CST/BERGER MAGNA-TRAK 200 Serie Manual De Instrucciones página 8

FUNCTION
The metal detector MAGNA-TRAK can be used to locate ferromagnetic items by evaluating
magnetic fields. Two mechanical and electronic sensors which are matched are located within the
global magnetic field in magnetic equilibrium.
This equilibrium is shown by an even, low humming sound.
If the magnetic equilibrium is influenced by the presence of ferromagnetic items, different signals
arise at both sensors, disturbing the preset equilibrium. A low humming sound indicates that no
ferromagnetic items have been located (pos. 0). The sound changes in relation to the item size and
distance continuously variably up to a high-pitched whistling sound (pos. 53 - 99).
Note: Items with no iron content are not registered.
USE UNDER SPECIAL CONDITIONS
Surroundings
Ferromagnetic items in the close vicinity of the operator can falsify measurement results.
These include, for example, shoe studs, tools brought along, watches etc.
Use in water
The device can also be used to locate ferromagnetic items under water. (Fig. 5)
Do not immerse the display housing in water! Items with no iron content are not registered.
VICINITY OF FERROMAGNETIC ITEMS
Measurements made close to iron fencing, parked cars and devices with iron content should be
taken at an even distance from these. (Fig 6)
The disturbance fields from these items can be suppressed using the "Erase" switch.
