FREQUENT PROBLEMS 

 

PROBLEM 

CAUSE 

SOLUTION 

The  metal  detector 

finds false positives 

The  coil  is  being  moved  too 

quickly or at the wrong angle. 

Move  the  coil  more  slowly  and 

parallel to the ground. 

The  metal  detector  might  have 
encountered  a  highly  oxidised 

object. 

Try to locate the object by moving 

the 

instrument 

in 

various 

directions. 

If 

the 

instrument 

reading 

changes 

every 

time 

depending  on  the  direction  of 
sampling,  the  object  is  most  likely 

very oxidized metal. 

The  metal  detector 
does  not  display  the 

correct  type  of  metal 
when  it  detects  an 

object 

There might be more than one metal object in the area that you are 

sweeping. 
The  object  may  be  a  type  of  metal  that  the  instrument  does  not 

recognise. 
If  the  object  is  very  oxidised  the  instrument  may  not  report  the 

correct type of metal.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE 

 

 

Keep the metal detector dry. If the instrument gets wet, dry it immediately 

with a soft cloth. Liquids might contain minerals that could corrode electronic 

circuits. 

 

Use  and  store  the  metal  detector  in  environments  with  a  normal 

temperature 
(+5°C  ÷  +40°C).  Extreme  temperatures  can  shorten  the  life  of  electronic 

devices, damage batteries, and deform or melt plastic parts. 

 

Keep the instrument away from dirt and dust that can cause premature wear 

of parts and components. 

 

Handle the metal detector with care. Dropping the device may damage the 

internal circuits and the structure causing malfunctions.
