Description
GSSI 2600 MHz – High Resolution Antenna
The GSSI 2600 MHz antenna is an ultra-high resolution antenna used to inspect concrete structures and to locate embedded rebar, post tension cables and conduits. This antenna is compatible with the SIR-4000 and SIR-30 control units.
Smart Antenna
The Model 52600S is a 2600 MHz “smart” antenna. This antenna has a special chip in it that will work with the SIR-30 and SIR-4000 (not the SIR-3000). This chip will identify the antenna to the SIR-system control unit so that the controller will be able to automatically load up the correct default settings. The 52600S will function with a SIR-3000, SIR-20 or any of GSSI’s previous controllers, but the user will need to manually set the collection parameters on the SIR-system. Collection parameters are listed below.

Accessories
Minicart
Your Model 52600S is designed to fit into the Model 615 minicart. Using the antenna with the minicart allows you to take advantage of distance-based data collection which is possible with a survey wheel. A survey wheel (rear-axle of the cart) tracks the distance travelled and allows consistent scan spacing. The minicart is available as a separate purchase and is also compatible with the Model 5100/5100B/51600S high frequency general purpose antenna sold with the StructureScan systems.
Note: The red switch on the underside of the minicart’s handle operates as a ‘deadman’ switch. The switch must be fully depressed to activate the transmitter. If you release the red switch during data collection, the system will automatically turn off the transmitter within approximately 10 seconds unless you depress the switch again. This feature makes it legal to scan walls and ceilings within the United States and the European Community. Operation of the 52600S on a wall or ceiling without a ‘deadman’ switch enabled cart or handle constitutes illegal operation within the USA as per FCC regulations or within the European Community as per EU regulations.
