Section I. DESCRIPTION AND DATA
Description.
a. General Information. The Mine Detecting Set, Model shown in
figure 1-1
,
consists of a mine detector, carrying case, carrying strap, one battery pack
for use in the mine detector, and one spare battery pack. These components are
described in the following paragraphs.
b. Mine Detector. The mine detector, shown in figure 1-2, is a portable
dynamic system capable of detecting buried nonmetallic and metallic objects,
specifically, buried antitank and antipersonnel mines. It is battery powered and stored
in a carrying case when not in use. The presence of a mine is indicated audibly
through a headset. The mine detector comprises the subassemblies described in
paragraphs (1) through (4) below.
(1) Search Head Assembly. The search head assembly consists of
two
transmitting antennas, a receiving antenna and transmission lines mounted on a
laminated glass cloth plate. In addition, a transmitter and a receiver are mounted in a
housing on the search head.
A rubber bumper is mounted around the search head as a
protective device. The search head assembly generates and radiates multiple chopped
radio frequency signals and receives and detects these signals.
(2) Handle Assembly. The handle assembly consists of a short handle, a
long handle, a transmitter-receiver housing, and attaching hardware. The short handle
is
attached to the search head by means of the transmitter-receiver housing and can be
adjusted and held at the most convenient angle for use by means of a friction clutch
arrangement. The long handle, consisting of five nesting tubular aluminum sections,
fastens to the short handle by means of a bayonet coupling. It can be extended to any
intermediate length between approximately 19 inches and
57
inches
and is clamped at the adjusted position by means of the knurled collets on each
section. This handle is ordinarily used in the normal walking search operation, allowing
the operator to hold the search head about 4 feet (
away from his body.
