Introduction
The Magna-Lock magnetic locator is a flux-gate type of
magnetometer which incorporates a unique patented tech-
nology that enables the factory to balance the magnetic sens-
ing coils to a finite condition. This patented method of mag-
netic balancing is more advanced in the state-of-the-art tech-
nology.
The Magna-Lock implements “peak response” over
ferromagnetic objects by yielding on increasing audio signal
as the object is approached and passed over.
This instrument is distributed by Heath Consultants In-
corporated. Heath Consultants Incorporated has over 65
years experience in the utility industry.
