OFF
normal: Detection of ferrous and non-ferrous metals
Metal discrimination: non-ferrous metals but with
different visual and audio indication between ferrous
and non-ferrous metals
volume control
Detection target in Lao PDR as national standard is half
BLU 26 with fuse at 25 cm depth
Quick adjustment in the morning before starting the work
Metal discrimination modus useful for areas with a lot of
readings [ fragmentation ]
Soil compensation reduce the detection problem in
mineralized soil
LED section very useful for Team Leader to assure quality
of work
Ergonomic Operation
The operation and indication elements are integrated in the hand
grip and can easily be operated with the thumb
The LED-display with 14 elements is clearly visible even
in the sunlight. In program “normal” the length of the
Bar graph is proportional to the metal alarm
In program “metal discrimination” the deflection to the right or to
the left indicates ferrous or non-ferrous metals.
