Factors That Affect the Detecting
It is difficult to have an accurate detecting result. Sometimes the detecting may be
restricted by some factors.
•
The angle of the target buried in the soil.
•
The depth of the target.
•
The level of oxidization of the target.
•
The size of the target.
•
Electro-magnetic and electrical interference surrounding the target.
In area of highly mineralized ground or wet sand, the detector will sound even uf there
is no metal. In this case, you can lower the sensitivity or increase the DISC number.
Meantime enhance the distance between the search coil and the ground.
In area with trashy metal, you can set DISC numeric value to 50. In this case most nails
and small pieces of iron will be eliminated.
Metallic digging tolls will also affect the detection of they are near the search coil. So it is
better place them a little far away.
Care and maintenance
Your metal detector is an example of superior design and Craftsmanship. The following
suggestions will help you care for your metal detector so you can enjoy it for years.
Handle the detector gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage
circuit boards and cases and can cause the detector to work
improperly.
Use the detector only in normal temperature environments.
Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices
damage the cases of the detector.
Wipe the detector with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking
new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong
detergents to clean the detector.
Keep the detector away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature
wear of parts.
