Beach Mode
You can search without detecting unwanted targets in this mode by using the ID FILTER feature
as in the Two Tone mode. ID FILTER value is set to 10 as a default value. It is recommended to
modify this value according to the type of target.
It is the special mode of
RACER
developed for conductive grounds (wet sand beach, grounds
with alkali soil etc.). The feature of this mode is its ability to ignore iron and similar targets in this
group and to perform ground balance on any type of ground. While the device performs ground
balance in the range of 40-90 automatically in the other discrimination modes, the device
ground balances in the range of 0-90 in this mode. This enables easier ground balancing on
conductive grounds where normally ground balance cannot be performed at all or performed
with difficulty.
As in the Two Tone mode, the device produces a low tone for iron and for all other metals, it
produces a single tone which increases in pitch as the coil approaches the target.
Different than the other modes, the ID FILTER value is set to 40 as a default value in this mode in
order to ignore ferrous metals or ground noise.
Salt water and alkali grounds are significantly conductive due to high ionization and cause
effects similar to that of iron in detectors. These effects may make it impossible to search for
metals with a standard detector. Existence of iron elimination feature in a detector can improve
the situation but may not be sufficient.
RACER
’s Beach mode eliminates such effects and ground noise. Aspects to be taken into
consideration while searching on conductive grounds are explained in more detail in the section
titled Searching in Shallow Water and Beach (page 23).
