CONTROL PANEL

4

The ID EDgE control panel is an all new digital I/O System.  The LCD 

Display provides you with a constant control readout showing you 

all of your current settings. 

1.

 The ON/OFF button turns the unit ON and OFF. One of the first 

things you will notice when you turn on your ID Excel is the battery 

level display. Fresh batteries will show 9 volts; when the battery 

level is down to 6 volts, you have about an hour of battery life 

left. The detector will not turn on if the search coil is not properly 

connected. This can prove to be a timesaving  safeguard. To turn 

the unit OFF, push and hold the ON/OFF button.

2. The MENU button enables you to enter the “menu mode,” in 

which you can adjust the discrimination, volume and sensitivity 

controls with the UP/DOWN arrow buttons. Notice that when the 

MENU button is pushed, the active control blinks — this is the control 

that can be adjusted with the UP or DOWN arrow buttons.  To 

move to the next control, just press the MENU button again.  When 

you have all your settings completed, press the Pinpoint button to 

return to the search mode. 

A. The DISCRIMINATION  control can be varied from a setting 

of -36 to +22  with the arrow buttons when the DISC  icon is 

flashing
