1 Preface 5

1 Preface

Dear customer,

in the first instance we want to thank you that you made your decision on a product of OKM
Ortungstechnik GmbH.

With our team of specialists we guarantee that our products are under recurrent control. Our
specialists try to implement new developments in terms of further quality improvements for you.

Of course by selling our products we cannot guarantee that you really make a find during your
research. The recognition of hidden objects and structures depends on a hugh number of factors

- like you know. Determining factors are the dielectricity constant of the ground, the grade of
mineralisation and the dimensions of an object relating to its depth. Specially in very wet soil,
clay and sand with high conductivity of the ground, recording of the me asured results can be
falsified strongly.

With this product you purchased a device which stood the tests in regular operation like all
other products of us. If you are interested in where our devices have gone into action please
visit our homepage.

For our company it is necessary that we protect our developments within the framework of exist­ing legislation to a patent or trademark registration. Therewith we offer you a higher warranty
while using our products.

Please take your time consecutively, read this user‘s manual and familiarize yourself with the
utilisation and operation of this FS-Thermoscan.
