ASSEMBLY

1

Position S-Rod upright.

2

Rotate the LOCKING COLLAR fully in the
counterclockwise direction.

3

Insert your finger inside the tube and make sure
the INTERNAL CAM LOCK is flush with the
inside of the tube.

4

Insert the MIDDLE STEM into the S-ROD,

with the SILVER BUTTON pointed upward.

5

Rotate the MIDDLE STEM until the SILVER
BUTTON locates in the hole.

6

Twist the LOCKING COLLAR fully in the
clockwise direction until it locks.

7

Repeat this process on the LOWER STEM.

8

Using the BOLT and KNURLED KNOB, attach
the SEARCHCOIL to the LOWER STEM.

9

Adjust the LOWER STEM to a length that lets you
maintain a comfortable upright posture, with your
arm relaxed at your side, and the SEARCHCOIL
parallel to the ground in front of you.

10

Wind the CABLE securely around the STEMS.

11

Insert the plug into the matching connector on
the back of the detector body.  Be sure that the
key-way and pins line up correctly.

12

Tighten both LOCKING COLLARS.

Note: Very tall users can purchase the optional Extended Lower Stem (TUBE5X), for extended reach.

Caution:

Forcing in MIDDLE STEM with CAM LOCK raised may form a burr on
camlock. If this happens, remove burr with knife to allow insertion.

IRON IDENTIFICATION

Variable Iron Identification & Discrimination
The Eurotek

®

allows the user not only to discriminate iron targets, but classifies

them by size and signal strength.  Ferrous objects will have a Target-ID between
1 and 39.

To eliminate all ferrous objects from detection, set DISC = 39.

OTHER FEATURES

PINPOINTING

Accurate pinpointing takes practice and is best accomplished by  “X-ing”
the target area.

1

Once a buried target is identified by a good tone response, continue
sweeping the coil over the target in a narrowing side to side pattern.

2

Take visual note of the place on the ground where the “beep” occurs
as you move the coil slowly from side to side.

3

Stop the coil directly over this spot on the ground.

4

Now move the coil straight forward and straight back towards you a
couple of times.

5

Again make visual note of the spot on the ground at which the “beep”
occurs.

6

If needed, “X” the target at different angles to “zero in” on the exact
spot on the ground at which the “beep” occurs.

REMEMBER:

The detector will beep just as the center of the searchcoil

passes directly over the buried object.
If you have difficulty pinpointing very strong signals, try lifting the coil
higher off the ground until a weaker, but more concise, signal is heard.
For very weak signals, try moving the coil in short quick sweeps, closer to
the ground.

Consider Purchasing a Pinpointer
When you kneel down to unearth an object, you may find it frustrating as the
object can appear exactly like the surrounding soil.  You may hold the object
in your hand, and find it necessary to pass a handful of dirt over the searchcoil
to see if it contains metal.  An easier way is to use a handheld pinpointer. It is
a probe-like device which is poked into the ground, making close up
pinpointing a snap, reducing digging time, and minimizing the size of the holes
you will dig.  Teknetics

®

offers a robust and inexpensive pinpointer designed

for this purpose.
