2/ Mode "Waft": GAIN = between "5" and "MAX", SILENCER = between "3" and "FULL", THRESHOLD
= "6" - "7" (with audio threshold).
These modes are also present in the other versions (v1, v2, v2i), but in v3 they are best expressed.
Categorically, v3 is with extreme improved sensitivity to very small metal objects. In mode "Waft", for
deep and weak signals, is possible to need to work on higher levels of potentiometer SILENCER.
The proper adjustment of SILENCER potentiometer (setting higher levels) is one of the options by
which BLISSTOOL LTC64X can be turned into a completely silent (quiet) metal detector.
9.9. DISCRIMINATOR switch
The DISCRIMINATOR switch serves to set the maximum range of
discrimination of the metal detector, ie it defines the scope of the
potentiometer DISCR LEVEL.
The various modes are conditional numbered as: "I", "II" and "III".
The purpose of using of DISCRIMINATOR switch is, for a particular terrain, the
user to find this mode in which the metal detector has the most sinless and
therefore the best discrimination. For this purpose, DISCR LEVEL and DISCR
DEPTH potentiometers should also be adequately adjusted.
The recommended position of DISCRIMINATOR switch is mode "III".
For beginner searchers, the most appropriate is mode "I", as in this mode
choke up in most the ground background and the local heterogeneous
clusters.
In the same situation DISCR LEVEL and DISCR DEPTH, the scope of discrimination is the widest in
mode "I", with an average width is in mode "II", and the closest is in mode "III".
The ratio of the individual modes is:
mode "III" = 1 х mode "III"
mode "II" = 1.5 х mode "III"
mode "I" = 2 х mode "III"
In mode "III", the scope of discrimination is limited to small pieces of aluminum foil, ie in this mode
can discriminate mainly iron. According to the user setup of potentiometers DISCR LEVEL and
DISCR DEPTH, can be ignored: iron and small pieces of aluminum foil. Mode "III" is suitable for
search of iron, gold, copper, bronze and silver metal objects (foils, coins, jewelry, artifacts), ie this
mode is universal because it is suitable for all metal objects: low conductive, highly conductive, low
quality, high quality.
In mode "II", the scope of discrimination is limited to small pieces of low conductive metals and
alloys (usually different modern pollutants from non-ferrous metals). According to the user setup of
potentiometers DISCR LEVEL and DISCR DEPTH, can be ignored: iron; small pieces of aluminum
foil; various modern pollutants from non-ferrous metals; thin foils from non-ferrous metals. Mode "II"
is suitable for search of copper, bronze and silver metal objects (foils, coins, jewelry, artifacts), ie
this mode is special as it is only suitable for the following metal objects: highly conductive, low
quality, high quality.
In mode "I", the scope of discrimination is limited to small pieces of low quality metals and alloys
(small, low quality and thin pieces of non-ferrous metals). According to the user setup of
potentiometers DISCR LEVEL and DISCR DEPTH, can be ignored: iron; small pieces of aluminum
foil; various modern pollutants from non-ferrous metals; thin foils from non-ferrous metals; small,
low quality and thin pieces of non-ferrous metals. Mode "I" is suitable for search of silver metal
objects (coins, jewelry, artifacts), ie this mode is special as it is only suitable for the following metal
objects: highly conductive, high quality.
Besides a change in the scope of discrimination, with the change of the mode, is change and the
basic behavior of the metal detector in regard to the ground and the located in it metal objects.
Therefore, in practice, through DISCRIMINATOR switch, the user can set three different basic
behaviors of the metal detector in terms of its discrimination, ie though having three different metal
