Golden Mask 4
1. Standard coil
Golden Mask 4 features a standard
10.5”
(27 cm) DD search coil. The coil is made
from ABS plastic and its lower end is
covered with epoxide resin which adds
strength and hermetic seal to the whole
construction. The search coil has good
sensitivity to both small and large objects.
Optional coils
DD 7” (18 cm), DD 8” (20 cm), DD 8x10”
(20x25 cm), DD 10X12” (25x31 cm)
DD 12.5” (32 cm), 12.5x15” (32x38 cm);
The smaller coils have better sensitivity to
small objects (coins) and are preferably
used on heavily polluted terrains. The larger
coils (DD 32 and DD 32x38) have better
sensitivity to larger objects and are suitable
for deep underground search, having 10-20
% better sensitivity than DD 27 cm.
2. Shaft
The shaft is made of aluminum tube and
features a carbon lower rod (not metal) to
avoid
interference
with
the
coil
performance.
3. Control box with electronics
The control box is made of extremely robust
ABS
plastic.
4. Armrest
The armrest is made of aluminum for
greater strength and its diameter is
adjustable for a better grip. The foam hand
grip is attached at the front end of the
armrest.
5. Battery holder
The battery holder is made of plastic and
contains a pack of 10 batteries AA NiMH
1,2 V/ 1000 mAh.
4. Assembly/ Disassembly
Take the lower rod (the carbon part), place
the rubber sealing in the openings of the
stem and align them with the openings of
the mounting ears on the search coil. Insert
the plastic bolt into the openings and press
it until it comes out of the opposite end,
then screw the plastic nut and tighten it
gently.
Warning:
It is essential to replace the rubber sealing
when it wears off to avoid over-tightening of the
screw nut which may cause deformation of the
mounting ears of the search coil and overall
distortion of the coil. Deformation of the search
coil leads to severe deterioration of the metal
detector parameters!
Take the middle rod, unscrew plastic nut
No.6 and mount the lower (carbon) rod.
This telescopic connection allows adjusting
the total length of the shaft according to
your height. Make sure that the distance
between the aluminum part and the search
coil is
at least 30 cm.
To fix the length,
tighten the plastic nut.
Take the electronics component, unscrew
the big plastic screw nut No. 7 and mount
the shaft with the search coil. Then screw
the nut back on until the movement of the
coil against the shaft is restricted. Wind the
cable tightly upwards around the shaft and
make sure to leave the cable loose at the
lower end near the search coil to avoid
damage
to
the
cable
while
the
metaldetector is folded for transportation.
