Metal Detectors
Tracer Electronics offers a complete line of metal detectors. We have a model to meet every need and application. Typically these systems are categorized as Ferrous metal type and All metal type. If manhole lids and valve boxes are your primary targets, then Ferrous metal type is preferred. Other features that separate them are operational depth, a user interface such as displays, etc., and price.
- Ferrous Metal Detector
Ferrous metal detectors are perfect for utility applications. They only detect manhole lids, valve boxes, pins, etc. They do NOT see coins, cans, etc.
VM-880
The VM-880 from Vivax-Metrotech is the newest ferrous metal detector on the market. It offers carbon-fiber antenna housing for extreme lightweight (only 1.54lbs), LCD dot matrix display for signal strength, and field polarity meter to help identify edges of horizontal targets such as buried manhole lids and identifying vertical targets like concealed property pins. Also unique is the 60Hz proximity warning and the ability to invert the screen when locating vertical targets.
ID2100X
The ID 2100 from Magnawand provides audible and LED indication as well as field polarity. This model features patented Target Identification (TID). This model is the most sensitive and affordable in this market segment and very popular with everyday users of ferrous metal detectors. Magnawand is an OEM manufacturer.
