XPlorer

XP Metal Detectors, also known as XP Detectors or XPlorerXP Metal Detectors is a French manufacturer of metal detectors. XP Metal Detectors is a pioneer in the use of wireless technology and the production of lightweight metal detectors.

Company history and background

XP Metal Detectors was founded in France in 1998. Since its inception, it has earned a reputation as a manufacturer that emphasizes light weight. The company's founders, including lead engineer Alain Loubet, played a key role in the development of detectors that brought new standards in ergonomics to the market.

Key development engineers

• Alain Loubet: Founder and Chief Technical Engineer of the company. Loubet has contributed to the development of many important XP detector technologies and models. His vision was to create detectors that are comfortable and easy to use for users.
• The XP development team: The company has an expert team of electrical engineers and developers who specialize in wireless technology, signal processing and ergonomic designs.

Key models and their features

XP Metal Detectors is particularly famous for the following models:

1. XP DEUS:

   • DEUS:It was the world's first fully wireless metal detector. All of its components, including the coil, remote control, and headphones, communicate wirelessly, providing the ultimate in search convenience.
   • Features: lightweight design, customizable with software updates, advanced discrimination features.

2. XP ORX:

   • Description: the ORX is a lighter and more affordable version of the DEUS, aimed at gold and small coin prospectors. It offers some of the advanced features of the DEUS, but is optimized for users who prefer simpler controls.
   • Features: simple interface, wireless technology, multi-frequency modes.

3. XP Gold Maxx Power:

   • Description: This model is ideal for searching in areas of high waste due to its fast response time and ability to distinguish between ferrous and non-ferrous metals.
   • Features: high frequency for searching small targets, excellent ferrous discrimination.
   • Significance: It was one of the pioneering detectors that laid the foundation for XP's future development.

Technological innovations

XP Metal Detectors is known for several major technological advances:

• Wireless technology: the XP DEUS was the first detector to allow full wireless communication between major parts, eliminating the need for cables and contributing to a lighter construction. The XP used Nordic Semiconductor's technology, known from many industrial applications such as various remote gate controls, etc.
• Frequency shifting: The ability to change the frequency of the detector to optimize the search in different soil types and environments.
• Modularity.

Areas of application and user base

XP detectors are popular among amateur and professional treasure hunters. These devices are especially valued for their light weight.
