If  the  metal  detector  detects  ferrous  material,  it  will  emit  a  warning  sound,  the  needle  will 
move to the left and the analogue display will light up red. 
If  the  metal  detector  detects  non-ferrous material,  it  will  emit  a  warning  sound,  the  needle 
will move to the left and the analogue display will light up blue. 
Generally  the  closer  the  coil  is  to  the  object  detected,  the  further  the  needle  will  move 

towards the left or right extreme of the scale. 
If the metal detector does not detect the object, check the battery  is working properly and 

make sure the coil is properly connected to the control unit. 

5.3.2

 

Testing and outdoor use 

1.

 

Find an area of land outside where there are no metals. 

2.

 

Place an object of the same type of material that you want to find in the ground. Mark 

the position where the object is placed to prevent losing sight of it, if it is placed in tall 

grass or not easily visible. 

3.

 

Turn the volume of the instrument up to 2/3 of its maximum power. 

4.

 

Carried out the resetting of the instrument. 

5.

 

Keeping the search coil parallel to the ground at a 

distance of about 25 - 50 mm, slowly move it with 

lateral displacements over the area where the test 
object is positioned. 

6.

 

If  you  want  to  look  for  other  metallic  materials  in 

an  area  where  an  object  has  already  been 
identified, it will be necessary to re-press the AUTO 

TUNE  button  to  make  the  needle  return  to  the  0 
position.

Operating tips 

 

 Do  not  use  the  instrument  as  if  it  were  a  pendulum.  Lifting 

and  not  keeping  the  search  coil  perfectly  parallel  to  the 
ground could lead to incorrect readings. 

 

Move the instrument slowly. Hurried use could lead to objects 

being missed which are otherwise detectable. 

 

Keep  the  coil  as  close  as  possible  to  the  ground.  The  higher 

the coil is held over the ground, the more difficult it will be to 
detect small objects. 

 

There  may  be  situations  in  which  the  instrument  can  emit 

false  signals.  These  can  be  caused  by  electrical  interference, 

large pieces of irregular metals or loose soil.
