AQ1B Compact Underwater Metal Detector
User Manual
INTRODUCTION
The AQUAPULSE name has been established for more than two decades and
conveys the message of underwater detection excellence using the Pulse Induction
(PI) principle. Unlike some of the land based detection solutions that perform
dismally underwater the PI system provides a very powerful means of detection for
every form of ferrous or non-ferrous metallic item. The AQUAPULSE is a modular
system with a range of interchangeable detection heads that allows for a flexible
approach to detection under various underwater conditions.
NEW AQ1B-Compact
In July of 2009, the new “MINI” version of the AQ1B was introduced; this replaced
the previous AQ1B version. The AQ1B-Compact is the same detector technology as
in the past but with some improvements:
•
New smaller/lighter case
•
Circuit upgrades
•
Smaller/lighter NiMH battery pack – can be charged any time without
worrying about the “memory effect” – same or better battery operation time
•
New Off/Reject Switch – now a 6-position switch
