Product catalog summary
Introduction
The SYSCAL Kid Switch-24 by IRIS Instruments is a subcompact resistivity meter designed for shallow resistivity imaging. It features an internal switching board for 24 electrodes, making it suitable for archaeological, geological mapping, and civil engineering applications. The system supports automatic roll-along surveys and can be operated efficiently by a single person.

Major Benefits
  • Maximum output parameters include 200 V voltage, 25 W power, and 500 mA current.
  • Automatic voltage adjustment based on measured signal levels.
  • Resistivity accuracy of 0.2%.
  • Quality control through standard deviation and number of stacks.
  • Displays measured voltage, current intensity, apparent resistivity, and self-potential.
  • Data transfer via serial link to PC.

Electrode String
The system includes heavy-duty cable strings with 12 take-outs, available in 1 or 3-meter spacings. The 3-meter version is 40 meters long and weighs 2.5 kg. Custom configurations are available upon request. Supported arrays include pole-pole, pole-dipole, dipole-dipole, and Wenner profiling.

General Specifications
  • LCD display with 4 lines of 20 characters.
  • 6 function keys on the keypad.
  • Operating temperature range from -10 to +50 °C.
  • Internal rechargeable battery with 12V, 6.5 Ah, and autonomy for 3000 readings.
  • Internal memory for 1400 stations with full readings.
  • Dimensions: 23 x 18 x 23 cm; Weight: 4.8 kg.

Transmitter Specifications
  • Automatic current setting with output voltage up to 200 V and current up to 500 mA.
  • Output power up to 25 W with optional external 12V battery input.
  • Cycle time options of 0.5, 1, or 2 seconds.
  • Resistivity computation with automatic ranging and SP compensation.
  • Digital stacking for noise reduction.
  • Input voltage protection up to 200 V, with a range from -2.5 V to +2.5 V.

Syscal Kid Switch-1

IRIS INSTRUMENTS SYSCAL Kid Switch-24 Automatic ranging Built in switch board Field proof SHALLOW RESISTIVITY IMAGING IRIS Instruments is pleased to introduce the new multi-electrode resistivity imaging option of its subcompact resistivity meter, SYSCAL Kid. Specially designed for shallow resistivity imaging, this version features an internal switching board for 24 electrodes. Two strings of cable with 12 electrode take-out each are connected on the back of the resistivity meter. The system is designed to automatically perform roll-along surveys. Lightweight, easy-to-use and field proof, the SYSCAL Kid with the Switch-24 option is ideal for archaeological, geological mapping and civil engineering applications. The surveys can be performed very efficiently with one operator only. Resistive anomaly over an ancient tomb at a Roman site (2D inversion of Wenner data) [Attirez l’attention du lecteur avec une
