Q5C Manual Page 2 of 17 CERTIFICATE OF WARRANTY US Radar warrants under the following conditions that new equipment products are free of defects in material and workmanship and that only appropriate materials were used. The warranty period for hardware is two (2) years from the date of purchase, this excludes battery packs. The warranty period for battery packs is one (1) year from the date of purchase. US Radar’s obligation under this warranty is to either repair or replace parts and assembly groups which have been determined, upon inspection, to have been defective. US Radar will not accept any claims for a reduction of the purchasing price or a replacement of the purchased object. US Radar shall not be liable for subsequent damage such as downtime costs, compensation, rentals, costs for replacement equipment, lost profit, or any other damages resulting from any equipment failures during the warranty period. In the case of any warranty claims, an appropriate period of time must be granted for the performance of the necessary work and the supply of spare parts. Parts which have been replaced under warranty become the property of US Radar Inc. Repairs and work during the warranty period which were not performed by US Radar Inc. or Subsurface Imaging Systems Inc. or by personnel authorized by US Radar Inc. will lead to the loss of all warranty claims. Systems that have been opened, or otherwise tampered with will lead to the loss of warranty and will not be repaired. Damage caused by accelerated wear and tear, this includes also the continuation of operation after the detection of a defect; improper handling, maintenance, and storage; and non-observance of the operating instructions, are not covered by this warranty. The same applies to damage resulting from normal wear and tear. In the case of any warranty claims, US Radar assumes responsibility for domestic ground freight charges in one (1) direction only. It is the responsibility of the customer to transport any equipment needing repairs to an authorized repair facility. Page 3 of 17 Safety and Compliance This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference. (2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. US Radar Inc. assumes no liability for any injuries or damage caused by proper or improper operation of its equipment, regardless of any system defects. Systems that have been opened, or otherwise tampered with will lead to the loss of warranty and will not be repaired. This Ground Penetrating Radar shall only be used when in contact with the ground. Operation of this device is restricted to law enforcement, fire and rescue officials, scientific research institutes, commercial mining companies, and construction companies. Operation by any other party is a violation of 47 U.S.C. § 301 and could subject the operator to serious legal penalties. N OTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: —Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. —Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. —Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. —Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. CAUTION: Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.

A This field indicates the filename that will be assigned to this survey file if you choose to record the data. B Under Mode, if you have a choice of Single Line and Multi Line (Area), make sure that the Single Line option is selected. Note: Multi-Line is used for acquiring 3D surveys, and requires a license from US Radar. C Vertical Settings affects vertical measurements. For most applications, default values are acceptable and do not need to be changed. D Horizontal Settings affects horizontal measurements. For most applications, default values are acceptable and do not need to be changed. 3. Press OK to begin Surveying.

General Equipment & Test Configuration 2.1. EUT Specification EUT Quantum EZ, Model No. Q5C, manufactured by U.S. Radar Inc., is an ultra-wide band ground penetrating radar (GPR) intended for geophysical surveying and non-destructive testing. Supply Voltage 12V(extended: 13V-17V) DC, provided by Rechargeable Battery Operating Frequency Nominal 500MHz UWB Bandwidth 295.6MHz to 767.2MHz ( -10dB BW) Modulation Type 120ns Impulse, 0.5MHz Pulse Repetition Frequency (PRF) Peak Emissions in a 50 MHz Bandwidth <960MHz Antenna internal, non-user replaceable Dipole Antenna Hardware Version .001 Software Version .001 2.2. Description of Operation The system performs time domain reflectometry by radiating a radio frequency impulse with a repetition frequency of 1 MHz from a transmitting dipole (TX dipole). Transitions between materials exhibiting different wave impedances through which the electromagnetic wave travels cause the wave to be reflected. These reflections are received by the receiving dipole (RX dipole) and sampled by the instrument.
