Standard VLF Signal	Precision VFLEX Signal
(Without VFLEX)

For the X-Terra user, this precision means dependable performance and improved immunity to environmental conditions such as ground mineralization, electromagnetic interference and temperature variations.

VFLEX requires coils that are accurately constructed and calibrated. Every time the detector starts up, the micro-controllers in the control box and the coil establish communication through a digital data link.

Information about the coil is sent to the control box, so the detector ‘knows’ what type of coil is attached and can set the correct operating parameters.

This optimizes the performance, and also makes the detector ‘future proof’, in that it will be capable of operating at diﬀerent frequencies* depending on the electronic properties of the coil.
