Vivax VM-880 Ferromagnetic Locator | High-Sensitivity Ferrous Metal Detection | Carbon Fiber Construction

The Vivax VM-880 Ferromagnetic Locator represents the latest evolution in metal detection technology, specifically engineered for the efficient and accurate location of buried ferrous metals. By effectively discriminating against non-magnetic interference from materials such as aluminum cans and bottle caps, this tool provides professional-grade reliability for utility locating, construction, and archaeology. Its ultra-strong carbon fiber antenna tube ensures maximum durability without compromising its exceptionally lightweight profile.

How does the VM-880 handle non-magnetic interference?

The device is engineered to specifically target ferrous metals while ignoring non-magnetic materials such as aluminum and plastic. This high sensitivity allows for accurate pinpointing in cluttered environments, supported by a field polarity indicator to identify object orientation.

What makes the VM-880 suitable for long-term field use?

The VM-880 weighs only 1.54 lbs (0.7 kg) and utilizes an ultra-strong carbon fiber antenna tube that is water-resistant. It delivers an industry-leading 28 hours of battery life from just 2 x AA (LR6) cells, supported by a continuous battery level indication on the display.

What visual and audio indicators are available for detection?

Users receive feedback via a Dot Matrix LCD and an integrated audio/visual signal strength indicator for precise location targeting. Additionally, it features a 60/50Hz power signal warning to alert operators to the presence of nearby live power lines.
