VMX10 – Large Loop Metal Detector

Large Loop Metal Detector for Detecting UXO

  • Standard configuration with 1 x 1 m, 2 x 1 m or 2 x 2 m coil sizes
  • Ergonomic electronics unit with OLED display
  • Highly efficient soil compensation
  • Works on strongly mineralized soils
  • Selection of 14 delay-steps for suppression of interfering factors
  • Interface for data-logging with optional available VALLON hard- and software
  • Optional wheeled carrier for one-man operation

The VMX10 large loop metal detector is a flexible system for locating unexploded ordnance.

The size of the VMX10 search coil can be configured based on various object and search requirements, e. g. 1 x 1 m, 2 x 1 m or 2 x 2 m. The detection properties depend on the coil configuration here.

The ergonomics of the electronics unit have been developed specifically for high comfort and long work days. The built-in multi language OLED display is also extremely user-friendly. Green LEDs insure best visibility in bright daylight conditions.

The selection of 14 delay-steps ensures a higher detection reliability through the suppression of interference e.g. by small clutter.

In addition, the user can choose between 40 operating channels to suppress environmental factors such as other detectors of the same type. As a result, the VMX10 offers optimal conditions for smooth searching. Thanks to the integrated soil compensation feature, this applies both to heavily mineralized and magnetic soils

The VMX10 allows for operation using a rechargeable battery or optional 4 D-size batteries.

Suitable for following searches ...

UXO :  Ideally suited for searching for relatively large metal parts of all kinds (such as unexploded ordnance, submunitions, etc.) down to great depths.
