The F3Ci is designed to detect all types of metal targets and carbon
rods. Additionally, under certain circumstances and using various
tones, the F3Ci can assist an operator to identify specific targets.
The F3Ci incorporates several safety features such as Low Battery
and System Fault warnings, audible confirmation at the completion
of specific operational procedures, and continuous microprocessor
controlled internal self-testing. The inclusion of a Test Piece provides
the operator with a quick and easy check to ensure the detector is
working at its operational capability.
The F3Ci provides a visual indication of detection via a Light Emitting
Diode (LED) display. If required, the F3Ci also provides vibrations to
alert the operator to a target. Sensitivity and volume settings can be
changed through seven preset selections.
Components of the F3Ci are manufactured within tightly controlled
parameters so that they can be interchanged in the field without any
requirement for calibration.
The F3Ci is designed to satisfy MIL STD 810G.
NOTE
Although the F3Ci can withstand immersion to a depth of three
metres for short periods of time, it is NOT designed for use as an
underwater detector.
