Key Features
• HeliFlux™ Sensor Technology
Provides superior sensitivity for detecting deeply buried ferrous objects like iron pipes, tanks, and rebar—down to 18 feet depending on mass and conditions.
• Target Specificity
Detects only ferrous metals (iron, steel) and energized power lines—eliminating false positives from non-ferrous materials like copper or aluminum.
• Simple Analog Interface
Two controls (On/Off-Sensitivity and Volume) are located under the weather-sealed cover for protection. Designed for fast deployment and one-handed operation in the field.
• Audio Feedback System
Produces a 40 Hz idle tone that rises or falls in pitch based on target proximity. No screen means fewer distractions, with sound guiding users directly to the target.
• Five Sensitivity Levels
Fine-tune the unit for shallow or deep targets. Quickly adjust to locate small pins or large iron structures with efficiency.
• Field-Tested Durability
Weighing only 2.5 lbs, the GA-52Cx is lightweight, compact, and built to handle construction sites, road crews, and harsh field conditions.
