1. Introduction
1.1 Since 1996, Minelab has designed, developed and
manufactured its range of detectors to meet the requirements of
mine and explosive ordnance clearance operations throughout the
world. Through its patented and unique technology, Minelab has
emphasised equipment capability and operator safety in its
products.
1.2 The F3 mine detector incorporates patented Bi-polar
technology that enhances Minelab’s renowned and highly successful
Multi-Period-Sensing (MPS) technology. Through MPS, the
sensitivity of a detector remains consistent regardless of the
mineralised content of soil. Additionally, Bi-polar technology assists
in eliminating the possibility of initiating a magnetic influence mine.
Combined with “static coupling” the F3 does not require motion to
detect a target thereby making pin-pointing techniques fast and
accurate.
