4.2 Initial
Test
Every detector is shipped with test samples - small pieces of conveniently packaged
metal with which to test the detector. Before the detector is shipped, it is set up to
see these samples without false triggering (false triggering is when the detector
indicates that it has seen metal when none is present, and is due to electrical noise,
vibration, large product effect, etc.). This setup is stored on the detector under the
name "TEST SETUP".
With the detector switched on, check the bargraph to make sure that the machine is
not false triggering. If the detector starts to false trigger, consult the trouble-shooting
guide.
Pass the test samples through the aperture. The detector is least sensitive in the
centre of the aperture, so the best test is to pass the sample through the centre of
the aperture. When passing test samples, make sure that hands, rings, watches etc.
are kept away from the aperture. If the detector does not see the test samples
consult the trouble-shooting guide.
4.3 Product
Setup
The aim of this subsection is to get the metal detector to learn the characteristics of a
particular product. In order to do this, some product samples will be required. The
description of how to use the software is kept deliberately brief in this subsection, for
more detail see the next section in the manual: ‘Using the software’.
Press SELECT on the keypad, you should be asked to enter a security code. The
factory default setting for this is 2000, so enter the code and display should then
show:
TPRCSrEDoex
Do Sample Test
Press four times, then SELECT to choose setup product. Press SELECT again to
choose "New product", and then type in the product name. Use the and keys to
change the current letter, and when this is correct press SELECT to move to the next
letter. When the product name is finished, press SELECT again to accept it. The
display should now show:
Automatic
Manual
It is not recommended to do a manual set-up, this is primarily for testing by service
engineers.
Once the SELECT key is pressed to start the automatic setup, product will need to
be passed continuously until the setup is finished, otherwise the detector will be
unable to learn the product's signal correctly. While passing the product make sure
that no metal goes near the aperture, particularly watches, rings etc.
