Description
In side-by-side comparison tests with other magnetic locators the DML2000-XR outperformed all the competition. The state-of-the-art, DML2000-XR Magnetic Locator packs all of its sophisticated electronics in an incredibly light 1.6-lb package. Experienced MAG users will appreciate the LOW battery indicator; no more wondering if the batteries are low and you’re missing targets. The separate Power, Volume, and Sensitivity controls are also an improvement over other brands.
The DML2000-XR is designed for use in the most demanding environments at temperatures ranging from -20 F to +120 F with no degradation in performance. The instrument can be used in the heaviest of rain showers, while the sensors can be submersed in water up to 3 feet deep!
Using the DML2000-XR is the fastest, and easiest way to pinpoint buried survey markers, septic tanks, iron water and gas pipes, water valves, water meters and any other ferrous object buried under dirt, asphalt, water snow or ice.

Depth Location
As with any magnetic locator, the importance of the operator’s magnetic cleanliness cannot be over-emphasized. Some of the more common sources of local magnetic interference are watches, oxygen tanks, knives, flashlights, and battery operated devices.
The depths outlined here are typical responses. However, there have been numerous instances where targets have been located at greater depths. In almost every case, the magnetic locator operator knew how to get the maximum out of his instrument. He was magnetically clean, his search area contained a minimum amount of trash metal, and he held his instrument in a vertical position while using the instrument on the maximum sensitivity setting.
