Our product range consists of the following :-

Marine Magnetometers
 
Our new MX500 Digital magnetometer is a low cost proton magnetometer designed specifically for locating small targets in water up to 70 meters deep. It is ideal for  locating anchors, dredge pipes, mooring chain, cannon etc. Larger objects like steel shipwrecks can also be detected at distances up to 300 meters.  A completely new design, the MX500 Digital magnetometer was extensively sea trailed for 12 months before product release. The new design uses the latest ultra low power microprocessor to create an active tow-fish with all the magnetometer electronics built into the fish. An integral depth sensor  is fitted as standard so the height of the tow-fish above the seabed can be seen at all times. The complete magnetometer consists of a tow-fish which can be supplied with various lengths of cable up to 150 meters, a control unit which interfaces the tow-fish, GPS and Depth Sounder to a PC and the MXSurveyII display  software which runs on standard PC or laptop. The PC software is a complete survey package with data logging of the boat's position, tow-fish depth, seabed depth, and magnetic deviation.
 
Recently introduced is the MX500 Digital, Dual Sensor magnetometer, which runs two tow-fish simultaneously. The dual tow-fish  can either be towed side by side for greater detection range, or inline.

Diver's Underwater Metal Detector

To complement our magnetometer range we have developed a handheld diver's metal detector, called the Micro-Pulse.  This compact detector with its folding head, is easily carried on a dive, but is small enough to allow it to  be  stowed away when the diver needs both hands free to dig out a find.  Pulse Induction technology is at the heart of the Micro-Pulse which makes it very sensitive for locating all types of buried metal objects. 

The Micro-Pulse uses the same ultra low power microprocessor that is used in our MX500 Digital magnetometer and has  enabled us to pack all the electronics and rechargeable batteries into the handle of the detector. Further more, the design utilizes our unique vibrating handle to indicate the presence of metal directly below the search head and removes the need for cumbersome headphones or external battery packs. Ideal for commercial divers operating in low visibility, the Micro-Pulse  is a very practical solution for a handheld  underwater metal detector.

Accessories

We offer a range of accessories designed by us to solve common problems encountered when conducting a magnetic survey. Our unique design of lead cable weights provide the down force needed to force the tow-fish deeper while introducing minimum drag. We can supply our own tried and tested design of depth depressor, which when attached to the magnetometer cable just ahead of the tow-fish, creates a down force proportional to the speed of the boat.
