TARGET IDENTIFICATION
Target-ID
When objects are detected, the detector will emit a sound and a 2-digit Target-ID
will appear on the screen. Possible Target-IDs range from 1 to 99. This number
represents the electrical conductivity of the target; higher numbers indicate more
highly conductive targets.
The 2-digit number indicates the Target-ID of the last object detected. This
detector has fast target response and is able to detect different objects in very
close proximity. Therefore, the Target-ID displayed may change rapidly as you
sweep the searchcoil.
Three seconds after the last Target-ID is displayed, the Target-ID will time-out and
the number will disappear.
Conductivity Arc Indicator
At the same time that the 2-digit Target-ID appears, an indicator will illuminate
along the Conductivity Arc indicating which target category the detected metal falls
into. The illuminated segment along the Arc will time-out in 3 seconds along with
the 2-digit Target-ID.
4-Tone Audio Target-ID
The detector will produce 1 of 4 sounds for any metal detected: V.C.O., low-tone,
medium-tone or high-tone. This audio feedback system is useful in conjunction
with the visual Target-ID system described above.
See chart below for description of tones induced by different metals in different
modes:
The faceplate label is color-coded above the Conductivity Arc. Ferrous, gold and silver
targets will generally register within their corresponding color-coded ranges. Targets that
are not gold or silver register within the same range according to their electrical
conductivity.
Note that the electrical conductivity of a target depends on both its composition and size.
Silver is more conductive than gold so registers farther to the right; and the larger the
silver object, the farther it registers to the right.
