Compact 4th Generation Metal Detector with Exchangeable Search Coil

Ergonomically optimized for long-term operation in the humanitarian demining and military mine clearance
Foldable metal detector with small packing dimensions
Flexible application optimization thanks to exchangeable search coils
Detection of material with low conductivity and wires
VALLON UXO mode
Button-operated pinpoint function
Integrated GNSS for automatic and manual storage of waypoints
Infrared LED display for use with night vision devices and vibration alarm
Bluetooth® and Wi-Fi interface for cable-free access to the integrated web server
Also available as VMF4L with increased battery operating time at a slightly higher weight

The foldable VMF4 metal detector has tiny packaging dimensions and offers the same excellent ergonomics as the robust VMH4 metal detector. It is ideal for both humanitarian demining and military mine clearance. This applies to all soils and shallow waters in a wide variety of conditions.

It demonstrates its outstanding capabilities in the detection of improvised explosive devices (IEDs) in particular.

This detector is also available with the larger search coil VS25 with a diameter of 25 cm.

The combination of mechanical durability, intuitive operation and maximum detection sensitivity leave the user nothing to be desired.

Another special feature of this new detector generation is that rechargeable batteries can also be charged right in the device, either with a 110 – 240 V/50 – 60 Hz AC adapter or on a 10 – 30 V vehicle onboard power supply.

The VMF4 metal detector is also available as VMF4L. It offers an increased battery operating time at a slightly higher weight by using four disposable/rechargeable batteries.

Suitable for following searches…

Mines: Suited for mine detection. Thanks to maximum sensitivity, also responds to mines with low metal content.
UXO*: Suited for searching for all types of metal (e. g. shells, grenades, submunitions, etc.) near the surface. Thanks to optionally available UXO search coils, also for searching objects at moderate depths.
IED*: Suited for searching objects with low conductivity and the components typical of improvised explosive devices (e.g. wires and cables).

* Partially restricted
