SAR-1 Search & Recovery UnderWater Metal Detector

The JW Fishers SAR-1 is a top - notch underwater metal detector crafted for military, law enforcement, and public safety naval teams. It's perfect for finding metallic objects in low - visibility underwater settings. With its'snareless' design, it has no external wires or cables, making it a great choice for areas with entanglement risks. The SAR - 1 comes with both visual and sensory target indicators. Ten ultra - bright LEDs and vibration signals let you know when you're near a metal object. As the bright yellow search coil gets closer to the target, the vibration speeds up and more high - intensity red LEDs light up. The number of lit LEDs helps you figure out the size and burial depth of the target. This detector works well in both fresh and salt water. It can detect a wide range of targets like shell casings, handguns, rifles, shotguns, knives, UXO, mines, and explosive devices with metal. It can even spot large targets like automobiles or aluminum boats up to 6 feet away. This high - performance Pulse Induction detector can detect both ferrous and non - ferrous metals while ignoring environmental minerals. It won't give false signals from salt water, coral, high - iron rocks, or other ground mineralization. The detection range stays the same whether you're detecting through air, water, silt, sand, mud, or rock. Built with corrosion - proof materials, the SAR - 1 comes with AC and DC battery chargers and a carry bag. Rechargeable batteries power it for 12 hours before an overnight recharge. You can easily replace the batteries in the field for continuous operation. And you can open the electronics compartment for inspection or battery replacement without voiding the warranty.

Using the SAR - 1 is straightforward. First, make sure the batteries are fully charged. You can use the AC or DC battery chargers provided. The batteries will last for 12 hours, and you can replace them in the field if needed. Once the detector is powered on, start moving the bright yellow search coil through the water or other detection area. As you get close to a metal object, the handle will start to vibrate, and some of the LEDs will light up. The closer you get, the more intense the vibration and the more LEDs will light up. Pay attention to the number of lit LEDs to estimate the size and depth of the target. When using it, keep in mind that it's designed to work well in both fresh and salt water, but avoid hitting it against hard objects. For maintenance, after each use, rinse the detector with fresh water to remove any salt or debris. You can open the electronics compartment for inspection or battery replacement, but make sure to close it properly to maintain its waterproofing. This won't void the warranty. Store the detector in a cool, dry place when not in use, and keep it in the carry bag provided for protection.
