Reed Switch Probe
The Geosense Reed Switch Probe is a reliable and easy-to-use instrument designed for locating magnetic targets within boreholes. It is commonly paired with Magnetic Extensometers, Settlement Systems, and other monitoring installations that rely on magnetic anchors. Because it provides clear readings and simple operation, the probe is widely used in geotechnical, civil, and environmental projects.
The device works by detecting changes in the magnetic field around the probe. When it passes a magnetic anchor or magnetic ring, the internal reed switch closes momentarily, creating an audible or visible signal at the surface. As a result, technicians can identify exact anchor positions and calculate movement with confidence.
Moreover, the Reed Switch Probe is built to handle challenging site conditions. It is durable, lightweight, and compatible with standard graduated tapes, which ensures smooth use in both shallow and deep installations. Thanks to its straightforward design, the probe reduces the risk of user error and allows fast measurements during routine or long-term monitoring campaigns.
