JW-FISHERS ROV Metal Detector Was Designed Specially For Commercial Operators - Super Rugged, Low Maintanace And Simple To Operate!

Extreme Performance With A High Noise Immunity For Operation Inshore And Around Structures.  The Current RMD-1 Is The Ultra-Performance Pulse Induction Metal Detector Designed For Operating From A U/W ROV, Above And Below Ground ROV, And Towable Fish.

JW FISHERS Exclusive Pulse Induction Technology Enables Detection Of Both Ferrous And Non-Ferrous Metal Objects On Or Beneath The Ocean Floor While Ignoring Mineralization in The Seabed And The Negative Effects Of Ocean Water, Which Disables All Other Technology!  This Remote System Detects, Locates And Traces Underwater Pipelines, Cables, Canons, Iron Ballast, Sunken Planes, Vehicles, Ships, Boats, Anchors, Cannon Balls, Float Copper, Missing Tools, Dredge Parts, Weapons, Ordnance, Dumped Metal Barrels, Fish Cribs, Crabbing Pots And Discovers The Presence Of Lost Treasure.

The System Features A Special Dual Matched Searchcoil  Array, Permanently Molded Into A Super Rugged ABS Shell With A Corrosive-Proof Tubular PVC Frame.  The Frame Provides A Sturdy Platform Mount; Positioning The Searchcoil-Array Out In Front Of The ROV ---- This Increases Its Capability And Sensitively  --- Keeping It Away From The ROV's Own metal And Circuitry.  The Searchcoil-Array Produce A Detection Pattern, Which Extends 3 to 5 Feet Into The Sea Bottom.  The Sleek, Low-Profile Of The Searchcoil-Array, Minimizes Drag And Weight On The ROV.

When The Searchcoil-Array Picks Up A Metal Signal, It Sends a signal to the RMD-1 Electronics Unit Attached to the underwater vehicle.  The electronics unit processes the information and can produce RS232 output, 0-5 vdc output, or a proprietary signal used by the JWF topside control/readout unit. The output from the electronics unit can be transmitted through the ROV's umbilical or a separate cable. The ROV can power the electronics unit or power can be supplied by the umbilical cable.

The standard RMD-1 has a topside control box which displays the readout with both a meter and audio alarm. The closer the proximity of the metal target, the stronger the reading. The topside unit can use the underwater vehicle's umbilical cable to supply voltage to the downstairs electronics unit and to receive the output signal from the downstairs unit. The RMD-1 can be powered from 120 vac (standard) or 220 vac, or 9-36 vdc.

Key Features of the RMD-1:
The RMD-1 is easy to operate and readily attaches to most any underwater vehicle. Special coil sizes can be supplied
