An elec tronic anal y sis of the

fields made it pos si ble to pro -
vide the PULSE STAR II PRO
with a metal dis crim i na tion.
Since the sig nals that have to
be an a lyzed are even smaller
than the nor mal de tec tion sig -
nals, the dis crim i na tion range
is lim ited to about 60 to 80 %
of the nor mal de tec tion range.
The dis crim i na tion can only
func tion with ob jects of a min i -
mum size of about 10 cm (4
inches) in di am e ter. The in flu -

ob ject, so again a fer rous metal will probably be in di cated for the group
of smaller objects. Ad di tion ally, the con duc tiv ity of some non-fer rous
met als, like lead or tin, as well as of some al loys is even lower than that
of iron, so that they may be clas si fied as fer rous ob jects. How ever, for
