FEREX PNC

Modular magnetometer network for large-area surveys on land and underwater

Scalable surveying for large areas. The FEREX PNC is a modular magnetometer network designed for systematic large-area surveys. Depending on the configuration, up to 16 FEREX MG-10-550 probes can be networked, enabling fast and reliable surveying of large areas on land, on water and underwater.

The modular design allows the system to be flexibly adapted to different project requirements. Probe spacing and track width can be selected according to the application. With a recording rate of 300 Hz per probe, the system is designed for high survey speeds and efficient area coverage.

DATAMONITOR 4 software is used for navigation and data recording. Survey areas and tracks can be defined in advance in the office or directly in the field. During the survey, probe data is displayed in real time and recorded together with position data. The open GPS interface enables the integration of systems from various manufacturers.

By combining FEREX 4.034 control units, MG-10-550 probes and DATAMONITOR 4, the system can be configured to meet the requirements of each survey. Recorded data can subsequently be transferred to DATA2LINE software for further evaluation.
