AQ1B 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.

A standard AQUAPULSE 1B (AQ1B) kit consists of the following items:

1.

 

Sealed electronic unit

2.

 

Bone conductor earphone (or Land headphones) with cable and plug.

3.

 

Search Loop and shaft or Search probe with cable and plug.

4.

 

Mains Battery charger (100-250v) with AC charging lead.

5.

 

Harness and belt with quick release buckle.

6.

 

Operating instructions.

The 

Aquapulse 1B

 underwater metal detector is a precision built instrument using the

latest pulse induction techniques, and has been designed for both ease and simplicity
of use in the underwater environment, featuring good detection performance with both
ferrous and non-ferrous metals.

The unit is ruggedly built to withstand normal diving usage, but to get the best
trouble-free operation and long life, certain simple operation and maintenance
procedures must be followed.  Read the instructions carefully before diving with your
detector.
