Minelab F3 UXO Detector Field Guide

Brand: MINELAB

Operation

1. Switch On

Turn the detector on. The process involves holding the detector, then showing the coil, followed by a timer indicating 12 seconds.

Visuals show a person holding the detector, the detector coil, and a clock graphic indicating 12 seconds.

Duration: 12 seconds

Reach: 60 cm (24")

2. Ground Balance

Perform ground balancing. This involves moving the detector coil close to the ground and then holding it up, accompanied by a waveform display.

Visuals depict a person with the detector, the coil near the ground (15 cm / 6" height), and a waveform.

Height: 15 cm (6")

3. Test Piece

Test the detector using a test piece. The diagram shows a correct (green checkmark) and incorrect (red cross) method of testing.

Visuals show a person testing with the detector coil and diagrams illustrating correct (green checkmark) and incorrect (red cross) test procedures.

4. Audio Reset

Reset the audio output. This is represented by a person holding the detector and a waveform.

Visuals show a person with the detector and a waveform.

5. Noise Cancel

Engage the noise cancel feature. This involves holding the detector near potential interference sources, then placing the coil on the ground, and a timer indicating 45 seconds.

Visuals show a person near power lines, the detector coil on the ground, a clock graphic indicating 45 seconds, and a waveform.

Duration: 45 seconds

Reach: 60 cm (24")

A diagram illustrates the detector components, with numbered labels corresponding to the list above.

Guide Arm Assembly

The guide arm assembly involves the following steps:

Step 1: Connect the first part of the guide arm.
Step 2: Secure the connection.
Step 3: Continue assembling the guide arm.
Step 4: Further secure the assembly.
Step 5: Finalize the guide arm assembly, showing a close-up of a connection point.

A series of five diagrams illustrate the step-by-step process of assembling the detector's guide arm.

F3 Endcap Guide

The F3 UXO Detector features interchangeable endcaps that affect its performance:

Black Endcap: Provides High Sensitivity (this is the default endcap).
Red Endcap: Offers Reduced Sensitivity.
Yellow Endcap: Allows for Detector Settings Customisation Via PC.

Three circular icons represent the endcaps: Black (High Sensitivity), Red (Reduced Sensitivity), and Yellow (Customisable Settings).
