Geometrics G-823 Caesium “Cs” Vapour Magnetometer

The G-823A includes the proven high-performance G-822A cesium sensor with the ultra-small sized CM-201 Larmor counter. The CM-201 counter also includes Julian time/date, a provision to accept an external sync pulse, and six A/D converters for digitising and recording signal amplitude, radar/barometric altimeter, EM or other analog data.

The system has two outputs: the standard Larmor sine wave superimposed on 28 VDC power or the Larmor signal counted, converted into nT and output as serial data for recording by any standard computer.

FEATURES & BENEFITS

Airborne and Vehicle Applications with Multi-Sensor Array Capability – Versatility is the name of the game! This instrument can be used in fixed wing, helicopter or in land applications to fit any surveyor’s needs

Highest Sensitivity – Pick up the smallest changes in magnetic field

Fast Sampling – Save money and time on large-scale surveys; detect the smallest objects

Low AC Field Interference – Survey next to power lines when necessary

Very Low Heading Error – Get very clean, repeatable measurements without fear of instrument noise impacting the data

Rugged and Reliable – Weatherproof, Survives three-foot drop onto hard surface

Ultra-stable – No need to calibrate sensors

Export Version Available – Use anywhere in the world without need for an export license (except embargoed countries). See specifications

Optional:

Logging Software: MagLog (Logs GPS and Mag, shows track plot, mag profile, other data).

Accessories: Birds, Stingers, Wingtips, Avionics, GPS, Gamma Ray, Logging Computer.

OTHER MODELS

G-823B: Enjoys all of the same specifications and performance as the G-823A, with the exception of a confirmed/tested heading error specification.

G-823AWL: The Larmor output capability is removed for installations that don’t utilise an external counter. “B”version also available in this model.

G-823AWL-SX: The SX designates that this model is our “Special Export” version which has a reduced sensitivity specification of 0.02nT/√Hzrms. This model does not require an export license prior to shipping.
