Search coil Sweeping Hints:
•
Never sweep the search coil as if were a pendulum. Raising the search coil while
sweeping or at the end of a sweep will cause false readings.
CORRECT
WRONG
•
Sweep slowly, hurrying will cause you to miss targets.
•
It is better you sweep the search coil from side to side on an arc line of 3 inches
motion and keep the search coil parallel with the ground.
The detector can detect the metal type with blank frame below the target name. And an
arrow displays below the target if it is found. Meanwhile the detector rejects or does not
respond to other metal types with cross mark in the frame X displaying below the target
name.
When the detector finds any metal, it sounds a tone. A low tone is for iron, nail, bottle
caps. A medium tone is for 5 , 1 , 10 , some gold rings, aluminium pull tabs, zinc or
copper items. A high tone is for 25 , 50 , 1 or silver items.
If the detector does not detect the item, make sure that the target mode is set correctly
for the type of metal you are searching for. Also make sure that you are moving the
search coil correctly.
NOTES:
•
The detector responds with a signal when it detects valuable metal objects. If a
signal does not repeat after you sweep the search coil over the target a few times,
the target is probably junk metal.
•
False signals can be caused by trashy ground, electrical interference, or large
irregular piece or junk metal.
•
False signals are usually broken or non-repeatable.
