Overview & Features
As a fully-fledged UW metal detector in industrial quality
the UWM 40 captivates with its good detection range and
its compact, handy design. It detects all metals. For determining
the area of application: objects, small or large, which
can be recovered with basic tools. The limit of the detection
range depends on the size and location of the metal objects
as well as on their composition and the local search conditions.
Key Features
- High detection range
- For land and underwater
- Detects all metals
- Audio object-information
- Suppression of signals from small objects
- Clear, audio signal
- Permits easy locating
- Can be used in saltwater
General
Despite its small size and search head this small and most simple to use underwater metal detector offers an impressive detection performance and an high resolution of small metal objects buried closely to each other. The UWM 40 detects ferrous and non-ferrous metal and alloys. The limits of detection range depend on the size, distance and kind of metal object to be detected. Small objects such as coins may be detected up to 25 cm distance while large objects can be located at correspondingly larger distance.
The audio signals from the UWM 40 permit differentiation
between large and small objects. This permits the diver to
determine while searching whether a signal is from a larger
object worth recovering or from unwanted scrap.
Mode of operation
The detector applies the dynamic pulse induction principle which is
advantageous for operation in saltwater. Short magnetic pulses are
transmitted through the search head. These short magnetic pulses induce
eddy current in conductive objects. The objects respond by a magnetic
signal which is detected by the device and converted into an audio
signal in its single sided head. The audio signal increases in frequency
as the detector’s search approaches the metal object. This helps the
diver to poinpoint the target object. If the object shows high
conductivity a tremolo signature will be mixed into the audio signal.
Constructional features
It consists of a square shaped search head with joint, which is flanged
to the detector handle containing the battery compartment and socket for
the headset. The detector is switched on by half-rotation of the
handle. The sensitivity can be adjusted by means of a sliding adjuster
at the search head joint. For land use, the extension tube is screwed on.

Warranty
SECON provides a limited warranty to the original
purchaser against all defects in original workmanship and material
under normal SCUBA use and service as outlined in the owner's manual
for
1 year from the date of purchase, with the following exceptions and conditions:
- This warranty does not cover rental use.
- Should
your equipment prove to be defective for any reason (other than
those listed in the limitations section below) it will be repaired or
replaced at SECON´s discretion, free of charge, excluding shipping and handling charges.
- Repairs made under this warranty will not extend the warranty period
- This warranty is non-transferable and applies to the original purchaser only.
- All correspondence concerning this warranty must be accompanied by a copy of the original sales receipt.
- Any
flood or damage, for any reason, that is caused from flooding an O-ring
sealed or water tight area will not be covered under warranty. All
O-ring sealed products undergo extensive factory pressure testing before
being shipped and delivered and are therefore guaranteed to be sealed
and functioning when shipped from the factory.
- SECON will not be liable for any loss, damages, or expenses including
incidental or consequential damages directly or indirectly arising from
the sale or use of the product.
- All paint finishing, cosmetic
discoloration of surfaces, powder coating, or material stitching that is
chipped, damaged, or unthreaded through customer use is not covered in
the warranty.
- SECON does not warranty any product for
aesthetic finishes. Issues with surface finish that do not affect
function of the product are not covered under warranty.
- This
warranty does not apply and may be rendered completely void in the event
of accidental damage, abuse, overcharging of battery, flooding due to
neglect, tampering, lack of care and maintenance, improper storage, or
unauthorized service.
- This warranty specifically excludes cords, connectors, O-rings, fuses or other conditions
resulting from misuse and negligence.
- This warranty becomes void if the product components are damaged by anything other than normal recreational diving use.
- Modifications or repair by anyone other than an authorized SECON Dealer or ADITECH Service Department will void the warranty.
- Each
product is carefully examined and checked before it is shipped. It should
therefore be visually and operationally checked as soon as it is received. If
it is damaged in anyway, a claim should be filed with the courier and ADITECH notified of the damage.
- By purchasing this product
you agree and understand that in no event will SECON, its
distributors or retailers, be held liable for any personal injuries
resulting from its operation, or any other damage whether direct,
indirect, incidental or consequential, even if SECON or ADITECH is advised of
such damages.
NOTE: If the equipment is not covered by warranty, or if it is determined that the fault is
caused by misuse, repair will be billed to the customer, and an estimate
submitted for customer approval before the commencement of repairs
