SAFTY INFORMATION
The operating in high voltage areas would limit the results and performance
It’s better to turn off mobile while using the device.
Don’t operate two devices with same method of search at the same place
Don’t store in high temperature or high humidity
Disconnect the batteries before long time storage
The operator Must remove any metals that might affect the opreatin eg:Rings,watch, belt….

Geophysical Search System
One of the great advantages of the geophysical system in the WF 101 III is
that it works with only two scanning sensors, which allows for easy,
comfortable and fast work.
Note: Make sure that the wires are connected well, noting that when it is not
connected
well and the probes are connected to the geophysical unit when starting the
search, the developed geophysical system provides you with a smart system for
verifying the conductivity of the electrodes in the soil and the wires or not
connecting them and explaining this on the screen through warning messages.
We provide a quick set of tips to ensure the best results and avoid mistakes.
Quik Tips 1- Place the electrodes on the largest possible area:
This means that if the site to be searched is an area of 5 m², the poles must
be placed on an area exceeding 5 square meters as shown in the drawing
the soil
2 M

2.5 M 5 M

2- Ensure that the distance between the electrodes is equal: This means that if the distance is, for example, 6 meters, the distance between the first pole and the second pole must be equal to 3 m / 3 m

Important note: If the error signal persists for the non-wiring mode, this
means that
there is something wrong with the wires and it must be checked and the
connections between the connecting tweezers, the wires and the probe are well
also and if verified and this note continues, This means that the conductivity
of the soil is very weak and the sensor site needs to be moistened with water
more, and sometimes you may have to drill 10 to 15 cm at the site of the
sensor site to obtain conductivity with the soil.

To start the search, the user must press the ( ) key to run the scanning

The color of the indicator for starting the search will change from blue to
gray when turned on and when scanning is finished it will return to blue.
We wait for the search indicator to progress until the end of the reading of
the area of the site confined between the probes embedded in the ground.
Upon completion of the reading, the target type and depth will be shown on the
screen automatically.
The device scans between the two probes according to their distance from each
other, the device measures the electrical energy levels of the soil to
determine whether there are those targets that this system is looking for or
not, and the measurement process depends on the sensing process and vertical
induction to measure the levels of electrical resistance of the ground the
device can distinguish Between the identity and the electrical value of each
target.

START WORKING
Geophysical Search System
Start Search The WF101III’s geophysical search system features a precise
distinction between target types, with the target’s name and type indicated on
the system’s search interface. It is also characterized by the feature of
accurately determining the depth of the target through a special system for
determining and measuring the depth of the detected target. The value for
measuring the depth is an approximate value and may vary according to the
position of the target and the type of soil as well, but this feature enables
you to know the approximate depth on which the target is located.
Determine and locate the target:
The user must move the location of the sensors while maintaining a distance
between them of at least 2.5 meters, and when leaving the target site and
placing it outside the target area, you will notice that the device gives you
a result (there is no target), this means that the target site has been
skipped and the sensors have been placed outside the target site Here, the
sensors must be gradually returned to the first target area in order to
determine the target location accurately, and when the first result is
obtained, this means the beginning of the target site’s existence. The user
has to perform this operation from two different sides in order to be able to
determine the location of the target more accurately.
