If you do not set any value using the knobs, the GND BAL value will always be displayed in the lower
right corner.
GND BAL is an internal setting for soil composition and is shown in the lower right corner of the
display. The original value is 82.9 which is the best starting point.
After performing GROUND GRAB, the GND BAL value changes according to the soil composition.
You can also set the GROUND BAL using the + and - buttons. See the SOIL COMPOSITION chapter
for more information. Experienced users prefer to set GND BAL to a value where they receive only a
weak steady signal and thus be able to better distinguish a possible item. Adjust the value above with
the + button.
TARGET SCALE
The arc scale at the top of the display classifies metal objects. Each time an object is detected, the
scale indicators light up. The segments will be displayed for 3 seconds. Identification shows the
probable composition of the object. For more information, read the METAL IDENTIFICATION chapter.
The obejct is identified by an ID number. If you find an object in ALL METAL mode, we recommend
switching to DISCRIMINATION mode for more accurate identification using a two-digit ID number.
CONTROL IN DISCRIMINATION MODE
This mode is used to eliminate objects that are not the target of the findings, such as nails, foils, and
other scrap metal. The coil must be in motion for detection. DISCRIMINATION mode is less sensitive
to small objects or objects that are deeper.
GROUND GRAB (GG)
This function cannot be set in DISCRIMINATION mode. To set GG, you must switch the detector to
ALL METAL mode. The settings are also transferred to DISCRIMINATION mode.
SETTINGS
During setup, the values in the lower right corner of the screen change.
GAIN
If you are a beginner, start with a lower value so that you do not hear any sounds as the coil moves.
Set the knob position to 12:00 or less.
In this mode, GAIN sets the sensitivity. The higher the value, the deeper hidden objects can be found
and the more the detector responds to small objects.
MODE
This knob is not used in this mode. Turn the knob counterclockwise as far as it will go. Turn the knob
to change the mode from DISCRIMINATION to ALL METAL.
DISC
Use the + and - buttons to adjust the DISC value to eliminate unwanted metal objects. Using the
buttons changes the value by 1, holding it increases the values faster. A higher value eliminates
unwanted metals, a lower value includes more metals.
See the METAL IDENTIFICATION chapter for more information.
UNWANTED SOUND NOTIFICATIONS
This device is very sensitive, unwanted notifications can be caused by electromagnetic interferences
caused by electrical devices.
COIL MOVEMENT
Move the coil parallel to the ground and in one level. Avoid lifting the coil while searching for objects.
PINPOINT
Press and hold the PINPOINT button to narrow the area of the found object. PINPOINT is a detection
mode that does not need a moving coil.
