16. Basic Magnetic Locating Method When the locator comes within range of an iron object, the audio signal will peak. For models with displays, a bar graph will expand positive or negative, and the digital readout (magneticintensity or milligaus) will peak as shown.

17. Basic Magnetic Locating Method Keep the locator away from your shoes since they might contain steel toes. To obtain maximum area coverage, sweep the locator from side to side.

18. Basic Magnetic Locating Method After you have detected the presence of a target, hold the locator vertically and slowly move it back and forth in an "X" pattern while listening to the audio or observing the digital readout.

19. Basic Magnetic Locating Method The value of the number or the tone will be highest when the locator is directly over the top of a vertical target, and over the ends of a horizontal target. The "X" pattern is ideal for pinpointing small objects.

24. How We Beat The Competition • The Competition is not as rugged • Schonstedt’s Patented HeliFlux Sensor - The Competition is not as sensitive • - Over smaller targets • - Over deeper targets • The Competition does not have the precision, depth range or acute reaction over the target • Schonstedt owns the municipal market for water/sewer • - approximately 75% • Best warranties. Most other brands are 1 to 5 years

25. How We Beat The Competition • Repair Service is the best; loaner program available • Repair Turn-around time is 1-2 days after receipt. • Competition is generally several weeks or a month • Schonstedt Trade-in Program. Most competitors either do not have one, or offer lower trade value than Schonstedt

26. How We Beat The Competition Metrotech 880B Subsurface ML1 CST 101 CST 102 Fisher FX3 The Usual Suspects Generic Metal detector

27. How We Beat The Competition • Main magnetic competitors will be Metrotech, Fisher, Chicago Steel Tape (CST) or Subsurface • --- CONS ---- • They use ring core sensors (low cost); not as sensitive for small or deep targets and response is not as acute over target • Tone has a tendency to whine and ramp up as you approach target • Not very rugged; require repeated repairs - often 1-2 times per year

28. How We Beat The Competition • Main magnetic competitors will be Metrotech, Fisher, Chicago Steel Tape (CST) or Subsurface • --- CONS ---- • None have the portability, ergonomics and compact size of the GA-92XTd • None have the three levels of precision of the GA-72Cd

29. How We Beat The Competition • Generic Metal detectors • --- CONS ---- • They do not discriminate between different metals - will pick up metal debris or interference like aluminum cans, brass, copper, coins, etc • False reads - lots of digging and probing • Limited to shallow detection - only about 18” deep • Not Passive - transmits an energy into the ground which is prone to more electronic failure

30. FAQs Q. Do you have a metal detector for locating water valves? A. A magnetic locator will do that job perfectly and not pick up an interference like a metal detector will, because it’s specific to just iron or steel targets. Q. What do you have to find a copper water line? A. Schonstedt offers pipe & cable locators to detect copper lines. Magnetic locators do not detect copper, brass, nickel or aluminum. Only objects made of iron or steel, and those that are isolated and non-linear.

31. FAQs Q. My curb boxes are deep, say 8 ft what do you have to go down that deep A. The GA-52Cx is best; and GA-72Cd will do as well Q. I need to distinguish my water valve covers versus the gas valve covers which are different in size but just too close to each other at times? A. The GA-72Cd has a bar graph which displays bar segments and a magnetic measurement of intensity (milligaus) that will help define your lid versus theirs. Just have to run a test first with both lids and take note of the readings, amount of bars and read-out, then apply that to the field

32. FAQs Q. Will the GA-92XTd be as good as my old GA-52Cx looking for valves? A. How deep are your valves? 0-6 ft, then YES; 6-10 ft, stick with the 52Cx. Q. Do all three models work the same and will they detect my iron/steel target? A. Yes, all three models will detect iron/steel objects with ferrous material. It’s a matter of personal preference with respect to sensitivity, length, compactness and ergonomics, or simply what you’re used to, that determines which model is best suited to the application and customer.

33. FAQs • Q. Will the magnetic locators pick up stainless steel? • No, stainless steel has no ferrous content. It contains carbon instead and therefore has no magnetic characteristics. • Q. Will a magnetic locator react to a magnetized magnet or marker? • Yes it will. Any man-made magnetized metal will have a magnetic field and the instrument will react to this for as long as the object retains its magnetic properties.
