Protem 47

Three interchangeable transmitters - TEM47, TEM57 and TEM37 - are used with the PROTEM receiver and the appropriate receiver coil to make up different PROTEM systems for various applications such as mineral exploration, structural mapping, resistivity sounding and contaminant plume mapping.

The TEM47 is the smallest, lightest battery operated transmitter with a very fast turn-off time to enable the near surface response to be measured. The PROTEM 47 (PROTEM receiver and TEM47 transmitter) is most often used for shallow geoelectric sounding looking for conductive contaminant plumes, saline intrusion or general stratigraphy mapping. In this mode single turn transmitter loops from 5 m up to 100 m on a side with turn-off times as short as half a microsecond can be used to give maximum near surface resolution.

The maximum transmitter output of 3 A into a 100 m x 100 m loop gives a good response and resolution to depths down to 150 m making this the ideal instrument for resistivity sounding over a large area.

The TEM47 uses a reference cable to achieve the high synchronization accuracy required for shallow sounding. Regardless of application, the high frequency receiver coil is used in PROTEM 47 systems. This receiver coil has the bandwidth necessary to capture the earliest portion of the transient decay.

When the TEM47 is used in a PROTEM 47 system for profiling, it supplies 3 A to an 8-turn 5 x 5 m moving transmitter loop to provide a dipole moment of 600 ampere square metres. With base frequency of 75 Hz and 20 gates from 49 microseconds to 2.9 milliseconds this configuration is optimal for slingram (horizontal loop) surveys for mineral exploration to shallow depths, and for groundwater exploration in bedrock fractures. Electrical sounding is performed simultaneously with the search for fault or dike-like targets.
