OPERATION–Getting Started in the Field
STANCE
•Stand with your arm extended in
front of your body. Hold the
searchcoil off the ground, 1 inch
above the surface.
•Position the searchcoil parallel to the
ground.
SWEEP
•Swing the coil slowly, from side to
side. The coil must be in motion to
detect metal.
•Maintain the coil parallel to the
ground. Do not raise the coil at the
end of each sweep.
•Move slowly and overlap each
sweep as you move forward,
sweeping the coil in half-circle
movements.
•The coil must be in motion to detect
metal. Your Tracker II incorporates
motion detection technology. A
motionless searchcoil will not detect
buried objects.
TARGET RESPONSE
Most desirable targets will induce
repeatable tones. When the detector
emits a tone, pass the coil over the
same spot again, and listen for a
consistent repeatable tone each time
the coil passes over the target zone.
Broken
tones
and
non-
repeatable tones usually indicate the
presence of trash or irregularly
shaped objects. Electromagnetic
interference (EMI) can cause false, or
non-repeatable, signals. EMI is
emitted by power lines (overhead or
buried), other detectors (keep 2
detectors 20 feet apart), or by
machinery and motors.
STARTING CONTROL SETTINGS
The easiest way to get started is with
the control settings as follows:
MODE – at Disc
GROUND – at Normal
SENSITIVITY – at 3:00 position
DISCRIMINATION – at 12:00
