Introduction
Thank you for your purchase of the XL16 IMAGER PRO SERIES (USA). Before
operating the unit, please read this manual thoroughly and retain manual for future reference.
With the XL16 IMAGER, you will be able to locate anomalies, buried objects and faults.
The XL16 IMAGER works on the principle of detecting electromagnetic field changes that
are emitted from the Earth.
With the XL16 IMAGER, there is no need to transmit a signal into the earth, because of the
existing signals that are already present in the earth. The XL16 IMAGER has very sensitive
broadband receivers, enabling it to receive electromagnetic and magnetic signals. When
there is an item buried in the ground, a FERF (Free Electron Radiation Field) is created
enabling the receiving antennas in the XL16 IMAGER to identify its presence. When a hole
is dug, it creates a scar on the Earth’s surface; this scar is visible to the XL16 IMAGER.
Unlike any other detector ever built, it is looking for the difference, which enables the
operator to locate anomalies.
The software that was created exclusively for the USA systems and is designed to highlight
items in the ground, anomalies, disturbances, etc… You can see subsurface objects in
Real-
Time with the GeoSurveyor 3-D Software . Also a feature that assists in detecting a target
area is Auto Ground Balancing . Auto Ground Balancing defines the compensation for the
varying amount of minerals in the soil by sensing the mineralization and automatically
adjusting the ground balance to achieve the best performance, thus producing a more
“clearly defined target area”. One of the main items to note is to do a large enough scan
allowing you to see the background. When scanning in only one small area, determining the
difference between the target and the background can be somewhat difficult. Another note to
remember is to isolate suspected targets so that there is only one target per scan. This way
you will be able to determine the approximate size of the object. As advancements in the
software are available you may purchase upgrades, critical updates will be available free of
charge. Please contact your sales representative for more information.
It is very important to read this manual through completely. If there are problems, our
technical support staff will be able to assist you in the better understanding of the unit and its
functionality. Our technicians will assist you in proper technique of scan and operation of
the unit. Personalized training courses are also available at Accurate Locators in Oregon,
USA. We have a dedicated test facility with buried objects of both Ferrous and Non-Ferrous
metals. The training requires and entire afternoon and is by appointment only. Please contact
your sales representative for more information on obtaining premium technical support
services and personalized training for your unit. Of course, every unit comes with one (1)
hour of free telephone technical support. A free product demonstration, not to exceed two (2)
hours can be scheduled at the Accurate Locators, or Imaging Locators test sites.
