Features & Benefits
1Waterproof to 16 FeetHunt the beach, shallow water and wet ground with confidence.
The Simplex Ultra is rated IP68, so it is fully submersible up to 5 meters (16 ft) and protected from total dust ingress.
Why it matters: wet ground, rain, and shallow or deep water are no longer off limits.
2Control Over What You DigManual ground balance, discrimination and iron volume.
Notch Discrimination lets you reject the Target IDs of unwanted metals, and manual ground balance helps you adapt to different soils. Iron Volume turns off or adjusts the volume of the low iron tone.
Why it matters: you dig fewer junk targets and spend more time on good finds.
3Wireless, Vibration and LightingBuilt for night hunts, noisy beaches and underwater use.
A built-in wireless module works with Nokta Bluetooth Headphones. The detector also vibrates when it finds a target, which suits hearing-impaired users and underwater detecting. The LCD backlight, keypad backlight and LED flashlight keep it easy to use in the dark, and Frequency Shift lets you tune out interference (EMI) in small steps.
Why it matters: you can keep hunting at dusk, in noisy areas, and underwater.
4Light, Balanced and Easy to CarryComfortable for long days in the field.
At 1.2 kg (2.6 lbs) and well balanced, the Simplex Ultra lets you detect for extended hours without fatigue. The carbon fiber shaft retracts down to 63 cm (25"), which makes it easy to transport, store and take diving.
Why it matters: less arm fatigue, and it fits in a backpack.
5Rechargeable and UpgradableCharge it anywhere and keep the software current.
The built-in Lipo battery charges from an AC charger or a USB power bank and gives up to 12 hours on a single charge, depending on usage and settings. Online firmware updates (via USB on a PC) keep your detector up to date.
Why it matters: a power bank in your pack means a day in the field is covered.
