Core Features

1. Bluetooth Wireless Pairing Transmitter

2. 3 Frequency Filtering Modes (Adapted to Different Construction Site Interference Environments)

Pattern Key Features Suitable scenarios Scanning capabilities
Eagle Tech Automatic Screening (Exclusive) Performs a full-range scan along the entire drill hole path and automatically selects the optimal dual-band configuration Construction sites with high levels of electromagnetic interference Full-path scanning at 8,000+ frequencies, providing maximum detection depth
Manual frequency selection Manual selection of a single frequency band, fixed-point scanning Signal interference is only affecting certain locations on the construction site Single-point scanning at 8,000+ frequencies
Transmitter default frequency band Quick one-click activation – couldn’t be simpler Simple, small-scale projects; rapid on-site commissioning Just 2 sets of default bands, 1,000+ frequencies

3. First-time setup with Automatic selection

4. Calibrate both bands and all power levels at once

5. Supporting Software and Digital Features:
