DCVG Surveys
G1 Belt Pack(Cat. #12710)
Price $498.75
The counter/display unit shown in the photograph is not included with the Belt Pack.

The Belt Pack is used to carry the G1 data-logger at waist level, in a hands-free fashion, and it has an integrated dual-probe adapter for use on both CIS and DCVG surveys. The dual-probe adapter is used to connect the data-probes to the G1 data-logger. The Hip Pack trail wire dispenser is used in-conjunction with the Belt Pack for CIS.

Note: If a Backpack is purchased to carry trail wire for CIS, we recommend the Belt Pack (in addition) for DCVG surveys, as the Backpack is not required for DCVG surveys.

GPS Patch Antenna

GPS Extension Antenna

Cat. # 126740
Price $150.00
The G1 data-logger comes standard with a GPS “thumb” antenna.

With regard to pipeline survey work, it is recommended that the thumb antenna be replaced with our GPS extension antenna, which allows the operator to place the antenna on top of their cap (affixed in place via a piece of Velcro). This arrangement provides the GPS antenna with an un-shielded view of the satellites, regardless of the operator’s orientation.


G1 Serial Cable

Cat. # 126730
Price $135.00

If you will be using a Trimble GPS Pathfinder Receiver (XR, XRS, Power or Pocket) as an external source of GPS data for the G1 data-collector (as opposed to using the G1’s internal GPS receiver), you will require the G1 Serial Cable, which is used to connect the serial output cable of the Trimble unit, which terminates in a 9-pin female plug, to the G1’s right-hand (Com4) terminal.

The G1 Serial Cable has a 9-pin male plug on one end (which connects to the serial output cable from the Trimble unit) and a 26-Way Mini-D plug (male) on the other end (which connects to the G1).
