The Fisher FML-3 Magnetic Locator is a reliable and versatile tool designed for detecting buried ferrous metal objects. It is proudly made in the USA and features an easy-to-use one-hand operation, making it convenient for field use. Its rugged construction ensures durability and performance even in harsh and demanding conditions.
With its impressive detection capabilities, the FML-3 can locate buried ferrous metal objects at depths of up to 8 feet. Whether you’re searching for water and gas valves, joints in iron pipes, pipes and cables, manhole covers (such as those used in the telecom, sewer, and power industries), survey markers, or P.K. nails, this magnetic locator provides accurate detection.
One of the standout features of the FML-3 is its waterproof sensor tube. It is pressure tested and capable of submersion to water depths up to 220 feet, making it suitable for underwater applications as well. This allows you to locate buried metal objects in various environments, including wet or submerged areas.
In addition to its utility in locating buried objects, the FML-3 has security applications as well. It can be used to detect ferrous metal objects on a person, making it useful for security personnel. It can also aid in the search for explosive devices (IEDs), unexploded ordnance (UXOs), and mines, helping to ensure safety in hazardous areas.
The FML-3 is designed to be simple to operate, with adjustable sensitivity to suit different detection needs. It provides polarity indication, which assists in finding joints in cast iron pipes, further enhancing its utility for utility workers and professionals in the field.
