ADVENTIS 2 is motion detector, which means that a target
detection can be carried out only when the search coil is moving.
When you detect an area, it is important to sweep with the head as
close as possible to the ground with wide movements, but not
making contact with the ground.
Keep the head parallel to the ground following the relief as much
as possible.
To pinpoint a target, use quick crossed sweeps,
with the coil over the target taking note of
where the strongest audio signal is received.
The exact location of the target is under the
centre line of the search coil from front to back
and can then be determined by ‘x ing’.
If you feel the performance of your detector is not at it’s best:
1.
The discrimination is too high,
Ö
Set it in D1 mode with the discrimination control set to
the equivalent of 2 o'clock or less.
2.
The ground rejection is too high,
Ö
Adjust GROUND control towards the equivalent of a 12
o'clock position or less if the ground doesn’t give false signals.
