4. DESIGN AND OPERATION OF THE PRODUCT

In the search element of the mine detector, two receiving and one generator coils are placed. The receiving coils are located in the electromagnetic field of the generator coil so that the total e. d.s. induced in them is approximately equal to zero.

To compensate for the unbalance voltage of the receiving coils due to changes in temperature and nature environment serves as a phase-amplitude compensator.

A change in the connection between the transmitter and receiver coils of the search element when metal objects are introduced into the field of the transmitter coil causes an unbalance signal, which is amplified by the amplifier and heard in telephones.

5. DEVICE OF COMPONENT PARTS OF THE PRODUCT

5.1. search element

The search element is a frame, in the grooves of which the generator and two receiving coils are installed. At one end of the frame there is a generator loop capacitor.

ATTENTION! Protect the search element from shock.

Search element frame fig. 2 is placed in casing 6, which protects it from mechanical damage. The casing consists of two parts glued in the middle and is closed with a union nut 3. A seal is installed under the union nut between the casing and the frame.

The threaded part of the union nut is coated with moisture-resistant grease.

The connection of the search element with the amplifying unit is carried out by cable 2 with the insertion of the ShR connector.

The search element is connected to the holder 4 by means of a clamp 5 enclosing the casing.

To eliminate the influence of the rod metal on the search element, the holder is made of textolite.

1. DEPLOYING THE MINE DETECTOR TO WORK IN THE "STANDING" POSITION

To assemble the mine detector, you must do the following:

Open the lid of the packing case;

Remove from the packing case: phone, canvas bag, search element with a holder, amplifying unit, three rod elbows;

Close the lid of the stacking case;

Assemble the rod knees, screw them to the search element holder;

Loosen the swivel of the search element clamp with the holder, for which turn the nut counterclockwise;

Set the required angle of inclination of the rod relative to the search element and tighten the nut to the full;

Insert the cable into the grooves of the clamps on the rod;

Install current sources;

Put the amplifying unit in a canvas bag;

Put a canvas bag on your right shoulder, while the connecting cable should be behind your back, adjust the length of the belt, connect the cable to the amplifying unit;

Put on phones and connect them with a plug to an amplifying unit;

Set the toggle switch to the "ON" position;

Set up the mine detector and check its performance with the equivalent of the setting.

2. DEPLOYING THE MINE DETECTOR TO WORK IN THE "LYING" POSITION

The procedure for assembling a mine detector for working in the "lying" position is the same as for assembling a mine detector for working in the "standing" position.

Assembly features:

the search element and the holder are fixed parallel to each other, the canvas bag is fixed on the waist belt; a rod elbow with a plug is attached to the holder.

Set the toggle switch to the "OFF" position;

Disconnect the cable connector insert and telephone plug from the amplifying unit;

Remove phones;

Wrap the cap on the connector block;

Disconnect the cable from the rod;

Disassemble the bar;

Loosen the nut and turn the holder to its original position parallel to the search element; remove the amplifying unit from the canvas bag; - extract current sources;

Clean the elements of the mine detector from dust, dirt and moisture and put it in a packing case; - close the cover of the stacking case.

Rice. Fig. 7. General view of the IMP device for working in the "lying" position

ATTENTION! Turning the holder without first loosening the nut leads to breakage of the parts connecting the search element with the holder.

4. INSTALLATION OF POWER SOURCES

Install current sources in the following sequence:

Open the bottom cover of the amplifying unit;

Install the current sources in the compartment according to the diagram indicated on the bottom cover of the unit.

Close the bottom cover of the unit.

ATTENTION! If the current sources are installed incorrectly, the mine detector will not work.

After completion of work, remove the power sources and store separately.

5. MINO DETECTOR SETUP

After installing the current sources and assembling the mine detector, set it up, for which: take the mine detector in your right hand and, holding it above the ground at a height of 10 to 12 cm, slowly rotate the knobs of the amplifying unit compensator with your left hand until the main tone disappears in the telephones.

In this case, only a weak control tone of a higher frequency or noise should be heard in the phones.

Check the operation of the mine detector by approaching the search element of the equivalent setting at a distance of 10 cm. In this case, the sound of the main frequency should appear in the phones.

With temperature differences from 243 to 323 K, compensation may be lost. In this case it is necessary:

set the axes of the fine adjustment potentiometers to the middle position and compensate using the coarse adjustment potentiometers.

ATTENTION! When setting up a mine detector, the search element must be positioned so that there are no metal objects within a radius of one and a half meters from it.

6. ORDER OF WORK WITH THE MINO DETECTOR

Holding the search element by the bar and continuously moving it in front of you to the right and left, move forward in a given direction. In this case, it is necessary to ensure that the search element moves parallel to the ground surface at a distance of 5 to 7 cm from it. When moving along the reconnaissance strip, the sapper must move the search element forward no more than half of its length, while it is necessary to carefully ensure that the entire area of ​​the reconnaissance area is examined by the mine detector.

Having heard a signal on the phones (the appearance of a fundamental tone), the sapper must stop and clarify the location of the mine.

Depending on the task, he must either start extracting the mine, or designate its location.

To determine the location of the mine, the search element must be carefully moved forward, where the appearance of the signal was recorded, until it is received in the phones

minimum sound. If, with a further slight movement of the search element forward or backward, the signal in the phones increases, then the mine is located under the center of the search element. If, when moving the search element forward, the signal in the phones does not increase, then it is necessary, by moving the search element back, to locate the mine using the same method.

The mine is located under the center of the search element only if, when moving it forward or backward, the signal in the phones increases.

As necessary, the mine detector should be adjusted, achieving the minimum volume of the main tone.

It should be remembered that the sensitivity of the mine detector is determined by the thoroughness of its settings.

In all other respects, strictly follow the requirements of the instructions for safety measures when clearing the area.

ATTENTION! Small metal masses (fuzes) can cause a weak signal, so when searching, the sapper must pay attention Special attention to detect these signals.

Features of the operation of the mine detector when searching

on the fords

When clearing fords, the mine detector is assembled to work in the "standing" position.

The length of the strap of the bag with the reinforcement block must be adjusted so that the bag does not touch the water.

The assembled mine detector is adjusted in the usual manner on land, and then, when the search element is lowered into the water to a depth of 1 m, the mine detector is adjusted.

When setting up a mine detector in water, the search element must be removed from the ground at a distance of 10 to 20 cm.

ATTENTION! Before lowering the search element into the water, it is necessary to completely tighten the cap nut to prevent water from entering.

Mine detector IMP

The IMP mine detector is designed to detect, located in the ground, snow, under water and behind other obstacles made of non-magnetic materials, objects made of ferrous or non-ferrous metals or products containing metal objects in their composition. To be precise, this is not a mine detector, as such (that is, it does not look for the mines themselves as such), but a metal detector, or, as it is now fashionable to say (however, more correctly) - a metal detector. However, since almost all mines, to a greater or lesser extent, have metal products in their composition, this metal detector can rightfully be called a mine detector.

Mine detector IMP semiconductor induction type consists of: 1. A search element of a cylindrical shape with a connecting cable, a swivel assembly and a shortened rod;
2. Three extension rods with spring clips to secure the cable. Two rods have an internal thread for connection to each other, and one has a thread on one side only;
3. Amplifying block, which is also a container for power supplies;
4. Tarpaulin bag with a shoulder strap, designed to carry the amplifier unit and headphones (headphones);
5. Headphones;
6. Stacking box (transport packaging).

The search element is made of impact-resistant plastic and is a hermetically sealed cylinder, inside of which there is a generator and two receiving coils. The generator coil, receiving power from the amplifying unit, creates an alternating magnetic field, and two receiving coils, under the influence of this field, generate a signal. In the absence of metal objects in the magnetic field, the signals of both receiving coils are equal in magnitude and opposite in phase. The resulting signal is zero. Distortion magnetic field, due to the ingress of a metal object into it, causes a mismatch of the receiving coils and the signal becomes different from zero. depending on mass subject and the distance to it, the signal strength changes.
For the convenience of using the mine detector, a coupling collar with a screw and a ratchet is put on the search element. The lower end of the shortened rod is put on the screw. This allows you to adjust the position of the search element relative to the rod. In order to ensure exact definition places of a metal object, the middle of the search element has a slight thickening, which is usually painted white (optional). The signal in the headphones reaches its maximum when exactly this place is above the center of mass of the mine being searched for.
The search element is completely sealed and allows immersion in water to a depth of 10 meters (this is not taking into account the length of the cable, which in the IMP has a length of 1.8 m.).

In the picture on the left, the IMP mine detector is assembled to work in the prone position.

The amplifying unit is designed to accommodate batteries (four galvanic cell type "373" (Mars)), generating voltage for the generator coil, receiving and processing the signal, transmitting the signal to the headphones, turning the mine detector on and off, and setting the mine detector.
The mine detector is tuned by alternate rotation of the rack in order to achieve the disappearance of the sound signal in the headphones (i.e., the operation of the receiving coils is coordinated by rotating the rack). If it is not possible to achieve complete disappearance of the signal by rotating the ratchet, then by rotating the coarse adjustment screws with a screwdriver, the signal is weakened, after which the signal is completely eliminated by rotating the ratchet.
The reinforcing block is made of duralumin and sealed. The tightness provides protection against rain, dirt and short-term immersion in water. On the sides of the block there are usually hooks for attaching a cross-shoulder strap, which allows you to carry the block over your shoulder without a bag. Some series of blocks also have a hook on one of the sides, which allows you to attach the block to the sapper's waist (trouser) belt.

The canvas bag is designed to carry the amplifying unit while working with the mine detector and headphones (when the mine detector prepared for work, but the work itself is not yet done).

Extension rods provide the ability to assemble the mine detector to work standing or lying down. In the first case, all three rods are used, and in the second, only one (the final one).

Headphones are used to indicate the detected metal object. When in the zone there are no metal objects detected, then only a low, weak background tone (rustle) is heard in the headphones. When metal appears in the detection zone, a high tone (whistling) appears in the headphones, which intensifies as the search element approaches in the subject. The sound reaches its maximum when the center of the search element is above the center of mass of the mine, and as the search element moves away from the mine, the sound weakens. This allows you to determine the size of the object, its exact location and depth.

The transport box is designed to accommodate all the constituent parts of the mine detector (batteries in the amplifying unit) and carry the mine detector to the place of work. For this purpose, a suitcase-type handle is used. In addition, on one of the planes of the box there are hooks for fastening belts and straps, which allows you to carry the mine detector in the box behind your back like a satchel.

In the picture on the right, the IMP mine detector is assembled for standing work.

To use the mine detector you need:
- remove the components from the box, unscrew the rods for standing or lying work;
- fix the cable in the clamps of the rods and screw it to the connector of the amplifying unit;
- open the bottom cover of the amplifying unit and insert the batteries into it; close the lid;
- put on a canvas bag over your shoulder and put an amplifying unit into it;
- put headphones on your head and insert the headphone plug into the socket of the amplifying unit;
- turn on the toggle switch;
- by alternating rotation of the adjustment rack, ensure that only a faint rustle is heard in the headphones;
- bring the search element to a metal object and make sure that a whistle appears in the headphones, that the sensitivity of the search element is normal (the mine detector must detect its transport box from a distance of at least 40 cm, usually 50-70 cm);
- search by holding the search element parallel to the ground at a height of 5-7 cm. from the surface; use the search element to describe an arc in front of you in a sector of 120-130 degrees from left to right or from right to left, then move forward by the length of the search element and describe the arc again; when a signal occurs, by moving the search element left-right-forward-backward, specify the location of the detected object and, by the strength of the signal, its duration at the time of movement, identify the object;
- periodically, when a weak steady whistle appears in the headphones, adjust the mine detector.

Tactical and technical characteristics of the IMP mine detector

To work underwater at depths up to 10-15 m, there is a diving version of the mine detector under the MIV brand. It differs from the basic model in that the adjustment racks are placed on the rod (only one rod is elongated), the amplifying unit is placed on the diver's chest under the suit, in the upper part of the rod there is a cuff for attaching the rod to the forearm right hand diver. Complete all set 11 kg, checked bottom area per hour 100-120 sq.m. The rest of the MIV does not differ from the IMP.

IMP mine detectors, according to the tables to the states, are supplied in engineering and sapper platoons of 9 kits, in other platoons of engineering troops, 3 kits each, in motorized rifle, tank companies, 3 kits each, in artillery batteries of artillery units, 3 kits each -that, in paratrooper companies, 1 to-that.

P.S. Last years on a number of forums there were quite a lot of caustic reviews about the qualities of the IMP and comparing it with the latest metal detectors. Naturally, not in favor of the IMP. Would you like to compare combat characteristics I-16 and Su-37 fighters. Or tanks BT-7 and T-90.
Every vegetable has its time. The IMP was created in the mid-sixties of the XX century and for almost 50 years could not but become outdated. In general, it's great that the IMP has not yet sunk into the section of forgotten weapons. That means they are still in use today. And that says a lot.

4. DESIGN AND OPERATION OF THE PRODUCT

In the search element of the mine detector, two receiving and one generator coils are placed. The receiving coils are located in the electromagnetic field of the generator coil so that the total e. D; e., induced in them, is approximately equal to zero.

To compensate for the imbalance voltage of the receiving coils due to changes in temperature and the nature of the environment, a phase-amplitude compensator is used.

A change in the connection between the transmitter and receiver coils of the search element when metal objects are introduced into the field of the transmitter coil causes an unbalance signal, which is amplified by the amplifier and heard in telephones.

DEVICE OF COMPONENT PARTS OF THE PRODUCT

search element

The search element is a frame, in the grooves of which the generator and two receiving coils are installed. At one end of the frame there is a generator loop capacitor.

ATTENTION! Protect the search element from shock.

Search element frame fig. 2 is placed in casing 6, which protects it from mechanical damage. The casing consists of two parts glued in the middle and is closed with a union nut 3. A seal is installed under the union nut between the casing and the frame.

The threaded part of the union nut is coated with moisture-resistant grease.

The connection of the search element with the amplifying unit is carried out by cable 2 with the insertion of the ShR connector.

The search element is connected to the holder 4 by means of a clamp 5 enclosing the casing.

To eliminate the influence of the rod metal on the search element, the holder is made of textolite.

The location of the clamp on the casing is strictly fixed, which corresponds to the least influence of the metal parts of the rod on the operation of the search system.

ATTENTION! Install the frame of the search element into the casing with the mark towards the holder.

ATTENTION! Disassembly of the search element in the field is unacceptable.

5.2. Amplifying block

Reinforcing block fig. 3 consists of two parts: a dur-aluminum base 10 with a top cover 3 and a steel box 11 with a hinged bottom cover 15.

A board 16 is installed on the base, on which elements of the generator and amplifier, and potentiometers of the phase-amplitude compensator 9 are mounted, there is a compartment for current sources.

On the top cover 3 are placed:

Connector block ШР 20 for connecting the cable of the search element with the amplifying unit;

Cap 5, which is screwed onto the Shp 20 connector block when not in use and serves to protect the connector parts from damage, contamination and moisture ingress;

Telephone jacks 6, into which the plug of telephones is inserted during operation;

Toggle switch 7 for turning on and off current sources;

Two knobs 8 of the compensator, which serve to fine-tune the mine detector.

The axes of two coarse-tuning potentiometers of the phase-amplitude compensator 9 are brought out through the cover 3 under the slot.

The base is fixed to the box with the help of two screws 4. Carabiners 12 are installed on the side walls of the box, which serve to fasten the shoulder strap when working with a mine detector without a canvas bag.

The box has a hinged bottom cover 15 connected to it by means of a hinge and a lock 13. The bottom cover is intended for access to the current source compartment and for connecting 14 current sources to each other using a contact spring.

A rubber seal 2 is installed between the top cover and the base. A seal is also installed on the bottom cover. For ease of use, the amplifying unit is placed in a canvas bag.

5.3. Barbell

For ease of transportation and the possibility of the sapper working in the “lying” or “standing” position, the rod is collapsible and consists of three knees made of duralumin pipes.

5.4. Packing case

The stowage case is made of duralumin and is designed to accommodate all mine detector components during transportation and carrying. The lid is hinged to the case and closed with two tension locks. Brackets are installed inside the stacking case to secure the mine detector assemblies. The stowage case is adapted for carrying in hands and behind the back.

ORDER OF WORK WITH THE MINO DETECTOR

Holding the search element by the bar and continuously moving it in front of you to the right and left, move forward in a given direction. In this case, it is necessary to ensure that the search element moves parallel to the ground surface at a distance of 5 to 7 cm from it. When moving along the reconnaissance strip, the sapper must move the search element forward no more than half of its length, while it is necessary to carefully ensure that the entire area of ​​the reconnaissance area is examined by the mine detector.

Having heard a signal on the phones (the appearance of a fundamental tone), the sapper must stop and clarify the location of the mine.

Depending on the task, he must either start removing the mine, or designate its location.

To determine the location of the mine, the search element must be carefully moved forward, where the appearance of the signal was recorded, until a minimum sound is received in the telephones. If, with a further slight movement of the search element forward or backward, the signal in the phones increases, then the mine is located under the center of the search element. If, when moving the search element forward, the signal in the phones does not increase, then it is necessary, by moving the search element back, to locate the mine using the same method.

The mine is located under the center of the search element only if, when moving it forward or backward, the signal in the phones increases.

As necessary, the mine detector should be adjusted, achieving the minimum volume of the main tone.

It should be remembered that the sensitivity of the mine detector is determined by the thoroughness of its settings.

In all other respects, strictly follow the requirements of the instructions for safety measures when clearing the area.

ATTENTION! Small metal masses (fuzes) can cause a weak signal, so when searching, the sapper must pay special attention to fixing these signals.

Features of the operation of the mine detector when searching fords

When clearing fords, the mine detector is assembled to work in a standing position.

The length of the strap of the bag with the reinforcement block must be adjusted so that the bag does not touch the water.

The assembled mine detector is adjusted in the usual manner on land, and then, when the search element is lowered into the water to a depth of 1 m, the mine detector is adjusted.

When setting up a mine detector in water, the search element must be removed from the ground at a distance of 10 to 20 cm.

ATTENTION! Before lowering the search element into the water, it is necessary to completely tighten the cap nut to prevent water from entering.

Army metal detector

Army metal detector

1. Cylindrical search element with a connecting cable, a swivel assembly and a shortened rod;
The search element is made of impact-resistant plastic and is a hermetically sealed cylinder, inside of which there is a generator and two receiving coils. The generator coil, receiving power from the amplifying unit, creates an alternating magnetic field, and two receiving coils, under the influence of this field, generate a signal. In the absence of metal objects in the magnetic field, the signals of both receiving coils are equal in magnitude and opposite in phase.
The resulting signal is zero. The distortion of the magnetic field, due to the ingress of a metal object into it, causes a mismatch in the receiving coils and the signal becomes non-zero. Depending on the mass of the object and the distance to it, the signal strength changes.
For the convenience of using the mine detector, a coupling collar with a screw and a ratchet is put on the search element. The lower end of the shortened rod is put on the screw. This allows you to adjust the position of the search element relative to the rod. In order to ensure accurate determination of the location of a metal object, the middle of the search element has a slight thickening, which is usually painted white (optional). The signal in the headphones reaches its maximum when exactly this place is above the center of mass of the mine being searched for.
The search element is completely sealed and allows immersion in water to a depth of 10 meters (this is not taking into account the length of the cable, which in the IMP has a length of 1.8 m.).

2. Three rods with special spring clips to secure the cable.
Extension rods provide the ability to assemble the mine detector to work standing or lying down. In the first case, all three rods are used, and in the second, only one (the final one).

3. Amplifying block, which is also a container for power supplies;

The amplifying unit is intended for placing batteries in it (four galvanic cells of the "373" (Mars) type), generating voltage for the generator coil, receiving and processing the signal, transmitting the signal to the headphones, turning the mine detector on and off, and setting the mine detector.
The mine detector is tuned by alternate rotation of the rack in order to achieve the disappearance of the sound signal in the headphones (i.e., the operation of the receiving coils is coordinated by rotating the rack). If it is not possible to achieve complete disappearance of the signal by rotating the ratchet, then by rotating the coarse adjustment screws with a screwdriver, the signal is weakened, after which the signal is completely eliminated by rotating the ratchet.
The reinforcing block is made of duralumin and sealed. The tightness provides protection against rain, dirt and short-term immersion in water. On the sides of the block there are usually hooks for fastening through the shoulder strap, which allows you to carry the block over your shoulder without a bag. Some series of blocks also have a hook on one of the sides, which allows you to attach the block to the waist (trouser) belt of the sapper
.
Amplifying unit and container for power supplies Imp

4. Separate bag for carrying the amplifier unit and headphones
Headphones are used to indicate the detected metal object. When there are no metal objects in the detection zone, only a low, weak background tone (rustle) is heard in the headphones. When a metal appears in the detection zone in the head, as the search element approaches in the subject. The sound reaches its maximum when the center of the search element is above the center of mass of the mine, and as the search element moves away from the mine, the sound weakens. This allows you to determine the size of the object, its exact location and depth.

5. Headphones - Headphones

6. Packing - transport box
The transport box is designed to accommodate all the constituent parts of the mine detector (batteries in the amplifying unit) and carry the mine detector to the place of work. For this purpose, a suitcase-type handle is used. In addition, on one of the planes of the box there are hooks for fastening belts and straps, which allows you to carry the mine detector in the box behind your back like a satchel.


transport boxIMP

Assembling an army metal detector:

  • we remove the IMP from the package, we connect the components;
  • fix the cable in the clamps of the rods and attach it to the amplifying unit;
  • We insert the batteries into the amplifying unit and the unit is fixed in a carrying bag
  • connect the headphones to the amplifier unit.
  • press the toggle switch to turn on;

Setting up the IMP:

The setting is carried out by alternating rotation of the rack, achieving only a slight rustle in the headphones, after testing we bring it to the search element - a metal object, a whistle appears in the headphones.

How the search was done using the TIM

  • Holding the search element parallel to the ground at a height of 5-7cm. from the surface;
  • with a search element, describe an arc in front of you in a sector of 120-130 degrees from left to right or from right to left,
  • then move forward by the length of the search element and describe the arc again;
  • when a signal occurs, by moving the search element left-right-forward-backward, specify the location of the detected object and, by the strength of the signal, its duration at the time of movement, identify the object;

Advantages of an army metal detector- this is simplicity use at work. Any soldier, after not much training, could handle the IPM. Reliability was also on top, it was necessary to do the full adjustment only once, because it is very simple and practically does not go astray, well, when changing batteries.

Significant cons of the IMP - the weight, when assembled, the mine detector weighs 6 kg, therefore, after working with it for 2-3 hours, the hands are tucked away and the operator-fighter leads the search element on the ground, while risking being blown up by a mine.

At the same time, the deep characteristics of the IMF at that time are very good, detection depth anti-tank mines of the M15 type - up to 40 cm, and anti-personnel mines of the M14 type - up to 8 cm. Also a plus it could be submerged in water up to 1-1.2 meters. For all that, he was very economical One set of batteries lasted more than 80 hours.

IMP is an obsolete model; in the late 80s, the IMP was decommissioned

INTRODUCTION-5min

According to estimates, from 5 to 10 million mines are produced annually in the world. To date, approximately 110 million of them have been installed in 64 countries and remain in combat position. Up to 10 million mines have been installed in Afghanistan alone. About 2 million of them are installed on the territory of Bosnia, and taking into account the territory of Croatia and Serbia, this number increases to 3.7 million. According to the International Red Cross, in Mozambique, all major roads pose a danger to movement, since 2 million mines were planted on them during the 18-year civil war.

According to a UN report, 26,000 people are killed by mines worldwide every year and approximately the same number are injured. The victims are mostly civilians, up to half of whom are children.

Demining is a very slow and labor intensive process. The removal of an anti-personnel mine, which costs US$3 to produce, costs US$300-1000. During the year, no more than 200-300 thousand mines are removed all over the world, and more than a million new mines are re-installed. On average, every 5,000 mines are cleared, 1 sapper is killed and 2 are injured. Even assuming that no mines are laid, the cost of complete demining in all countries would be $33 billion and would take 500 years to complete at the current pace of work.

The experience of military operations in Afghanistan and Chechnya shows that the success of the tasks of searching for mines and land mines, as well as weapons depots, fully depends on whether there are specialists in the engineering troops unit who have studied the unmasking signs of search objects to the subtlety and skillfully use reconnaissance equipment. . So, for example, when supporting combat operations in the green zone of the province of Parvan in February 1984, the composition of the search group using the IMB finder discovered a warehouse with weapons and ammunition at a depth of 2 m. The warehouse was discovered by junior sergeant R. Kumurzin, who was fluent in this device. On the territory of Chechnya, as of September 05, 1996, the forces of units and subunits of the engineering troops completed the following volumes of tasks:

1. Scouted and demined:

- terrain - 54 thousand hectares,

- buildings and structures - 1060 thousand hectares,

including residential buildings - 317,

schools - 47,

hospitals - 32,

kindergartens - 10,

objects - 793,

lines of power lines - 780 km,

roads - 775 km.

2. In total, 470,000 explosive objects were discovered and destroyed. Including:

- engineering mines - 11600,

- artillery shells - 99200,

Mortar mines - 75400,

ATGM-1280,

The principle of operation of MMP is based on a combination of two methods:

1. Radio wave - sounding signals are emitted by transmitting antennas, reflected from the ground surface, received by receiving antennas and detected.

2. Induction - a reflected electromagnetic wave is captured with characteristics characteristic of Me (amplitude, phase).

Operating procedure

When reconnaissance of the area, the search element of the mine detector is moved with a sweep to the left - to the right parallel to the ground surface at a height of 10 centimeters at a speed of 0.6 - 0.9 m / s (2 - 3 km / h). After each stroke, the search element is moved forward 1/3 of its length. The appearance of a short signal indicates the presence of a foreign object.

The principle of operation is based on fixing the difference in the dielectric permittivity of explosives, the material of the mine body and the environment in which the mine is installed. Sounding signals are emitted by transmitting antennas, reflected from the ground surface, received by receiving antennas and detected. When moving the search element over the mine, a sound signal appears in the phones.

Preparation for work

1. Assemble the mine detector;

2. Connect headphones to the signal processing unit;

3. Insert power supplies;

4. Check functionality.

Operating procedure

The search for mines, depending on the state of the soil, is carried out in one of two search modes: I " or "P". Mode " I " is used to search for mines, in the snow, as well as under a layer of water, and the "P" mode in other cases.

Moving in a given direction, move the search element parallel to the ground at a height of 3-7 centimeters with smooth strokes, making sure that there are no unexplored areas left. When a signal appears on the phones, stop and check the location of the object
