MARINE SURVEY EQUIPMENT FOR SALVAGE, ARCHAEOLOGY & WRECK LOCATION

The Micro Pulse is a extremely compact self contained  diver's handheld metal detector which can detect both ferrous and non ferrous metals. Ideal for a diver wishing to pinpoint buried metal objects located using our MX500 magnetometer. This compact design, with its fold back coil measures just 62 cms (2 feet) long when folded and can easily be stowed away when the diver needs both hands free to dig up finds. By using the latest surface mount technology, the Micro Pulse contains all of it's electronics and batteries in the handle, so there are no external wires or headphones to contend with.  Designed for use  by both amateur and commercial divers, the Micro Pulse uses our unique  vibrating handle to indicate the presence of metal directly below the search head. Ideal for dives in  low visibility water,  it removes the need for the diver to wear cumbersome headphones or concentrate on some form of visual indication.. 

The heart of the Micro Pulse is an ultra low power microprocessor that eliminates the need for many control knobs found on most handheld pulse induction detectors, the Micro Pulse has just one control knob. This has the unique feature of combining an ON/OFF switch, a mode selection switch and a fine adjustment control in just one control knob . Simply switch on and set the  mode to either high sensitivity or low sensitivity. Once the mode is set, the microprocessor automatically adjusts the circuits offset until a slow pulsing vibration is felt in the handle. The control knob can now be used to fine adjust the vibration frequency.  Using high sensitivity will detect a whole range of  metal objects from coins to cannon etc with larger objects detected up to 2 metres (6 ft) below the search head. The low sensitivity mode is used to rejects surface clutter like ring pulls and larger metal objects buried too deep to dig out. When the detector head passes near a metal object the repetition rate of the vibration increases proportional to the size and distance to the metal object. A protective cap which fits over the control knob  is provided to eliminate any chance that the metal detector might be accidentally switched on.

The Micro Pulse is supplied as standard with an 20 cm (8 inch) diameter coil, however a 30 cm (12 inch)  coil can be purchased to give greater detection range on larger objects. Simply unplug the existing 8 inch coil and plug in the new one, the microprocessor  will automatically calibrate the new coil for optimum performance.

    Spare 30 cm (12 inch)  coil

The Nichol Hydride rechargeable batteries  give up to 10 hours use from one charge and allow top up charging if you are unsure of the state of charge of the batteries. A mains charger is supplied with the Micro Pulse.

With the coil in fold back the Micro-Pulse measures just 62 cm ( 2 feet)

Applications

Archaeology

Robust detector that can be used to map the locations of metal objects on a wreck site.

Survey & Salvage

Location and recovery of a wide range of metallic items including mooring chains, anchors, outboards, cables and pipelines.

Armed Forces/ Police

The pulsating handle used on the Micro Pulse to indicate the location of a metal object,  is ideal when searching in low visibility. The self contained compact design with no external cables etc simplifies the task of searching in low visibility situations.
