The VM-880 by Vivax-Metrotech is a specialized ferrous metal detector designed to locate buried iron and steel objects such as valve boxes, manhole covers, and boundary markers. Operating exclusively on ferrous materials, the VM-880 effectively filters out non-ferrous items like aluminum cans and bottle caps, reducing false positives and enhancing detection accuracy. This capability is particularly beneficial for professionals engaged in underground utility detection and asset management across Arizona, California, New Mexico, Nevada, and Texas.

Weighing just 1.54 pounds (0.7 kg), the VM-880 is the lightest in its class, offering exceptional portability and ease of use during extended field operations. Its ultra-strong, water-resistant carbon fiber antenna tube ensures durability in various environmental conditions. The device features both audio and visual signal strength indicators, a field polarity indicator, and a one-touch auto sensitivity control with manual incremental adjustments, allowing users to fine-tune detection settings based on specific site requirements.

Additional functionalities include a 50/60Hz power signal warning, alerting operators to nearby live cables, and a unique screen inversion feature to aid in pinpointing targets. Powered by two AA batteries, the VM-880 provides up to 26 hours of continuous operation, ensuring reliability during prolonged fieldwork. Its ergonomic design and intuitive interface minimize training requirements, enabling efficient deployment in diverse applications such as locating manhole covers in sewer systems and identifying valve boxes in water and gas lines.
