Titan 3000 XD
TARGET Readout
The table below list some common approximate target value
equivalents. With experience in the filed, you will recognize
many types of metals by their numeric value.
VALUE RANGE POSSIBLE OBJECTS
0-10 Iron
30-39 Nickel - Small/Med. gold rings
43-48 Pull-Tab - Some large gold rings
53-60 Screw Cap
62-74 Zinc, Penny
83-88 Wheat Cent
86-100 Dime
107-127 Quarter
105-120 Liberty Dollar
120-126 Franklin Half Dollar
134-150 Silver Dollar
150-199 Large Metal Object
DEPTH AND TARGET DISPLAY
(motion
modes only)
THREE DIGIT TARGET
INDICATOR
The three digit target indicator , in the middle of the LCD display ,
provides a specific target value to help identify buried targets more
accurately. With practice in the field, you will learn to associate target
values with the probable identification of buried objects. The target
value can vary each time the coil passes over the target, depending
upon the angle of the object and the distance from the coil. As a
starting point, refer to the table below.
BASIC OPERATION
(continued)
4
) Press
ITD
. An
"R"
appears under the segment to be eliminated.
5
) Pass the search coil over the same object again.
The undesirable object is eliminated from detection
The
ITD
control is easy to use in the field. As you are detecting, and encounter
an object which you wish to eliminate from detection, simply press the
ITD
touch pad after detecting the object.
The
ITD
control eliminates the most-recently detected object category from
detection. The category eliminated is indicated with an
"R"
.
PIN POINT MODE
Since long-buried objects can appear exactly like the surrounding soil, the
process of finding the exact location of a small object, such as a coin, can be
time-consuming and frustrating. Objects buried many inches deep present
an especially daunting challenge. In addition, during the unearthing process,
care must be taken not to damage valuable relics. The best solution to these
problems is the no-motion
PINPOINT mode
.
At any time during operation, press the
PINPOINT touch pad
, and the detector
enters the no-motion mode. In the
PINPOINT mode
, any object in the coil’s
detection field will induce a monotone hum. The location of a coin-sized object
can be discerned with pinpoint accuracy by narrowing the detection field as
described on page 21.
Be sure that the detector is properly
GROUND BALANCED
before using the
PINPOINT MODE
.
See page 19
for manual ground balancing instructions. Also,
consult
page 21
for proper no-motion field techniques.
The Target Identification and Target Depth
indicators
are disabled in this mode. To
discern the identification and depth of an
object, you must use one of the motion
modes of operation.
HEADPHONE JACK
Using headphones (not supplied) with your
metal detector makes it easier to identify
subtle changes in the threshold levels for
better detection results, and also reduces
drain on the batteries. The
Titan 3000 XD
Metal Detector has a stereo headphone
jack located at the rear of the case.
This device is to be used with interconnecting
cables/headphone cables shorter than three meters.
