FAQ

Q
What precautions need to be taken when using the Sencion?
A

Please take notice of the following four points when using our product.

1.The electromagnetic wave will be excessively affected and suddenly be attenuated in locations of high conductivity, where the soil has a high salinity.
It may not be possible to obtain accurate measurement readings.
2.Switching the individual antennas may be necessary depending on the size of the object of monitoring.
3.Please note that when conducting leak Detections that underground water will have a continuous effect.
4.Establish Detection methods for each Detection site. For example, lay a plywood panel to scan an area where rocks prevent the cart from moving.

Q
What is the relationship between the size of antenna and the depth?
A

What is the relationship between the size of antenna and the depth?
Answer
Use the medium size antenna for inspecting deep areas.
When inspecting relatively shallow spots we recommend the small size antenna.
The small antenna features high resolution which makes small objects easy to see.

Q
What is the survey depth when using Sencion?
A

【Standard Antenna】
Type I(mid-size):2.5m
Type II(standard):1.5m
Type III(small):0.8m

Q
How does the antenna work?
A

The antenna consists of a transmitter and receiver.
Waves sent from the transmitter are bounced off of an object.
Then they are picked up by the receiver and analyzed by the receiving circuit to determine what the object is.
The Sencion series uses superior analysis circuits compared with other makers, allowing for an improved sensitivity which we are proud of.

Q
What are microwaves?
A

Generally speaking, microwaves indicate electromagnetic waves with a wavelength in the range of 0.1mm-1m.

This length is just right for detecting airplanes and boats.
Directivity is good since the wavelength is relatively short (Proceeds straight without expanding).
In the air and sea wavelengths are longer than a speck of dust, so they can go straight without scattering.

Q
What are electromagnetic waves?
A

1.Sine wave: a basic wave
2.Amplitude: shows the normal oscillating height.
3.Cycle: time from one peak to the next peak.
4.Frequency: the reciprocal of cycles, meaning 1÷cycles is called the frequency.
This amount indicates the number of sine waves entered within one second (number of oscillations).
5.Wavelength: the distance of equal transition from a peak to the next, or from one valley to the next.

Q
What can Sencion inspect?
A

Sencion is a device for inspecting and detecting any kind of material.
It has wide-ranging applications, such as for disaster relief, contraband Detection, cavity Detection, buried object Detection, reinforcement rod detection, archaeological surveys, unlawful dumping Detection, dangerous object Detection, and liquid explosive detection.

Q
How and on what principles does Sencion work?
A

It employs the exact same principles as radars used on aircraft and ships.
Emit radio wave in direction of survey→Wave hits the target object and is reflected→Returns to the antenna. Then, the position is indicated from the depth calculated from the wave turnaround time and the direction of the antenna.

Q
What is the Sencion series?
A

The Sencion series are non-destructive detection devices which use electromagnetic waves.
The devices are ultra-light and portable, allowing for easy Detection performed by one operator.
There are various products to suit your needs.
