ARIES II - System Components


RAM

The Remote Acquisition Module (RAM) is a self-contained unit functioning to acquire analog seismic data from the geophones and to transmit the data digitally to the central equipment. RAM Spec Sheet

LINE TAP UNIT

The Line Tap Unit (Tap) is a self-contained unit that interconnects baseline cable from the recording truck to multiple receiver lines functioning to retransmit data from the RAMs to the central recording equipment. LTU Spec Sheet

MARINE CASE

Deploy your land equipment surveying up to 75m deep with the use of our proprietary marine case, a water-tight ‘housing’ that protects the battery and RAM unit from corrosive salt water damage. Marine Case Spec Sheet

CABLES

ARIES cables boast the highest Strength-to-Weight ratio in the industry. ARIES II is over 50Kg tensile strength per Kg weight (per 100m). That's lighter and more than twice as strong, per Kg of cable weight, as any competitor's cable on the market. Cables Spec Sheet

BATTERIES

ARAM Battery Packs provide a 24-volt DC power source with 100 to 120 hours of continuous use under normal seismic conditions with your choice of either (SLA) Sealed Lead Acid batteries or Lithium ion batteries. Batteries Spec Sheet

NETLINK

The ARAM Netlink is used between any two pieces of line equipment such as a RAM or a Tap to provide radio communication when survey obstacles are a challenge. NetLink Spec Sheet

NETWORK TESTING

The ARIES Network Test Unit (ANTU) is a self-contained battery-powered unit, providing functional test applications for the ARIES Line Equipment independent of the ARIES Central System. ANTU Spec Sheet
