released  and  the  unit  will  enter the  standard  search  mode.  The  current  program 

will be program 

№1

. And the ground balance reference point will be(

0

).  

 

ATTENTION!

 The parameters for the coils are not reset and will be retained during a 

factory reset 

 

The factory program №1-

This program has the sensitivity set low which gives it 

stable response to the ground and economic battery life (low coil current). It is intended 

when searching for large or shallow objects. The discriminator is set to reject most 

undesirable targets. The included filters suppress most of the unwanted signals.  

The factory program №2

- This program has sensitivity set a bit higher than Prog. 

1. Again this program is most useful in detecting medium to large targets and those targets 
at shallow to medium depths as well as detecting in areas littered with trash.  

 

The factory program №3- 

This program has

 

  higher sensitivity levels and is 

intended for searching smaller objects that are deeper. In most cases it provides very 

good depth while retaining a good quality of search. The coil current is set to TURBO 

therefore power consumption is higher than in the first two programs.  

 

The factory program №4

- This program has

 

high levels of sensitivity

 

and is 

intended to search for deeply buried targets in areas with minimal levels of trash. In this 

program it is important to slow the sweep speed and maintain a constant distance from the 

ground without deviations. Also in this program the coil current is set to TURBO.  

 

In program

 №1

 the

 

discriminator is for maximum rejection of unwanted targets. 

Targets  typically  rejected  include  small  ferrous  objects,  small  pieces  of  foil  and 

aluminum wire. Typical targets that are accepted would be objects made from copper, silver 

larger pieces of aluminum as well as other similar objects. This program may reject targets 

that  are  desirable  to  you  such  as  small  gold  or  jewelry  as  well  as  some  small  hammered 

coins.  

In program 

2-4 

The

 

discriminator is set to reject small ferrous targets. 

Remember that these programs are intended as a starting point to allow the user to become 

acquainted with the device. For maximum efficiency of the detector the user will need to 

adapt the programs to their search conditions.  

 
Remember when adjusting any of the programs to try and have an understanding of 

what  the  parameter  is  and  how  it  will  affect  the  detector  in  the  field.  Just  because  an 
increased setting will result in improved air tests does not mean this will necessarily happen 
under actual detecting conditions.  

 RECOMMENDATION!

 At first power up factory programs will be installed.  

 

REPLACING THE SEARCH COIL  

 

If your detector is  supplied with  two  or more  search  coils, configured  to work 

with your device, in order to replace them perform the following. 

 
1. Turn off the detector.
