VMH3CS – Metal Detector

Metal Detector with Exchangeable Search Coil

  • Optimized ergonomics for long-term operation in military demining and humanitarian mine clearance
  • High sensitivity combined with high-efficiency soil compensation
  • Flexible application optimization thanks to exchangeable search coils
  • Easily noticeable metal alarm indication (audio/visual/vibration)
  • Button operated pinpoint function

The VMH3CS metal detector has been developed especially for professional mine clearance as part of military and humanitarian assignments. It has been proven to be a highly reliable and mechanically rugged tool for a wide variety of tasks around the globe. This is especially true of use in highly mineralized soils.

Its mechanical design guarantees low-fatigue work, even during assignments lasting several hours. The VMH3CS can also be optimized through exchangeable search coils for various detection scenarios.

Suitable for following searches ...

Mines :  Suited for mine detection. Thanks to maximum sensitivity, also responds to mines with low metal content.
UXO* :  Suited for searching for all types of metal (e. g. grenades, submunition, etc.) near the surface.

* Partially restricted
