IN THE FIELD TECHNIQUES
When pinpointing a target, try drawing an “X”,
as illustrated, over where the tone is induced.
PINPOINTING
Accurate pinpointing takes practice
and is best accomplished by
“X-ing” the target area.
1.
Once a buried target is indicated
by a good tone response,
continue sweeping the coil over
the target in a narrowing
side-to-side pattern.
2.
Take visual note of the place on
the ground where the “beep”
sounds.
3.
Stop the coil directly over this
spot on the ground.
4.
Now move the coil straight
forward and straight back
towards you a couple of times.
5.
Again make visual note of the
spot on the ground at which
the “beep” sounds.
6.
If needed, “X” the target at
different angles to “zero in” on
the exact spot on the ground at
which the “beep” sounds.
COIL MOVEMENT
When swinging the coil, be
careful to keep it level with the
ground about one inch from the
surface. Never swing the coil like
a pendulum.
CORRECT
WRONG
ASSEMBLY
Assembly is easy and requires no tools.
●
1
Position detector upright.
●
2
Rotate the LOCKING
COLLAR fully in a counter
clockwise direction.
●
3
Insert your finger inside the
tube and make sure the
INTERNAL CAM LOCK is
flush with the inside of the
tube.
●
4
Insert the LOWER STEM into
the S-ROD.
●
5
Rotate the LOWER STEM until the SILVER BUTTON locates in the hole.
●
6
Twist the LOCKING COLLAR fully in the clockwise direction until it locks.
●
7
If your detector has 3 tubes and 2 locking collars, repeat this process
on the Middle Stem.
●
8
Position the Lower Stem (the straight tube) with the Silver Button
toward the back. Using the Bolt and Knurled Knob, attach the
Searchcoil to the plastic extension protruding from the Lower Stem.
●
9
Press the button on the upper end of the Lower Stem, and slide the
Lower Stem into the S-Rod.
Adjust the Stem to a length that lets
you maintain a comfortable upright
posture, with your arm relaxed at
your side, and the Searchcoil parallel
to the ground in front of you.
●
10
Wind the Cable securely around the
Stem.
●
11
Insert the Plug into the matching
Connector on the right underside of
the Detector Body. Be sure that the
key-way and pins line up correctly.
Caution:
Do not force the plug in. Excess
force will cause damage.
To disconnect the cable, pull on
the plug.
Do not pull on the cable.
