It locates ferromagnetic objects \u003cstrong\u003eup to 3 m deep\u003c\/strong\u003e (depending on the size of the object) and shows the signal on a \u003cstrong\u003ebacklit display\u003c\/strong\u003e as a number and bar graph, with an audible tone that rises with signal strength. Non-magnetic metals such as aluminium cans or crown caps are not detected.

The sensors in the probe rod measure the earth's magnetic field continuously; a buried ferromagnetic object deflects the field lines, which the device registers as a rising signal. As you approach an object, the signal increase is shown visually and acoustically; with larger objects such as manhole covers, the maximum values occur at the object edges, and the exact position is found by swinging the magnetometer and comparing the signal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe device is ready for use a few seconds after switching on. Sensitivity can be set manually or automatically, and volume, display backlight and 180° display rotation can be adjusted via the dirt- and water-resistant membrane keypad. An erase (calibration) function suppresses a ferromagnetic background signal so that only stronger signals are indicated. In addition, the device gives an alarm signal when approaching live cables; according to the operating manual this function is intended for orientation only.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey benefits\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLocates up to 3 m deep\u003c\/strong\u003e — fast detection of covered ferromagnetic metals, depending on the size of the object.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReliable results\u003c\/strong\u003e — beverage cans (aluminium), crown caps and other non-magnetic metal objects are not detected.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdjustable sensitivity\u003c\/strong\u003e — high sensitivity, adjustable manually or automatically.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDual field strength indication\u003c\/strong\u003e — visual (number and bar graph) and acoustic, with maximum value display of the magnetic signal.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMore than 24 hours of continuous operation\u003c\/strong\u003e — on 4 x AA batteries, with battery status indicator.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBuilt for harsh conditions\u003c\/strong\u003e — robust, ergonomic ABS housing, waterproof carbon-fibre probe rod and dirt- and water-resistant membrane keys.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight construction\u003c\/strong\u003e — only 830 g including batteries for fatigue-free searching.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEasy to read\u003c\/strong\u003e — backlit display with rotation function.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTypical applications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLocating covered valve caps and valve rods in water and gas supply networks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinding hydrants and metal manhole and tank covers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLocating survey marker nails or marker magnets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSearches under soil, road surfaces, snow or water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eOperating conditions and installation\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperating temperature: -20 °C to +50 °C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower supply: 4 x 1.5 V AA (LR6) batteries;
