1. Introduction
The Minelab range of metal detectors has been developed to meet the
needs of today“s mine and explosive ordnance clearance operations.
Minelab has built its experience in the minefields of South East Asia,
where its technology has been exposed to the harshest environments,
including highly mineralised, magnetic ground.
The F1A4 Mine Detector (see Figure 1) has been specifically designed
to provide semi-automatic ”switch and go— operation. The equipment
automatically adjusts Ground Balance, Threshold (Audio) and Fine
Frequency (Noise Cancel), leaving the operator free to concentrate on
other tasks. The F1A4 detector also has the ability to be used with as
many as 10 units operating in close proximity. The detector has been
designed and built to meet de-mining requirements and incorporates
safety features such as ”Low Battery— warning, audible ”OK— signal at
the end of setting cycles and includes a standard ”Test Piece—.
The main components of the detector are manufactured within tightly
controlled parameters so that
they can be interchanged in the
field without any requirement for
calibration.
The equipment is supplied
as a Mine Detecting Set
(see Figure 2) comprising:
‘ the detector,
‘ a carry case,
‘ an ear set,
‘ a test piece,
‘ an operations manual, and
‘ field guide.
