Key Features

? Unmatched Detection Accuracy

Detects only ferrous (magnetic) metals, eliminating interference from non-ferrous metals like aluminium or copper.

Accurately locates iron pipes, steel drums, and buried markers with extreme sensitivity and minimal false signals.

? Audio + Visual Output

Equipped with a large LCD panel that displays signal strength and polarity of the magnetic field.

Three distinct audio tones (based on signal strength) allow operators to locate targets with their eyes closed – perfect for high-visibility or low-light situations.

? Rugged & Waterproof Design

Built to withstand harsh field conditions, with IP54 water and dust resistance.

The aluminium and polycarbonate housing ensures long-term durability for demanding outdoor use.

? Digital Readout with Polarity Indication

Digital panel displays numerical signal strength, giving operators a precise indication of the target's proximity and orientation.

Polarity display helps users determine vertical orientation of targets, like identifying the top or bottom of a vertical pipe or drum.

? Intuitive Operation

Simple two-button control panel allows effortless switching between functions.

No complicated menus or setup required—just power on and locate.

? Extended Battery Life

Powered by two 9-volt batteries, the GA-72Cd offers up to 40 hours of continuous use, with a low battery indicator for uninterrupted fieldwork.
