System Assembly and Startup
The modular design of the pulseEKKO Pro GPR makes the system very flexible and readily field-
portable. There are four essential components to the radar system: the control or console unit,
the transmitter assembly, the receiver assembly and the Digital Video Logger (DVL). The
transmitter and receiver assemblies are connected to the console unit via appropriate fiber optics
cables and the console is connected to the DVL via a RS232 cable (Figure 2-1). This section
discusses the detailed steps to follow to assemble the whole pulseEKKO Pro system.

Antenna Assembly
The procedures for assembling the transmitter and receiver antennas are identical. A detailed
diagram of this assembly can be found in Figure 2-2. The assembly steps are as follows:

c) Attach the antenna mounting block to the antenna by using the flathead screwdriver
to tighten the 4 (four) quarter-turn fasteners, ensuring that the male brass antenna
pins protrude up the center holes of the mounting blocks. Quarter-turn fasteners work
by aligning the screw in the socket and the pressing downward and tightening a
