Product Family Comparison
LMX150™ FINDAR® offers non destructive, real time results in the field to pinpoint targets of interest. It provides the perfect frequency, data processing power and filters for detecting utilities and traditionally non-locatable features such as:
- Non-metallic pipes, including PVC and asbestos cement
- Underground Electrical Cable
- Concrete storm and sewer systems
- Utilities where installed tracer wiring has failed
- Underground storage tanks and drainage tiles
- Septic system components
- Non-utility structures such as vaults, foundation walls and concrete pads
The LMX150™ builds on the capabilities of the LMX100™ and adds further features to help you locate and map these utilities. It adds the powerful Grid Scan mode and the ability to use an external GPS to take full advantage of SplitView and MapView. The LMX150™ also allows data export for post-processing, archiving, reference and further mapping capabilities in EKKO_Project™. Running a higher frequency than the LMX200 reduces the depth range to 10 feet while increases the clarity of the results.
The LMX150 is designed to find all buried pipes and cables. Features include internal GPS, on-board Wi-Fi, a high resolution touch screen as well as the proprietary FrequenSee™ technology which selectively enhances small/shallow, medium size/depth, or large/deep targets, or even all at once, for easier viewing and detection.
Mini reports can be generated and delivered directly from the survey site by connecting to a Wi-Fi network or by using a cell phone as a hotspot. Data can also be exported to a USB memory stick.
Options for the LMX150 includes:
- an external GPS, for higher positional accuracy
- the Enhancement package, which enables the user to slice through the exported depth data, export data to other formats and more. The Utility Suite software option that offers features such as processing and displaying grid data in alternative ways, and the ability to output data to 3D visualization software such as Voxler®
FrequenSee™ “3 Antennas in One”
FrequenSee™ selectively enhances small/shallow, medium size/depth, or large/deep targets, or even all, for easier viewing and detection. The proprietary FrequenSee™ technology exploits the wide bandwidth of the LMX antenna, and allows the user to select the low, medium or high part of the frequency spectrum to focus on the desired features. Systems incorporating FrequenSee are typically lighter and less bulky that competing multi-antenna alternatives.
Slice Views
By recording Grid Scans, users can view not only Line Views but also Depth Slices, greatly increasing the clarity of the collected data.
GPS and Map View
The LMX150 includes internal GPS as standard, enabling the unique Map View feature that allows the user to view the path travelled by the system, together with any on-screen markers made. Users looking for higher accuracy positioning data can opt for the LMX’s external GPS, which also enables the generation of KMZ files. These files can be opened in Google™ Earth™, giving all the geographic position of where saved surveys were performed and the ability to view the screenshots that were taken.
Internal Wi-Fi and USB for data transfer
Mini projects, containing screenshots and a table with information about the collected data, can be emailed immediately to clients or colleagues using the on-board Wi-Fi, either via a nearby wireless network or the user’s smart phone in hotspot mode. Screenshot images, and data for Enhancement system users, can also be exported to a USB drive for transfer to a computer or archive system.
High resolution touch screen display
The high resolution Display Unit features touch screen operation, providing the user with the ability to draw arrows on the screen to highlight features of interest. Soil calibrations are simply done by dragging a Soil Cal Hyperbola to lie over a real hyperbola from the ground and matching the shape.
Enhancement upgrade option
The Enhancement option for the LMX150, which includes the EKKO_Project software suite aids in the storage, export, interpretation and presentation of the collected data by enabling the user to: organise data into projects for increased storage on the LMX200; slice through the exported depth data; generate PDF reports that include data images, screenshots and photos alongside text and your company logo and export data to other formats like CSV and SEG-Y.
Additional analysis software option
EKKO_Project, included within the LMX150 Enhancement option, and Utility Suite are both available for the LMX150. See “Software” for more details.
