Description
1600 MHz – General Purpose Concrete Antenna
The 1600 MHz antenna is a high-resolution, all-purpose antenna used on bridge decks for condition assessment, to determine concrete cover and inspect concrete structures. This antenna can see deeper targets while maintaining good target resolution capability. The 1600 MHz antenna is compatible with the SIR 4000 and SIR 30 control units.
Smart Antenna
The Model 51600S is a 1600 MHz “smart” antenna. This antenna has a special chip in it that will work with the SIR-30 and future control units (not the SIR-3000 or SIR-20). 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 51600S 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.

Accessories
MINICART
Your Model 51600S 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/52600S 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 51600S 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.
