The Technology of Safari
Full Band Spectrum (FBS)
Most detectors on the market operate on a
single or dual frequency, ranging from 1 to 70
kilohertz (kHz).
Although this technology has served the
industry well for years, Minelab found that
a frequency that worked well in one area
would often oer only marginal performance
when used in another location. Ground
mineralisation, trash content and target
size all had an impact on how eectively
a detector transmitting a single frequency
would operate.
FBS technology combines Minelab’s
multiple frequency BBS (Broad Band
Spectrum) technology with a powerful new
microprocessor to give:

targets
• Lessinterferencefromelectromagnetic
sources
• Moreaccurateidenticationoftarget
characteristics
The FBS circuit automatically transmits
multiple frequencies simultaneously. This
increased frequency range means that the
signal received from the detector coil is
analysed from a wide range of responses.
This allows Safari to analyse more target
information so that the target identication
(ID) is more accurate.
Minelab’s unique FBS technology means
deep, sensitive, accurate detecting.
Discrimination (Disc.)
Discrimination is the ability of a metal
detector to identify your desired targets (e.g.
coins and jewellery) and eliminate signals
from undesirable material (e.g. nails).
Safari can be programmed in a number
of ways to discriminate against unwanted
targets in dierent types of ground.
Ground Compensation
Safari uses a sophisticated approach for
the elimination of ground mineralisation
eects. It uses advanced digital ltering to
eliminate the inuence of ground signals. This
is achieved automatically, allowing you to
concentrate on detecting targets.
