MAGNEX® 120 LW represents a highly sensitive but robust magnetic anomaly locator for the detection of ferrous objects. It is applied to locate air delivered unexploded ordnance of substantial size buried cor- respondingly deep in the ground. The locator is in use worldwide and has become a standard tool in bomb disposal units. It operates as a differential fluxgate device measuring local changes in the mag- netic field of the earth which can be caused by the remanent magnetism of iron objects.

 

The LW version comes with a detachable probe and will suit in-water use and borehole inspection. For such tasks the probe is connected via an extension cable with integrated traction relief. MAGNEX® 120 LW can be used as single channel hand held locator, as triple probe hand held device or as multi-channel version operated from a vehicle platform.

 

The device is lightweight and robust. It can be field serviced when required. Even if used in a conventio- nal analogue operation MAGNEX® 120 LW allows to resolve even fine changes in the magnetic field which may be as small as 0,5 nT only. The locator suits also for a digital survey if the detection data is stored in an EPAD® datalogger and downloaded to a PC for later processing and visualisation by the EPAS® software.

 

The combined use of MAGNEX® 120 LW, EPAD® and EPAS® meets the latest requirement for GIS and Information Management Systems in Mine Action. It will also support an ISO like QM system and ease quality assurance and quality control as trouble spots can easily be relocated and inspected.
