The 

ATS

 control affects all modes; a setting of 8 is recommended, especially in 

salt-surf environments.

NOTE: 

If the coil is swept exceptionally slowly, a faster retune speed can 

substantially reduce depth. For the deepest results, use a slow retune speed and 
sweep slowly.

Reject Control

The 

Reject 

control determines the amount of iron rejection. It applies to 

Tone

Mute

and 

Volcanic 

modes. A high 

Reject 

level also rejects highly conductive targets like 

larger silver coins; on rare occasions, large gold items (such as a large heavy ring) can 
fall in this range. 

Reject 

should be used only when there is an abundance of iron.

Reject 

is best adjusted using an example target you want to reject. A sample iron nail 

is included with the Impulse AQ Limited.

1.

 Choose 

Tone

,

 Mute 

or 

Volcanic Sand 

mode.

2.

  Set the

 Reject 

control to 0 and the 

ATS 

to 8.

3.

  Put the reference iron target on the ground in horizontal position.

4.  Swing the coil over the target at a height of around 4 inches while slowly 

increasing the 

Reject 

control.

5.

  Stop when the nail responds as follows:

a. In 

Tone

 mode, the iron response is mostly low tone with some minor 

high tone mixed in.

b. In 

Mute 

mode, the iron response is mostly silent with some minor high 

tone breaking through.

c. In 

Volcanic Sand 

mode, the iron response is fully silent which is 

necessary to reject volcanic ground.

6.

  Optionally, test a US nickel to verify that it gives a high tone.

When setting up iron rejection, both the 

ATS 

and 

Reject 

controls affect each other so 

should be adjusted in coordination with one another to achieve the desired rejection 
responses. It is highly recommended that iron rejection is set up in the field using test 
targets.
