PROTEM-CM
By consolidating the PROTEM receiver and TEM47 transmitter components into a single console, the PROTEM CM system offers significant improvements in portability and convenience: As compared to the individual receiver and transmitter components, the PROTEM CM is both smaller in size, and less in weight by about half. The increase in component portability will be of particular benefit for surveys in more demanding environments, both in-mine and over rugged terrain.
Available with cable reference synchronization only, for either single component or sequential three-component data collection, the system otherwise offers the same functions and performance characteristics as the standard PROTEM 47 components, and is compatible with all other Geonics transmitters.
For greater depth of exploration, a high power (HP) modification to increase the output current from the transmitter section is available as an option.
