Vivax Metrotech VM-585 Combination Drop Locator and Ferrous Metal Detector

The VM-585 Combination Drop Locatorand Ferrous Metal Detector the typical applications are to locate short distance runs such as drops and to detect buried ferrous metal objects such as buried valve box covers and buried tanks.

Utility Locating - With a 50/60Hz passive power locating frequency and three active frequencies of 512/640Hz, 8.19kHz, and 83KhZ, the VM-585 is will meet the requirements of those wishing to detect the presence of active power cables and to trace short ranges.

Metal Detector The advanced filtering of the VM-585rejects materials such as bottle caps and aluminum cans and zeros in on finding only ferrous materials. The manual gain control allows it to be controlled and able to work close to large metal objects such as automobiles and chain link fences while still looking for the targets underground. The VM-585will locate through asphalt, concrete, or grass and in temporary conditions such as snow. The waterproof carbon fiber tube is water proof and will be able to be used in flooded areas when needed to do so.

The 1-Watt VM-585transmitter applies a locate frequency by direct connection or induction. Optional Induction Clamps can be used to clamp around a line and induce the locate signal onto it.
