Any metal detector or magnetometer that operates in static audio mode also known as “non motion” is compatible with our logger. The ICON DATA II unit reads hundreds detector signals every second. The signals are converted to digital data and transmitted through a wireless connection on an Android tablet or smartphone. From there the underground image is displayed by the supplied application. The ICON DATA II logger displays the detected target image immediately while the user operates the metal detector in the field. No complex controls to fumble around with, no stopping to download, and no time wasted.
ICON DATA II metal detector data logger purpose is to create images of targets in 2D & 3D viewing ability. Any metal detector or magnetometer that operates in static audio mode also known as “non motion” is compatible with the ICON DATA II metal detector data logger (A true non motion metal detector does not need movement of the coil to generate audio signal. Also, the signal will not fade out, but rather get stronger when approaching the target and will continue to sound even if the coil remains motionless over it). Watch our youtube video “compatible metal detectors for Icon Data logger” https://youtu.be/S8pxkF8tiHU to define between “motion” & “non motion” audio modes. Examples of traditional type non motion metal detectors are all Pulse Induction detectors with frame coil such as Lorenz Deepmax series, GEOSENSIS X3, Deeptech Ground Pioneer 4500, Stinger, Pulse star II Pro, Superscan, Delta Pulse and others…Also JW Fishers Pulse 6x or Pulse 8x, Aquapulse AQ1B. 2-Box style metal detectors such as Whites TM-808, Gemini III, some older / newer VLF with VCO audio style detectors like XP Deus, White’s XLT.
Now using Icon Data logger these detectors can be updated with real time 3D imaging just like a ground radar. The ICON DATA II unit reads hundreds detector signals every second. The signals are converted to digital data and transmitted through a wireless connection on an Android tablet. From there the underground image is displayed by the supplied application. An Android tablet can also be ordered preconfigured with ICON DATA II logger app. The ICON DATA II logger displays the detected target image immediately while the user operates the metal detector in the field. No complex controls to fumble around with, no stopping to download, and no time wasted.
The ICON DATA ΙΙ wireless metal detector logger is more than just a data logger, it is a real time imaging and on-site target analysis device. All other available metal detector data loggers currently on the market are either too bulky or too expensive or both. Also, they do not display the images in real time on the screen while operating your detector in the field. One has to scan the field first, and then connect the data logger to a PC to see the results.
The ICON DATA II metal detector logger is sensitive enough able to visualize anomalies like ground voids, tombs, previously dug ground and buried foundations. All these types of voids and structures interfere with the threshold sound of the metal detector and emit weak noise signals by the detector speaker that the human ear ignores.
ICON DATA II logger amplifies these signals. Then it is the user decision to select if he wishes to see the metal targets only – or the ground anomalies also (ground voids, tombs, previously dug ground, buried foundations).
The user has full control of the scan with many available options. Selectable grid size of the area in steps & sweep lines. Data collection mode can be set to automatic for flat ground surface when a constant and steady pace can be kept or set to manual for uneven surfaces and areas with trees, bushes, rocks. Graphic mode coloring, target depth calculation, graph edit, save or export the image in various formats.
After set-up the ICON DATA II app guides the user with voice commands to start, step and turn.
Can be paused or start again anytime. It even has a replay mode that repeats on screen the actual original logged scan.
