JW Fishers Proton 5 Boat Towed Magnetometer
JW Fishers Proton 5 Boat Towed Magnetometer The detection range is unaffected by the medium between the magnetometer and the metal target. Performance does not change whether detected through the air, water, silt, sand, or solid coral. Its extremely large detection area makes this magnetometer the ideal choice for both commercial operations and professional wreck hunters. With a one Nano-Tesla (nT) sensitivity, it has the maximum usable sensitivity for a towed proton precession magnetometer. A two-second cycle time gives a strong return signal and is fast enough to detect even small iron/steel targets. The PROTON 5 features a triaxial noise-canceling sensor that allows omnidirectional towing without heading error or dead zone. The system is fully digitized and displays the current 5-digit measurement on an easy-to-read 6-inch LCD screen that is backlit for night operations. Up to 80 of the previous measurements are also displayed graphically in a history plot on the LCD. With the opt
