BASIC OPERATION

The RIGHT SIDE of the display classifies objects into three categories.
Silver/Copper: ------------------------------------------
Objects composed of silver and
cooper will illuminate this arrow.
Buried and heavily oxidized metal
objects, such as old tin cans, can
also fall into this category. Larger
aluminum objects, like beverage
cans, will sometimes fall into this
category.
Mid-Range: ------------------------------------------------
Mid-range objects cover a large
variety of metals.
Among them are: pull-tabs from
beverage containers, nickels,
medium-sized gold objects, some
types of aluminum, and zinc.
Iron: -------------------------------------------------------------
All ferrous objects, and some
smaller aluminum objects, fall into
the iron category. Small gold
objects can also fall into this range.
The BOTTOM RIGHT SIDE of the
display will illuminate a Low Battery
Indicator symbol if the batteries are
discharged. The indicator illuminates,
and remains illuminated, when the
9-volt batteries have discharged to a
level of 7.35 volts.
Reading the Display IN THE FIELD
With the detector in use in the field, the display will indicate both the DEPTH
and the TARGET IDENTIFICATION of each object detected. After a target is
detected, these indicators will remain illuminated with this information until
the next target has been detected. If uncertain about the target’s
identification, try sweeping the coil at a faster speed. A more rapid sweep
over a target will generally provide a more accurate target identification.
The MODE CONTROL
The MODE touchpad allows for the elimination from detection of
unwanted metal objects.
By pressing MODE, the user toggles among four different discrimination
settings.
During MODE (or discrimination) selection, the SENSITIVITY INDICATOR
on the left of the display will flash continually. The detector will remain
in this discrimination selection mode for 10 seconds until a metal object
has been detected.
If an object is detected during mode selection, the detector will
exit mode selection. If this happens, you will need to press
MODE again and begin mode selection over again. To avoid this,
keep the detector stationary and reduce sensitivity before
pressing MODE.
The MODE touchpad has two functions:
Each first press of MODE will be followed by.
●
1
A distinctive tone or tones, indication the detector’s stored
discriminating setting.
HIGH TONE - no object eliminated.
LOW TONE - iron eliminated.
MEDIUM TONE - mid-range metals eliminated.
LOW & MEDIUM TONE - irons and mid-range metals
both eliminated.
●
2
Flashing target and sensitivity indicators. The flashing target
indicators point to the targets eliminated.
Each
subsequent
press of MODE will toggle between discrimination settings.
The flashing arrow indicates the target category eliminated.
The detector will store the current discrimination setting until the power
is turned off.
