Error signals
During development of GOLD ID-XL particular emphasis was laid on stability and the
avoidance of malfunctions. Despite the high number of filters and modulators it may
occur, that certain soil conditions cause disturbances, which can influence your
measured values.
Apart from a wrong soil balance adjustment incorrect signals can emerge by the
following effects:
1.
Ferric oxide: Through magnetic ferric oxide soils the conductance value of the located
metal can comprehend falsified data.
2. Anomaly effects can lead to the fact that large iron metals are indicated as precious
metal.
3. Small parts of bronce partially may be indicated as iron. The accuracy of the measured
values is therefore only ensured starting from an object of 5 x 5 cm in dimension.
4. The measured values can be falsified, because other metal parts are located near the
found metal object.
5. Strongly magnetic interference fields within residential areas and in the vicinity of ground
cables can influence the measured values, especially when working with the large
searchcoil.
6. Disturbances often occur in the peripherals of radio stations.
7. Strongly magnetic fields, particularly in the neighbourhood of high voltage masts, can
cause disfunctions.
