Proton - Model 5 - Proton Magnetometer - Datasheet

The PROTON 5 is a fifth generation proton magnetometer from JW Fishers. It is a top performing microprocessor driven marine magnetometer detection system. With a one Nano -Tesla (nT) sensitivity, it has the maximum usable sensitivity for a towed proton precession magnetometer. A two second cycle time gives a strong return signal and is fast enough to detect even small iron/steel targets. The PROTON 5 features a triaxial noise-cancelling sensor that allows omnidirectional towing without heading error or dead zone. The system is fully digitized and displays the current 5-digit measurement on an easy to read 6 inch LCD screen that is backlit for night operations. Up to 80 of the previous measurements are also displayed graphically in a history plot on the LCD. With the optional altimeter, distance off bottom of the towfish is displayed. User friendly menus allow easy configuration of all operation settings and system tuning directly from the topside control box. An adjustable audio alarm lets the operator de-cide how much of a change in the baseline reading will cause the alarm to fire.
