Large Loop Pulse Induction metal detector for BAC. The UPEX® 740 M is an ideal tool for the subsurface search on UXO and to survey large areas. The sup- port frame for the sensing loop can be assembled in a 1m × 1m shape or 2m × 1m. The device has become a ‘work horse’ in BAC tasks as it is easy to use and to train and providing a much larger detection range on medium or large sized munitions than standard PI detectors. UPEX® detects ferrous and non-ferrous metal objects. In adequate terrain it can inspect up to 2,5 ha/per day and machine.

 

To improve work progress even further the UPEX® is equipped with a DELAY adjuster. This feature serves to desensitize the search equipment selectively against small metal scrap and unwanted fragments from exploded ordnance.

 

Target acquisition is indicated in realtime by an audio alarm and a galvanometer or a watertight and shockproof LED bargraph.

 

For a digital survey detection data/results can be recorded by means of the EPAD® Datalogger. The detection data can be downloaded later onto a lap- top or PC for processing and visualisation by the EPAS® software. This version meets the requirements of GIS systems and greatly supports QA/QC and ISO 9000 alike QM systems.

 

UPEX® 740 M is by far simpler to use than magnetic anomaly locators and compares in most features to a standard metal detector. Detection signals are easy to interpret and no advanced training is requi- red for the operators. UPEX® can be operated by two or by one operator, depending on the accessories chosen.

 

The system is available in single loop or multiple loop configuration and can be operated as hand held unit or from a vehicle platform.

The search loop is watertight can be operated in or on shallow waters.
