Overview & Features
SECON Underwater pinpointer UWPP 10 metal detector
- Pinpoint location
- Detects very small metal objects
- Easy to operate
- Lightweight, rugged design
General Overview
Essential technical features of the detector are
based on the well proven Ebinger technology
which is applied in metal detectors used in humanitarian
mine action worldwide. The underwater
pinpoint metal detector enhances the SECON
range of underwater metal detectors by an
inexpensive and easy to use device.
It detects all types of metals. The detection range
depends on the size, distance and type of metal
object to be detected. Objects of small and medium
size can be easily recovered by the diver.
The underwater pinpoint metal detector is particularly
suited for the detection and determination
of the position of metal objects buried within
the diver´s reach. Due to the pinpoint detection
objects can be recovered without stirring up the
sediment. This makes the recovery of detected
objects easy.
Due to the slim cylindrical sensor the detection
focus at the tip of the probe is concentrated to
a few square centimetres allowing a pinpointing
location of target objects despite the detector´s
high sensitivity.
Mode of operation
The UW-Pinpointer operates by a micro-controller
based pulse induction principle (PI), transmitting
short magnetic pulses into the seabed. The
primary transmission pulses cause eddy currents
in the objects generating response signals which
are picked up by the detector and analysed digitally.
A vibration of the detector handle indicates the
detection of an object obviating the need for a
cable connected earphone necessary for any audio
signals. Due to the static search mode the detected
objects show a footprint spreading over
the seabed which helps to estimate the approximate
size of the hidden object.
Constructional feature
All detector components are contained in a
tube of approx. 23 cm length. The device is switched
on and off by a rotation of the battery
compartment´s closure. The detector is powered
by a 9 V PP3 battery (IEC 6 LR61), or its rechargeable
version. The sensor is built into the slim cylindrical
end of the tube, which assists in pinpointing
even small objects in areas of constricted
space like trenches or holes.

Warranty
SECON provides a limited warranty to the original
purchaser against all defects in original workmanship and material
under normal SCUBA use and service as outlined in the owner's manual
for
1 year from the date of purchase, with the following exceptions and conditions:

- Any
flood or damage, for any reason, that is caused from flooding an O-ring
sealed or water tight area will not be covered under warranty. All
O-ring sealed products undergo extensive factory pressure testing before
being shipped and delivered and are therefore guaranteed to be sealed
and functioning when shipped from the factory.
- SECON will not be liable for any loss, damages, or expenses including
incidental or consequential damages directly or indirectly arising from
the sale or use of the product.
- All paint finishing, cosmetic
discoloration of surfaces, powder coating, or material stitching that is

the warranty.
- SECON does not warranty any product for
aesthetic finishes. Issues with surface finish that do not affect
function of the product are not covered under warranty.
- This
warranty does not apply and may be rendered completely void in the event
of accidental damage, abuse, overcharging of battery, flooding due to
neglect, tampering, lack of care and maintenance, improper storage, or
unauthorized service.
- This warranty specifically excludes cords, connectors, O-rings, fuses or other conditions
resulting from misuse and negligence.
- This warranty becomes void if the product components are damaged by anything other than normal recreational diving use.
- Modifications or repair by anyone other than an authorized SECON Dealer or ADITECH Service Department will void the warranty.
- Each
product is carefully examined and checked before it is shipped. It should
therefore be visually and operationally checked as soon as it is received. If
it is damaged in anyway, a claim should be filed with the courier and ADITECH notified of the damage.
- By purchasing this product
you agree and understand that in no event will SECON, its
distributors or retailers, be held liable for any personal injuries

NOTE: If the equipment is not covered by warranty, or if it is determined that the fault is
caused by misuse, repair will be billed to the customer, and an estimate
submitted for customer approval before the commencement of repairs
