Experience has shown that if mine detectors can operate close together, the task of clearing a path through a minefield is made easier because it is simpler to assure an adequate overlap of areas cleared by adjacent mine detectors. The lightweight search head permits the operation of the equipment by a soldier in prone position. When operating in this manner, it is recommended that only the inner part of the telescopic pole is used. The quality control system used in the factory is in full conformance with ISO 9001. The quality control system has been audited and certified for compliance with the above requirements.
All electronic components are to military standard and no limited life cycle parts are used.
No preventive maintenance is required apart from cleaning and a simple function check. All main components are interchangeable without recalibration. Troubleshooting can be carried out in the field by exchanging parts between two detectors. The unit is light in weight and mutual interference between two detectors is low. The equipment is designed to withstand rough treatment and extremes of temperature and weather without calibration.
