8 Introduction
1.1 Preface
Dear customer,
all of the engineers, sales, training and support staff at OKM GmbH would like to thank you for your
purchase of the eXp 6000.
The eXp 6000 detector works on the principle of Electro-Magnetic Signature Reading (EMSR). Besides
the detection of metallic objects this device is also capable of detecting natural features of the earth like
formations of strata, cavities, voids, faults, ground water and other non-metallic objects. Then of course
this equipment is best suited at detecting burials, graves, sepulchers, treasure, buried utilities, tanks
and the like.
The eXp 6000 is able to locate, document and analyze buried objects within various structures and
vessels non-intrusively without having to excavate the area. Using EMSR is particularly useful in areas
where detection is a must and excavation is not possible. The facile and flexible handling of the eXp
6000 can easily and quickly give reproducible results.
With our team of specialists we guarantee that our products are under recurrent control. Our specialists

By purchasing or using one of our products, we cannot guarantee that during your research that you will
be successful and have a find. The recognition of hidden and buried objects depends on a huge number
of factors. As you may know there are different soil types all over the world with different levels of
natural attenuation. Variable soil properties can and will hamper and alter ultimate scan measurements.
Areas where there is an extreme amount of ground water, varying clays, sands and wet soils making
scanning more difficult and may reduce the maximum depth capabilities of any and all detection
equipment, regardless of make or model.
