If you have troubles with the ground balance of your GM5+ (this usually happens on very
mineralized soils), you should first change the working frequency. This almost always
solves the problem. If not, decrease the Gain and the PowerBox values until you are able
to successfully ground balance your machine. Remember: the proper ground balance is
essential for the performance of every metal detector!
To chose between Auto and Manual ground balance options, press the ground balance
(GB) button on the bottom-left corner of the control panel and confirm your choice with
the ENTER button.
ATTENTION! Ground balance must be performed on a place free from metal objects!
Auto Ground Balance
To automatically adjust the ground balance, press the ground balance (GB) button on the
bottom-left corner of the control panel, then select the Auto option from the ground bal-
ance menu and confirm your choice with the ENTER button. A new screen will appear.
Now start to move the search coil up and down from around 5 to 30 cm (2—12”), this is
known as “pumping” the coil.
Look at the numbers - they change up or down. Continue to pump the coil until an AUTO
GND COMPLETE screen appears. You’re done!
Manual Ground Balance
The manual ground balance should be made while the detector is in bitonal discrimina-
tion mode - it is easier to balance while hearing low and high sounds.
To manually ground-balance your Golden mask 5, press the Ground balance (GB) button
on the bottom-left corner of the detector control panel, then select the Manual option by
pressing the - and + buttons and confirm your choice by pressing ENTER. A screen with
numbers will appear (the same as with Auto ground balance).
