The MAGNEX 130 is a high sensitive magnetometer designed for underwater operation. It is used for detection of ferromagnetic targets and is suitable for the detection of explosive devices such as bombs, sea mines, ordnance and other targets like wrecks or parts of ships.

The MAGNEX 130 is very easy to handle and also simple to operate : one single rotary switch with 3 sensitivity levels. The target detection is indicated by audio alarm which varies in frequency and volume with the distance and the size of the target.

The position of the target can be evaluated according to the indications of the target generated field : when the polarity of the magnetic field inverts, the alarm changes from an continuous to an intermittent sound.
