SENS (2 symbols). The level of SENS is on 6 .
Setting the Operation Mode
Press MODE touch-pad to switch in 3 operation modes with sequence
as (DISC—ALL METAL—NOTCH—DISC), and select one mode.
Disc Mode
Used for target discrimination. Press MODE, enter DISC mode (DISC
symbol lights). Press SET to convert from SENS to DISC/NOTCH, then
press and hold “+” to increase the metal icons on LCD (also named the
range of discrimination), press and hold “-” to decrease the range of
discrimination. The metal icons are displayed on top of the LCD from left
to right; Nails and Foil, .05¢ coin, Pull Tab, S-caps, .01¢ coin and
0.25¢ coin.
All Metal Mode
Used for detecting any type of metal. Press MODE to get ALL METAL
mode. LCD displays ALL METAL at the left lower part of the screen. The
discrimination adjustment is not available in this mode.
Begin with the GND BAL knob set in position of P Region, press the
GND TRAC and release to stabilize the unit. It’s recommended the GND
TRAC to be pressed 2-3 times every time you enter the ALL METAL
mode. The unit is operating in non-motion detecting in ALL
METAL mode.
Anytime the GND BAL adjusted, the GND TRAC must be pressed
afterwards.
The detector will sound and the ellipse icons will display in the middle of
LCD screen when detecting a metal object. The ellipse icons here are
just reference levels indicating the estimated depth of the metal
object or the signal strength.
Notch Mode
To ignore the metal type you do not want. Press MODE to enter NOTCH
mode (NOTCH symbol lights). Press SET to light the DISC/NOTCH
symbol. Press “+”, the target indication arrow will start to blink at
this time. Press ACC/REJ to accept or reject the certain metal type, the
metal icon will light or extinguish to indicate if this type of metal is
selected or rejected. Go on pressing “+”, the blinking arrow will move to
right side (the next metal icon). By pressing “-” , the blinking arrow will
move to the left side (a new metal icon). Repeat above steps to select
or notch the items until you reach the desired setting.
Sens Adjustment in Disc & Notch Mode
Press SET until SENS symbol at the left upper part of the screen lights.
Press “+” or “-” to increase or decrease the sensitivity. Be careful to not
set SENS too high or it will lead to the wrong readings or false signals.
To reach the max detection depth, always set SENS as high
as possible.
Ground Balance
It is used to offset the effects of any minerals present in the soil or to balance the
effects of saltwater in ALL METAL mode.
1. Begin with the GND BAL adjusted to P Region and lift the search-coil
about waist high in the air. Press GND TRAC several times to let the
unit stabilize before starting an effective detection.
2. Lower the search-coil to about one inch above the ground and lift the
search- coil again about waist high in the air. If a tone is not emitted, it
means the preset position is the proper ground balance for that
area. If a tone is being emitted, readjust the GND BAL.
3. Lift the search coil in the air, turn the GND BAL counterclockwise
slightly. Press GND TRAC several times. Then repeat step 2. If the
unit still emits tone, repeat the procedure until the unit does not
emit tone.
Note
1. Always be careful that there’s no metal on top of or under the ground
where you conduct ground balancing.
2. When adjusting GND BAL counterclockwise, be careful to turn it in
small increments to ensure that you can achieve the optimum state
for operation. If you over-rotate the knob counterclockwise, you can
rotate it back clockwise in the same ground balancing procedure until
a tone is emitted and then cut it back counterclockwise slightly until
the tone is no longer emitted.
3. Anytime the GND BAL control is adjusted, the GND TRAC touch pad
must be pressed afterwards.
