MAGNEWAVE GEOAMP XT MANUAL

Manufactured by Comtel Systems Ltd., Edmonton, AB. 780-455-1945 www.bestpigtracker.com The Magnewave Geoamp XT is a small but highly effective acoustic amplifier that is purposely designed to give optimal reception of oncoming pigs in pipelines through the noises produced by their passage. PICTURE OF SHIRT POCKET SIZED GEOAMP The Geoamp is built around a specially designed electronics circuit that features very high signal sensitivity to the frequencies that are most required to detect acoustic signals from geoprobes in position to detect travelling pigs in pipelines. It is important that it also reject interfering signals and noises from a number of objectionable sources, such as power lines, telephone lines, two way radio traffic, wind noise, traffic noise and industrial plant noise. Our Geoamp is very good at doing that, although it should be noted that no geoamp can exclude all noise if it happens to fall right in the special frequencies needed to detect pigs in pipelines. The picture to the right shows the front of the Geoamp. Turning the knob to the right powers on the Geoamp and further rotation will increase the strength of the signal received from a geoprobe connected to the con- nector on the left, marked GEO IN. An earphone can be plugged into the middle connector marked EAR OUT.

There are two LEDs on the front; one to indicate that

power is on and the other to indicate when the battery needs to be replaced. It will blink when that condition occurs. The picture at the right shows the quick change out of the batteries made possible by simply tugging at the black bezel. The 4 AAA Alkaline batteries are re- placed when the compartment is pulled back.

Super sensitive Geophone allows adjustable gain and excellent noise

reduction and filtering . Can be used with headphones or plugged into vehicle radio/amplifier input for full speaker output. Portable long life capability with 4 AAA-cell operation allows over 6 months of continuous operation. The geophone back plate can be simply pulled to allow quick change-out of batteries.
