Product catalog summary
Introduction
The ABEM Terrameter VES is a high-performance instrument designed for vertical electrical sounding (VES) surveys, offering enhanced resolution, current capacity, and connectivity compared to previous models. It is inspired by the ABEM Terrameter LS 2 and is suitable for resistivity and induced polarization (IP) measurements.

Key Features
  • 30% better resolution and 50% higher maximum current compared to the ABEM Terrameter SAS 1000.
  • Enhanced memory capacity and remote control capabilities.
  • Built-in GNSS (GPS & GLONASS) for precise location tracking.
  • Real-time sounding curve display and improved connectivity options including Wi-Fi, Ethernet, and USB.
  • User-friendly interface with ABEM Active Guidance.

Upgrades and Compatibility
The Terrameter VES can be upgraded to the VES MAX specification, and both models can be further upgraded to full imaging systems. Users can select the Terrameter LS 2 model that best fits their needs.

VES Survey Method
VES involves using four electrodes to inject current and measure voltage, allowing for deeper ground measurements as the electrodes are moved apart. The data collected is processed with inversion software to model resistivity versus depth.

Applications
VES is effective for identifying aquifers, saline intrusion, geological layering, large mineral bodies, and assessing earthing properties around electrical installations, particularly in DC sites.

Accessories
A variety of accessories are available, including VES cable sets, non-polarising electrodes, flight cases, power adapters, batteries, and the Terrameter Log borehole resistivity logging tool.

Technical Specifications
  • Output power: Up to 2500 W
  • Output voltage: Up to 600 V
  • Output current: Up to 1500 mA
  • Precision and accuracy: 0.1% and 0.2% respectively
  • Memory: 32GB
  • Display: 8.4” full colour
  • Weight: 9.2 kg without battery, 10.6 kg with battery
  • Case design: Aluminium alloy, 39x32x21 cm
  • Environmental rating: IEC IP66, operational temperature range -20 to +70°C

Conclusion
The ABEM Terrameter VES and VES MAX are advanced instruments suitable for users with serious aspirations in resistivity and IP surveys, offering significant improvements in power, sensitivity, and functionality.

EVEN BASIC METHODS DESERVE MORE THAN BASIC INSTRUMENTS Technical Specification Inspired by the ABEM Terrameter LS 2, the ABEM Terrameter VES brings new levels of performance and functionality to your VES surveys for resistivity and IP. General 30% better resolution* 50% higher maximum current* More memory* Remote control and diagnostics Built-in GNSS (GPS & GLONASS) Real-time sounding curve Better connectivity with Wi-Fi, Ethernet and USB* User-friendly interface with ABEM Active Guidance *Compared to the ABEM Terrameter SAS 1000 VES (vertical electrical sounding) is a basic method which uses four electrodes, two to inject current (C1 & C2) and two specification and both instruments to measure voltage (P1 & P2). When the electrodes are moved can be upgraded to full imaging systems - simply choose the Terrameter LS 2 model that suits your needs. apart, the electrical field extends deeper into the ground, allowing deeper measurements. Raw data are processed with inversion software to provide a model of resistivity versus depth beneath the centre of the electrode spread. Accessories A range of quality accessories are available for the VES instruments including VES cable sets, non-polarising electrodes, flight cases, power adapters and batteries, plus the plug-and-play Terrameter Log borehole resistivity logging tool. VES is an excellent, easy-to-use method for identifying aquifers, saline intrusion, geological layering, large mineral bodies, and for predicting the earthing properties of the ground around electrical installations, especially DC (direct current) sites where a deeper assessment is often required.
