1. GENERAL
APPLICATION
The use of the Metal Detector in accordance with the regulations is the
detection of metal parts in mines or in ammunition or explosive ordnance in
the ground and in shallow water. The search head must be moved above the
ground in such a way that obstacles like grass, stones, branches or explosive
ordnances are not touched.
ATTENTION: Danger of Explosion
.
Do not use the metal detector for scanning persons.
The Metal Detector is consisting of two parts: control unit with telescopic pole
and a pluggable oval search head. As an optional accessory a large UXO
search head or a stick probe can be connected.
The oval search head is recommended for the detection of metal mines and
plastic mines with minimum metal content as well as other small metal parts.
The large UXO search head is recommended for the detection of shells,
bombs and other ammunition in larger depths.
The stick probe is recommended for detection even in hollow spaces, bushes
and trusses of hay.
The detector has been designed for the highly accurate detection of all types
of ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Ease of operation and a rigid and compact
mechanical design ensure very reliable operation for professional ordnance
clearing in battlefield operations and rigorous military training programs.
Along with its digital signal processor the metal detector uses the function
principle of an advanced pulse-field specially improved by Vallon. It can work
also in strongly mineralized soils, like laterite, magnetite, magmatite as well as
in shallow water (salt and fresh water) and under the electromagnetic
influence of main power lines without affecting the detector’s sensitivity too
much.
The metal detector ready for service, including accessories, is delivered in a
rigid carrying bag.
