The TXU30 is a compact portable model, combining substantial power output (20 kW) with great reliability, flexibility, and userfriendly operation.

Simplified MG Requirements

The new design eliminates dependence on specialized motor generators. Now, you can buy or rent a suitable MG from any convenient local
supplier, and that means:
no more service and spare parts supply headaches.
possible capital cost savings.
reduced shipping costs. (Over the life of the product, this can add up to considerable savings!)

Advanced Controls Easy to Use

Advanced microprocessor control provides superior performance across the board. Large, bright
LEDs display instrument status and critical values. Simple, straightforward controls make it easy
to adjust all operating parameters within allowable limits.

ClimateControlled Exploration!

Use the cablelinked remote control panel to operate the TXU30 from up to 30 m away. Manage
your EM transmissions in the comfort of a heated or airconditioned field truck cab! Youll also
appreciate being able to talk with the rest of the crew by mobile phone or radio without having
to fight the noise (audible and RFI) of the MG.

High S/N Ratios Precision Synchronization

In highly resistive areas in the past, users have relied on dangerously high voltages in an attempt to achieve an adequate signaltonoise ratio at
the receiver. The TXU30's builtin GPS (Global Positioning System) satellitesynchronized timing control, coupled with companion GPSsynchronized
receivers, solves this problem.

Because the entire system is synchronized, receivers can maintain proper registration while stacking even extremely weak signals. The signals can
be stacked as long as necessary until the S/N ratio is acceptable.

Wired or Wireless Data Links

The TXU30 continuously saves time series records of its output current and voltage on a removable 512 MB flash memory card. This information,
required for deconvolution calculations in Spectral IP, can be transmitted to a companion receiver system over either a wireless or an optional
cable link.

Alternatively, the data on the flash memory card can be uploaded to the postprocessing computer via a highspeed, lowcost interface.
