This new design Vallon Underwater Metal Detector
VMW1 is a retractible detector for demining. It is sup-
plied with a small hard case, housing the complete
mine detecting set. Its small size and light weight fa-
cilitate underwater as well as ashore operations.
In spite of the compact design, Vallon made no con-
cessions regarding its detection performance. The
VMW1 is offering utmost detection sensitivity and de-
tection reliability.
Its state-of-the-art technology as well as its easy op-
eration ensure high equipment dependability.
Search Head with Telescopic Pole
The rugged search head contains the Digital Pulse In-
duction Sensor with integrated noise reduction fea-
tures. Its shape allows easy operation in difficult and
dense vegetation ashore as well as in shallow or deep
water and mud. This unique design allows precise
pinpointing and an excellent recognition of targets at
small distance to each other without loss of detection
speed.
The telescopic pole consists of three tubes. The length
is easily adjustable even during operation in just a
few seconds so that detection work can be done in a
standing, kneeling or swimming position.
Modern Electronics
Detected metals are clearly indicated by
- the non-magnetic headset
- LED bar graph with 14 elements
The operation elements are limited to the following.
Mode Selector:
O: OFF
N: Normal soil
M: Mineralized soil
: Volume control
3 rigid push buttons:
-Decrease sensitivity
+Increase sensitivity
Ccompensation
A built-in automatic continuous self check of six
important functions including cable damage and
battery level control is the life insurance for the
deminer. System failures are immediately indicat-
ed by a special audio and visual alarm. The auto-
matic detection level control guarantees a long-
term constant sensitivity for hours of operation,
independent of the battery level, temperature and
other environmental conditions.
Setting into Operation
The VMW1 requires only minimum operator training.
The transport case contains a field manual.
- Open the case
- Take out the detector
- Insert the batteries
- Pull out the arm rest
- Lift and pull handle
- Adjust the length of the telescopic pole
- Connect headset
- Switch ON and select operation land or water
- Start searching
Trained operators can start in less than 20 seconds.
