Planet Electronics Ltd manufacture a range of equipment specifically designed to locate metal objects i.e. anchors, mooring chain, cannon etc, in water up to 70 metres deep. Our flagship product is the MX500 Digital Marine Magnetometer. This uses a new generation of ultra low power electronics to create an active tow-fish with exceptional performance. A dual tow-fish version is available that can control two tow-fish simultaneously from one control box. The output from each tow-fish can be displayed independently or combined to form a gradiometer. We have also introduced a range of compact diver's handheld metal detectors, these use pulse induction technology for maximum underwater sensitivity.
Planet Marine Surveys is the surveying arm of our company and specialises in locating metal objects which are lying on or beneath the seabed. We have our own survey vessel equipped with DGPS navigation, side scan sonar and a dual MX500 Digital Magnetometer. The vessel is also equipped with our own autopilot system which is capable of steering a precise survey grid pattern under computer control. Survey lanes spaced just a few metres apart can be accurately steered over a grid several nautical miles in length.
