The Minelab SD2200v2

Each Monoloop coil consists of only one coil of wire and gives a detection

pattern  similar  to  a  concentric  coil.  Each  Double  ‘D’  coil  contains  two

D-shaped coils of wire, which overlap and produce a ‘blade’ like detection

pattern (see Figure 11).
The following table summarises the characteristics of each coil:

Batteries

As well as the supplied 12Ah battery, Minelab has a smaller, light-weight

battery available. This is 4.5Ah, which gives approximately 4 -5hrs running

time per charge. The total weight of this small battery is only 968 grams.

12.3

Corporate Clothing

Minelab has available a range of functional, good quality clothing such as

caps, T-shirts, and jackets. Ask your local dealer for details.
