Geoelectric methods are used to explore groundwater resources. These methods are also applied in engineering geology and archeological investigations for the detection of caves, voids, caverns, fractured zones and metallic objects.

Cavefinder is based on a geo-electric method which can be used to find cavities in the target area. Handling of the device is very easy and the device is only designed for detecting cavities such as caves, bunkers and sepulchers.

The device has the following functionality:

 

  Automatic measurement with simple "Yes/No" evaluation Automatic measurement with simple "Yes/No" evaluation
  Graphical control output to a computer (only with version B) Graphical control output to a computer (only with version B)
 

The evaluation of the measured results take place on site. After a short time of calculation the display of the device shows if there is a cavity or not.

The following technical indications are medial values. During operation small variations are quite possible.
