DX-300 – DIVER HELD MAGNETOMETER

The Aquascan DX-300 Diver Held Magnetometer is a precision built instrument

using the latest Fluxgate magnetic sensors, and has been designed for both ease and

simplicity of use in the underwater environment, featuring four sensitivity settings for

use in pinpointing targets. The initial design featured LO, MED & HI settings;

however since introducing the DX-300 an X HI range has been added.

The unit is ruggedly built to withstand normal diving usage, but to get the best

trouble-free operation and long life, certain simple operation and maintenance

procedures must be followed. Read the instructions carefully before diving with your

DX-300.

Initial Testing of your DX-300

Note: It is highly recommended that you familiarize yourself with the DX-300 on

land before taking it into the water. This section explains the basic functionality of

the DX-300 and how to use the controls. It is much easier to learn to operate the

unit without the challenges of limited visibility, restrictive dive equipment, currents,

etc. So, please take the time to perform this Initial Testing of your unit before

venturing into the water with it.

Charging the batteries

The DX-300 is supplied only partially charged and will require a full 14 hours

charging duration to bring the unit to a fully charged status. Make sure the

DX-300 is in the OFF position. Plug the output lead from the charger into the

AUDIO & CHARGE socket on the control bulkhead. Please note that this can

only be inserted one way round due to the locating (polarising) pin. Screw

down the retaining collar. This should be good finger tightness only.

N.B. DO NOT ON ANY ACCOUNT PLUG THE CHARGER INTO THE PROBE

SOCKET AS DAMAGE MAY BE DONE TO THE ELECTRONICS

Ensure the charger is correctly connected to the Charge/Audio socket before

plugging the charger into the mains supply (100 – 250vAC). After running for

an hour or so the charger may get slightly warm to the touch. This is quite

normal.
