas, magnetometer cart assemblies (including brass fittings, bolts, clamps), buckles, eyeglasses, boots and parts of backpacks. We would also do occasional degaussing of the G-858 console and batteries. Will degaussing hurt anything? This is a tough question since it is impossible to imagine every conceivable system arrangement that could be subjected to degaussing. In all our experience we have never had any electronics device hurt by the degaussing process. This is because the induced voltages from the degausser are low, and the electronics components have a fairly high impedance at low voltages. It would be safer to degauss electronics while the power to the electronics is turned off in case the small induced voltages cause the device to operate incorrectly. It is always safe to degauss any of Geometrics’ manufactured equipment (including the sensor). On the other hand, here are some things to consider when degaussing some types of objects. Large conductive planes or rings will have large circulating currents induced in them by the degausser (but the voltages are still very small). This induced current will produce an opposing magnetic field that will fight the degaussing field – causing both the degausser and the conductive plane/loop to vibrate substantially. If the device being degaussed is sensitive to this vibration (intricate mechanical workings and the like) then this is a possible route for causing some damage. Also, sometimes objects being degaussed have embedded magnets that are necessary for the device to operate properly. A good example is a device with a permanent magnet speaker inside. Generally it is hard to degauss a magnetically hard permanent magnet, but the degausser is strong enough to at least partially do the job. A partially degaussed speaker (or other object that requires a magnet to work right) isn’t going to work the same as before – so be aware. [Things that have magnets in them shouldn’t be used near magnetometers anyway.] When to degauss and how often? We recommend that parts close to the sensor be degaussed before every major survey event. In other words on a weekly or monthly basis or before a new survey. Remnant magnetism or “Perm” can be “picked Up” (domains realigned) when the materials are static in the earth’s magnetic field for a period of time. The amount of time required to acquire a “Perm” can be from days to weeks or months depending on the magnetic “hardness” of the materials. This is also known as the materials “susceptibility”, that is, susceptibility to being magnetized. Also, magnets are everywhere, and they can easily and unknowingly ‘perm’ Up parts on or near the sensor. Magnetic screwdrivers, for example, are great for holding steel screws on the end of the driver while starting them into a threaded hole, but they are bad news near any magnetometer sensors.

Use and Care of G-857/G-858/G-859 Batteries
Hardware
Gretchen Sch...

2 Relevance
The batteries used in the portable magnetometer instruments are lead-acid gelled electrolyte batteries. The choice of this type of battery was dictated by their non-magnetic internal construction. We “magnetically compensate” these batteries to further reduce their magnetic signature. We do this with bucking coils which are mounted against the battery surfaces and then an external wrap applied. The batteries should be charged using the charger furnished with the instrument. These chargers are fully automatic and designed to do the best job of charging and maintaining the batteries for long life. All of the chargers are equipped with lights indicating when the battery is being charged and when the charging cycle is completed. The battery packs will provide the most operating cycles when they are fully charged after each use. The number of operating cycles can vary from 250 cycles to above 1000 cycles depending on how deep the discharge was and how soon the battery is charged after use. A 30% discharge per cycle may result in a lifetime of 1000 cycles or more, whereas a 100% discharge per cycle can result in only 250 cycles. As a rule the magnetometer will shut Down when the battery is discharged to about 20% of full voltage. This is to ensure proper shutdown of the instrument. It is very important to recharge the battery as soon as possible after use so the maximum life can be expected from the pack. If the discharged pack is left to charge “when we get back from the field” the pack can suffer from “sulphation”. This is a high-resistance buildup in the battery which may render the battery unusable. If a battery of this type must be stored for an extended period, it must be stored in a fully-charged condition. If such a battery is stored discharged and subject to below-freezing conditions, it is likely to freeze and be subsequently unusable. All Lead-Acid batteries must be maintained when in storage. This means that the user must recharge each pack at least once a month. Lead Acid batteries will self-discharge due to stray internal resistances, causing very small drain currents. Thus the maintenance requirement for monthly recharging is critical to long battery life. Do not leave the charger on all the time during storage. Also it is very important to use discharge the batteries on a regular basis otherwise the lifespan will be severely shortened. For more information contact our Support Department.

Choosing the Right Lithium Polymer Battery for your MagArrow
Hardware
Gretchen Sch...
3 years ago
2 Relevance
The MagArrow uses a 3 cell Lithium Polymer battery to power the MagArrow during surveys. The two main requirements for the battery are that it must fit into the battery compartment, and it must be nonmagnetic. Non-Magnetic Batteries: Some types of Lithium Polymer batteries are extremely magnetic. This is because the cell-to-cell connections are made with nickel strips (nickel is extremely magnetic). This makes them unsuitable for use in the MagArrow since they will interfere with the background magnetic field that is being measured. Whether or not the batteries are magnetic is not something that appears on the data sheet, so it is important to choose batteries of a particular construction form factor that in practice has been shown to have a very low magnetic signature. Examples of this battery type will be shown below. There are many brand names for this battery type, and the brand names seems to change frequently. Evaluating the Magnetic Properties of a Battery: Batteries should be measured for magnetic signature before using them. This is especially true when trying a new battery brand just to be sure the battery is not going to affect the survey data. To perform this test you will need to start a survey with a stationary MagArrow pointing north-south on a nonmagnetic platform (wooden sawhorses, cardboard box, etc). Hold the battery to be tested immediately over the battery compartment and rotate it in all orientations. Download the data and look for variations in the magnetic field that correlate with the battery rotation. There shouldn't be any correlation above 1 nT peak to peak. Make sure the operator is nonmagnetic when doing this test (shoes, belts, watches, cell phones, keys, etc. can all corrupt the results). Battery Size and Shape: The correct batteries are rectangular in shape and measure roughly 105x34x24mm. They are made from 3 flat cells stacked Up measuring 11.1 volts nominal. They should be between 1800 and 2200 mAh (milliamp-hour). Higher capacity batteries will not physically fit in the battery compartment. Lower capacity batteries will work, but with a reduced run time. One 1800 mAh battery will run the MagArrow for about two hours. The MagArrow power connector is XT-60 so the battery must match. There are other power connector types, but XT-60 is commonly used. The 4-pin balance port connector is a JST-XH4 connector (though this is standard on most batteries). Where to Find Batteries: If you are in an area that doesn't have strict controls on shipping Lithium Polymer batteries, then Amazon.com is a good source. Another good source is hobby stores, or anyplace that sells radio-controlled toy cars, boats, or airplanes. This is typically where this style of battery is used the most. What do the Battery Specifications Mean? 3S: This means it is a stack of three Li-Po cells Voltage: A fully charged 3 cell Li-Po battery measures 12.6 volts. A depleted battery will measure 9.6 volts. Thus, the voltage for this battery is typically labeled as 11.1 volt (the average of 12.6 and 9.6 volts. 35C (or any other "C" value): This is a rating on how much current can be safely drawn from the battery. To get the value in amps, take the milliamp-hour rating and divide by 1000 (to get amp-hours), and then multiply by the "C" value. For a 2200 mAh battery with a 35C rating multiply the 2.2 amp-hour capacity (2200 mAh / 1000) times the C value of 35, which gives a maximum discharge current of 77 amps. The MagArrow draws about 0.6 amps, so any C value is fine - even if is Down to 0.5. Battery Chargers: Most battery chargers being sold now are universal chargers which support a variety of rechargeable battery chemistries and output connectors. They come in many sizes and shapes, but most of them operate identically because the internal circuitry is the same. Most chargers will charge at a much faster rate than the MagArrow discharges them, so you technically only need two batteries in the field. A nice feature to look for is the ability to power the charger off 12V as well as with AC power. This will allow charging in the field off a car battery. Be sure to charge in batteries in "Balanced Charge" mode using the battery balance JST-XH connector. This allows more charge current into cells that are more deeply discharged than the others and ensures that the battery gets all three cells completely charged. Battery Safety: Lithium Polymer batteries are small and light but store a tremendous amount of energy inside. This is good for running equipment for long periods of time between charges, but it also means that if something goes wrong and it releases all its energy at once it can be a serious fire hazard. Never charge a lithium battery unattended, charge only in a fireproof location. Batteries that are swollen or damaged should not be used. Dispose of these per local regulations. Be sure to follow all regulations for shipping or hand carrying Li-Po batteries. This may include packaging and labeling requirements, limiting the number of batteries, and discharging the batteries to 30% capacity before shipping. Do not discharge the battery below 9.6 volts (3.2 volts per cell). This damages the battery and could result in destructive decomposition and fire. If a battery that is discharged below a safe level is placed on the battery charger it will refuse to charge it. Batteries that are discharged below 9.6V should be removed from service and disposed of according to local regulations. To Download a copy of this document as a PDF, click here.
