 The
PT-1 is a sensitive, pinpointing magnetometer. It works equally
well on land, and in fresh or salt water. The PT-1 was
specifically designed to locate and track iron and steel
pipelines and armored cables, but it will also detect all
ferrous (iron/steel) targets buried under any kind of material,
including concrete, with no loss in detection range.
The pipe tracker consists of a 3 foot long probe with an
electronics box mounted on one end. In the tip of the probe is a
sensor that measures changes in the magnetic field. Iron and
steel objects create a distortion in the earth’s magnetic field,
and the pipe tracker detects these changes. The larger the
object, the greater the field change. The PT-1 displays these
changes with both audio alarm and a visual indicator.
The detector uses modified magnetometer technology to provide
good sensitivity with easy pinpointing of targets. Though it
does not have the long detection range of more powerful
magnetometers, like our Proton 4 and Diver Mag 1, the PT-1 can
pinpoint and track pipelines located near steel bridges and
metal bulkheads which could be a problem for other
magnetometers. The PT-1 not only tracks pipelines and armored
cables, but it will also locate anchors, chains, dredge heads,
weapons, explosive devices, and any other ferrous metal object
within its detection range. Three different sensitivity settings
assist the operator in determining the exact location of any
target.
The PT-1 Pipe Tracker is powered by internal rechargeable
batteries that power the system for 15 hours per charge.
Off-the-shelf alkaline batteries can also be used if needed. The
battery condition is displayed on the meter and a low battery
indicator flashes when batteries need recharging.
The PT-1 comes with all the
accessories needed to use the detector on land or dive to depths
of over 200
feet. The standard package includes the Pipe Tracker, underwater and land headphones,
and AC and DC battery chargers. A JW Fishers Search Team
hat is also included.
