First column, start and collection of all information

Setting the start switch (17) to ON position, the electric current with positive polarity, passes to through the current hose (12) to the electrode (A) getting inside the earth so permanent.

The negative polarity current passes through from hose (13), to electrode B1, entering the inside the earth, creating between both electrodes A and B1, a short circuit in the semicircle and the current remains only the scheduled time for recording the selected data with No. (25).

Once the timer time of the electrode B1, the negative sign current is interrupted in this and go to the next timer of the B2 electrode, here the current is introduced to the earth, creating again between the two electrodes A and B2 a short circuit in the semicircle and remaining the current only the time programmed for the record of selected data, with number (25). In this way everyone the previous processes of the current and the behavior of timed with the electrodes, they are repeated in the following installed electrodes B3, B4, B5, B6, B7, B8, B9, shape automatic and continued, collecting all the information from the subsoil, in each of the programmed electrodes and connected to the hose (13).

Once the last B9 electrode is finished, the vcc physical geo-analyzer program interrupts the current, and makes the inclined column B1, figure 5; the depth of each recorded data are in the selected place with the number (26).

Second column, start and information collection

For the realization of column B2, figure 6, electrode A is removed and the truck is moved figure 22 on electrode B1; the electric hose is disconnected and the timer (13) of electrode B1, and instead the electric hose (12) in the place that was B1.

Finished the operation of displacement and the connection, the INJECTOR (17) of the vcc physical geo-analyzer, and repeats all the previous process, proceeding to the registration of data of the electrodes B2, B3, B4, B5, B6, B7, B8, and B9, figure 6.

For the data record of the remaining profiles, electrode A is removed, and the truck moving forward Figure 22 to the next electrode B3, this electrode is disconnected from the hose (13) and instead the electrode A is connected, it is pressed the INJECTOR (17) again and the entire previous process is repeated from electrode to electrode, recording all the values and data of the remaining electrode B3, B4, B5, B6, B7, B8, and B9. thus all columns are made with the values selected with No. 25, from figures 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13, thus making the profile provided in the figure 3.
