The DML2000 Magnetic Locator packs all of its sophisticated electronics in an incredibly light 0.8 Kg. package. Experienced users will appreciate the LOW battery indicator; no more wondering if the batteries are low and you're missing targets. In side-by-side comparison tests with other magnetic locators, the DML2000 outperformed all the competition. Using the DML2000 is the fastest, and easiest way to pinpoint buried survey markers, septic tanks, iron water and gas pipes, water valves, water meters and any other ferrous object buried under dirt, asphalt, water snow or ice.
The DML2000 is the best locator for finding buried iron or steel items including survey markers, PK nails, underground utilities, and manhole covers just to name a few.
There are only two controls and one switch, so it does not take long to become efficient using the locator.  Just toggle the On/Off switch, adjust the Volume control for a comfortable signal level, and set the Sensitivity control to 3 (nominal setting).  The separate Power, Volume and Sensitivity controls allow the operator to leave the Volume and Sensitivity controls in a favorite or preset position when the instrument is deactivated.  Later when operation is resumed, these control settings remain unchanged. When power is applied and there are no iron or steel objects in the immediate vicinity of the locator, you will hear a steady 20 Hz tone. As you walk the search pattern, slowly sweep the locator back and forth. The audio signal will remain constant until you begin to approach a target. The pitch (frequency) of the audio tone increases and peaks when the locator's tip is positioned directly over a target. You'll never have to be concerned about replacing batteries in the middle of a search operation. The Low-Battery LED indicator begins flashing when the remaining life of the batteries reaches 20 to 25 hours.
The DML2000 is so sensitive that an operator's watch, steel arch supports/toe protectors or a pocket knife can cause magnetic interference and must be avoided while locating targets.
