MINEX 4.611

Metal detector for minimum-metal mines, wires and conductive objects

Precise detection of metals, wires and conductive objects. MINEX 4.611 is a rugged metal detector designed for the reliable detection of very small metallic and near-surface objects. It is particularly suitable for locating so-called minimum-metal or “plastic” mines and extends the detection capabilities to wires and conductive objects, including components of IEDs.

Digital dual-frequency continuous wave technology ensures consistently high sensitivity to metals, wires and conductive materials. 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.

Nine sensitivity ranges allow precise adjustment to the respective detection task. For challenging ground conditions, a fast ground learning function and additional noise cancelling are available.

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. An integrated function test, malfunction alarm, low-battery indicator and Supervisor Mode further support reliable field operation.
