MINEX 4.610

Metal detector for minimum-metal mines

Precise detection of the smallest metallic objects. MINEX 4.610 is a rugged metal detector designed for the reliable detection of very small metallic and near-surface objects. It has been specifically developed for locating so-called minimum-metal or “plastic” mines and combines high detection sensitivity with precise target pinpointing.

Dual-frequency continuous wave technology ensures consistently high sensitivity to different types of metal. Two integrated search coils in the Double-D search head enable precise pinpointing and support detection along large metal structures such as railway tracks, fences or vehicles. The search head can also be rotated by 90°, allowing flexible adaptation to different search and operating positions.

Five sensitivity ranges and a fast ground learning function are available for different operating conditions. During ground learning, the detector is first calibrated to the surrounding environment and then adapted to the respective ground conditions. This supports reliable operation even on non-cooperative soils.

All control and display elements are integrated directly into the handle. Tactile control buttons facilitate reliable operation even under poor visibility conditions. Detected targets are indicated by audible and visual signals as well as an additional vibration alarm in the handle. For night operations, the LED indicators can be deactivated in Military Mode.
