The F3 detectors are capable of detecting all metal and minimum metal mines at full sensitivity regardless of the mineralised content of soil.

Overview
The F3 incorporates all the features of Minelab's unique, proven and highly renowned Multi Period Sensing technology into Minelab's new BIPOLAR technology.
Features

Effective
Selectable sensitivity through use of innovative 'Sensitivity Endcaps' capable of detecting all metal and minimum metal mines at full sensitivity regardless of the mineralised content of soil quickly and accurately pinpointing targets.

Safe
Minimises risk of initiating magnetic influence mines and designed to prevent an operator accidentally reducing sensitivity - provision of a 'Confidence Tone' during operation and comprehensive Built-In-Test systems to monitor and confirm detector functionality.

Configurations
F3 L (L ~ Light Emitting Diodes) The F3 L is a modified F3, which includes an LED display, and volume controls located on top of the handle assembly. F3 S & F3 LS (S ~ Sensitivity Adjustment) The F3 S and F3 LS are modified F3 and F3 L detectors. The S configuration permits a user to customise the sensitivity of the detector via a laptop computer using Minelab supplied software. The advantage of the S configuration is the ability to maximise detector performance in specific ground conditions, against a specific mine threat and within areas of electromagnetic interference. The customised sensitivity is only functional when using a dedicated Yellow Endcap. F3 UXO The F3 UXO is an F3 detector (any configuration) with a 450mm coil suitable for UXO detection and battle area clearance operations.

Ease of Use
Fully adjustable for operator comfort and simple to operate with no complicated switches, dials or flashing lights to distract or confuse an operator.

Rugged
Constructed from impact resistant materials and designed to survive in any operating environment with enclosed protected cables.

Battery
Detachable battery pack with improved battery life.

Water Resistant
Water resistant to 3 metres.
