DX-300 Diver Magnetometer

DX-300 Diver Magnetometer

The DX-300 Diver Magnetometer has been developed as a powerful detection tool for the diver, providing a solution for a multitude of detection requirements. One major role is to complement the towed magnetometer where solid evidence from the surface survey is met with a flat apparent debris free seabed, diver investigation with the DX300 can readily pinpoint deeply buried ferrous anomalies. The DX300 supersedes the popular and very successful DX200 version and features an even higher sensitivity and stability.
The system has a selectable sensitivity which in itself can assist in the progressive pinpointing of a target, response is indicated by an audible tone allowing the diver to determine the closest proximity to a target by the progressive increase in audible tone.

The DX-300 Diver Magnetometer has been designed to utilise the same housing as the familiar AQUAPULSE (AQ1B) range of metal detectors. The system comprises a robust DX-300 electronic module together with an RX200 (80cm (32″) length) detection probe, a slim Bonephone (or optionally Underwater Headphones) and a universal mains charger. Connections are made to the control unit with the same robust underwater Ikelite connectors as the AQ1B range.

The RX200 probe features dual high-sensitivity Fluxgate magnetic sensors spaced 600mm apart, housed in robust GRP with a pre-conditioning combiner circuit. It connects to the control unit via a 2m polyurethane cable and Ikelite connector. Four selectable sensitivity modes allow for progressive de-sensitisation during target investigation. Audio output can be silent or low-frequency, with pitch changes indicating metallic presence. The proportional audio response aids in pinpointing and tracking objects, and can also suggest object orientation.

The mains charger, Bonephone, and Headphones are identical to those used with the AQ1B family, allowing crossover use for existing AQ1B owners. An internal NiMH battery provides a minimum of 12 hours operation and can be recharged at any time without memory effect issues.


USES

  • PIPE & CABLE TRACKER

The DX-300 Diver Magnetometer can be used to locate and follow ferrous subsea pipes down to burial depths of several meters. Ideal for locating and mapping pipes and armoured cables buried in sediment. Burial depths of between 1 metre and 7 metre dependent on the diameter of the pipe or cable.

  • UXO DETECTOR

The DX-300 Diver Magnetometer has been successfully used on numerous contracts to locate unexploded ordinance. Unlimited applications in all types of underwater investigation for the presence of ordnance, weapons etc.

  • SALVAGE & ARCHAEOLOGY

The DX-300 Diver Magnetometer is an invaluable tool to locate all buried ferrous material down to burial depths of several metres. A useful tool for the successful recovery of lost items either in low visibility or were lost in soft sediment. Ideal tool to complement surface operated searches. Ideal tool for the location of buried ferrous wreck material. Unlimited applications in all types of archaeological wreck investigation, ideal diver operated tool to locate items buried deep in sediment. Allows accurate mapping of all buried ferrous material prior to seabed disturbance. Can also detect the presence of some forms of ballast material which in many cases gives a magnetic response.

  • POLICE SEARCH TEAMS

Ideal for a range of applications including locating discarded weapons and homing in on targets in very low viz such as submerged vehicles. The DX300 will pinpoint a vehicle in 10 metres depth from the surface prior to diving to confirm.
