VIP 4000

Product catalog summary
Overview: The VIP 4000 is a 4 kW current-regulated Time Domain Induced Polarization (IP) transmitter designed for high resistivity surveys and deep resistivity soundings. It features a high output voltage of up to 3000V and is microprocessor-controlled for ease of use and protection against misuse.
Major Benefits: The VIP 4000 is lightweight and convenient for rugged areas. It offers high productivity with eight output dipoles and can be powered by a standard single-phase motor generator, eliminating custom power source issues.
Main Features: The transmitter is fully automated with a simplified front panel, allowing easy selection of current, dipole, and frequency settings. It includes programmable functions for selecting parameters not typically changed during surveys, enhancing reliability and reducing operator errors.
Heavy Duty Design: Constructed with high-quality connectors and industrial components, the VIP 4000 is shock-resistant and weatherproof, ensuring high reliability.
Display and Error Messages: A backlit liquid crystal display shows all output parameters, and error messages are provided for troubleshooting. Parameters are stored for remote identification of issues.
Intelligent Regulation: The microprocessor ensures excellent current regulation, with selectable current steps from 50 mA to 5 amperes. It adjusts current intelligently based on contact resistance.
Remote Control: The VIP 4000 can be operated remotely via RS232 port and synchronized with receivers or systems.
Power Compatibility: It works with most motor generators providing 230V, 45-450 Hz output and can operate at half power with a 110V generator.
Technical Specifications: The VIP 4000 offers a maximum output power of 4000 W, voltage up to 3000 V, and current up to 5 amperes. It supports both time domain and frequency domain modes with preprogrammed settings. The device is protected against short circuits, open loops, and thermal issues.
General Features: The dimensions are 41 x 32 x 24 cm, and it weighs 16 kg. It operates in temperatures from -40 to +50 °C and requires a power source of 175 to 270 VAC.

VIP 4000RESISTIVITY & IP 4 kW TRANSMITTER • 3000V output voltage • Full microprocessor control • Ease-of-use • Standard motor generator The VIP 4000 is a four kilowatt current regulated Time Domain Induced Polarization transmitter. |^IP4000^AJOR^ENEFIT^^^| • Light in weight and provided with a high voltage (3000V) output, the VIP 4000 is particularly convenient for IP surveys in high resistivity rugged areas and for deep resistivity soundings. • Microprocessor controlled for ease of operation and protection against misuse. All injection parameters (current, voltages, ...) are controlled. The VIP 4000 can also be operated through its remote control port (RS232). • The VIP 4000 eight output dipoles provide for higher productivity in the field. Powered from a standard single phase motor generator, the VIP 4000 eliminates the maintenance and supply problems associated with custom power sources. HIGH OUTPUTS: • The VIP 4000 will generate up to 3000 volts for work in high resistivity areas and up to 5 amperes at 800 volts for low resistivity regions. With its weight of only 16kg, the VIP 4000 is the lightest 4000W unit on the market. FULLY AUTOMATED: • The VIP 4000 is designed for ease of operation. It has a much simplified front panel: current, dipole and frequency (in the frequency domain) settings are the only parameters to be selected by the operator. All the other functions, like voltage range setting, are fully automated. PROGRAMMABLE: • Programming functions are also available, either through the front panel, with a special key combination, or from an external computer terminal. These functions are used to select the parameters and options that are not normally changed during a survey: operating mode, time or frequency domain, cycle time, frequencies, ... • This approach reduces front panel cluttering and drastically reduces the possibility of operator mistake. Instrument reliability is also increased. For example, it is not possible to switch dipoles when transmitting. This eliminates the possibility of burning out the selector switch or the output circuitry. HEAVY DUTY DESIGN: • Very high quality connectors, and heavy duty industrial components are used throughout. The VIP 4000 is shock resistant and weatherproof, for a higher reliability.
