6. Error signals
During development of GOLD ID-XL special emphasis was laid on stability and the
avoidance of malfunctions. Despite the high number of filters and modulators it cannot
be ruled out that certain soil conditions cause disturbances, which could influence the
measured values.
Apart from a wrong soil balance adjustment incorrect signals can emerge by the
following effects:
1. Abnormal effects (e.g. magnetic ferric oxide soils) may cause, that large iron metal parts
are indicated as precious metal. Therefore the conductance value of the located metal can
be falsified.
2. Adverse conditions can lead to wrong indications so that large iron objects may be
shown as precious metal.
3. Small parts of bronce partially could be specified as iron. The accuracy of measured
values therefore is only ensured starting from an object of 5 x 5 cm in dimension.
4. The measured values can be falsified, because other metal parts are detected near the
located metal object.
5. Strongly magnetic interference fields within residential areas and in the vicinity of ground
cables can influence the measured values, especially when working with the large
searchcoil.
6. Disturbances often occur in the peripherals of radio stations.
7. Strongly magnetic fields, particularly in the neighbourhood of high voltage masts, can
cause disfunctions.
