Working characteristics

The search head emits an electromagnetic pulse, which induces eddy currents in nearby metal objects. These eddy currents give rise to a secondary field, which is detected by the search head receiving coil. The detected signal is processed in the electronics unit. The presence of a metal object is indicated by a tone in the headphone and by an optional visual led signal, if fitted. The AN-19/2 detects mines at their operational depth (or deeper). Schiebel’s own testing uses a 0.15 steel pin (approximately the same signature as the Chinese type 72A anti-personnel mine) that can be detected when buried at 17 cm (or only 12 cm in light magnetic soil: for heavier magnetic soil the ATMID should be used). This is maintained in fresh/salt water (down to 2m). For large magnetic signature mines/ERW, the detector gives an over edge of target indication, enabling the same precise location as for smaller targets.
