 The Magnastick MS-101 and MS-102 are flux-gate type magnetometers that seek ferromagnetic objects by sensing their magnetic fields. Patented dual toroidal sensor coils are highly sensitive to the magnetic lines of flux naturally present in ferrous (iron) materials and are not affected by non-ferrous materials such as brass, aluminum, or copper. A passive 50/60 Hz filter warns users of potential hazards associated with live power lines.
Magnastick locators employ an “always on” peak mode that provides an increasing audio signal as objects are approached and passed over. The digital display shows numerical signal strength with a diamond bar graph, battery status and “live line” proximity.
Ergonomically designed and balanced, the Magnastick receiver is made of high-impact plastic for years of trouble free use. Large and easy to grip control knobs for volume and sensitivity are located on the water resistant handle. The aluminum sensor tube is water proof and when submerged will locate ferrous objects under the water surface.
The unique Erase button makes locating ferrous objects easier and faster without the need to reduce sensitivity. Typical magnetic locators will normally peak off the scale when they are operated close to a metal fence, building or automobile. Pressing the Erase button will reset the Magnastick to a normal operating mode and the large mass will be ignored.
Each Magnastick unit comes complete with a digital receiver, user manual, and padded soft carrying case.
