ASSEMBLY

1

Position S-Rod upright.

2

Rotate  the  LOCKING  COLLAR  fully  in  the

counterclockwise 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 MIDDLE STEM into the S-ROD,

with the SILVER BUTTON pointed upward.

5

Rotate  the  MIDDLE  STEM  until  the  SILVER

BUTTON locates in the hole.

6

Twist  the  LOCKING  COLLAR  fully  in  the

clockwise direction until it locks.

7

Repeat this process on the LOWER STEM.

8

Using the BOLT and KNURLED KNOB, attach

the SEARCHCOIL to the LOWER STEM.

9

Adjust the LOWER 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  STEMS,

leaving slack at the bottom.

11

Insert the plug into the matching connector on

the back of the detector body.  Be sure that the

key-way and pins line up correctly.

12

Tighten both LOCKING COLLARS.

IRON IDENTIFICATION

Variable Iron Identification & Discrimination

The Eurotek

®

allows the user not only to discriminate iron targets, but classifies

them by size and signal strength.  Ferrous objects will have a Target-ID between

1 and 39.
To eliminate all ferrous objects from detection, set DISC = 39.

OTHER  FEATURES

PINPOINTING

Accurate pinpointing takes practice and is best ac com plished by  “X-ing”
the target area.

1

Once a buried target is identified by a good tone re sponse, continue

sweep ing 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” occurs

as you move the coil slowly from side to side.

3

Stop the coil directly over this spot on the ground.

4

Now move the coil straight for ward and straight back towards you a

couple of times.

5

Again make visual note of the spot on the ground at which the “beep”

occurs.

6

If needed, “X” the target at different angles to “zero in” on the exact

spot on the ground at which the “beep” occurs.

REMEMBER:

The detector will beep just as the center of the searchcoil

passes directly over the buried object.

If  you  have  difficulty  pinpointing  very  strong  sig nals,  try  lifting  the  coil

higher off the ground until a weaker, but more concise, signal is heard.

For very weak signals, try moving the coil in short quick sweeps, closer to

the ground.

Consider Purchasing a Pinpointer

When you kneel down to unearth an object, you may find it frustrating as the

object can appear exactly like the surrounding soil.  You may hold the object

in your hand, and find it necessary to pass a handful of dirt over the searchcoil

to see if it contains metal.  An easier way is to use a handheld pinpointer. It is

a  probe-like  device  which  is  poked  into  the  ground,  making  close  up

pinpointing a snap, reducing digging time, and minimizing the size of the holes

you will dig.  Teknetics

®

offers a robust and inexpensive pinpointer designed
