PRODUCT SETTINGS
A variety of settings are stored in the detector’s memory for each product. The product settings can be changed
through the level 2 or 3 menus. To view the settings or to make changes go to MENU / LEVEL 2 /
PASSWORD / PRODUCT SETTINGS. The following screen will appear:
You may also use the shortcut key “Product Settings” to the left of the control panel. A brief description of
each setting is shown below.
PHASE SETTING
As mentioned earlier in this manual, the metal detector attempts to “tune out” the signal coming from the
product itself. During the learn process, the metal detector selects the correct phase setting, from 0-180, that
most effectively reduces the signal coming from the product. Think of the phase control as the tuning dial on a
radio. Only instead of tuning in a station, it is tuning out the product. This phase is set most accurately by the
learn process and generally should not have to be adjusted by the user.
SENSITIVITY 1 & SENSITIVITY 2
The metal detector has two channels of sensitivity. During the learning process, the metal detector assigns the
signal from the product to one channel of sensitivity and the signal from the metal to the other channel of
sensitivity. Each channel is adjustable from 0-9999. The metal detector increases the sensitivity on the metal
channel and decreases the sensitivity on the product channel. If you check the sensitivity after learning a
product, you will see that one sensitivity is higher than the other. The lower sensitivity is the product and the
higher sensitivity is the metal. Based on the phase setting, described above, the metal detector will select one
channel for product and the other for metal. Therefore, the sensitivity to metal is not always on the same
channel and can be determined only by examining both channels to see which is higher. While the channels are
mostly independent of each other, there is some crossover between the two.
