  • Integrated GPS for accurate distance measurement.
  • Locate epicentre of coating defects using analogue meter movement with the CP system pulsed ON and OFF by interrupter.
  • Obtain Digital copy of Data.
  • Manually determine Signal Strength at test posts: calculated P/RE
  • Manually determine OL/RE
  • Record a digital copy of data, both by summing using the reference probes and by using a 15 metre cable.
  • Manually determine Corrosion Status at Coating Defect Epicentre to Remote Earth using the analogue DCVG meter
  • Record a digital copy of corrosion status data using 15 metre cable using digital display and logger.
  • Limited to a satellite synchronised interrupter (50 or 125amp)
  • Maximus DCVG can manually and automatically record the corrosion status using a 15 metre cable.
  • For corrosion status within Maximus DCVG anodic is a + and cathodic is a -.
  • Full set comes with all items requires to do a survey; including carry cases
