GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The Nexus Standard SE is an Analogue Induction Balance (IB) metal 
detector that operates in the very low frequency (VLF) range and it is 
designed for use on in land sites and salt water beaches. 
It may be used in either of the following basic modes of operation; for In 
Land mode - All-Metal, Discriminate, Voltage Controlled Oscillator or 
combination between them; for salt water Beach Mode - All-Metal, 
Discriminate, Voltage Controlled Oscillator or combination between them.

The Nexus Standard SE is designed to be a general-purpose metal 
detector, capable of finding both small and large targets at extreme depths. 
However if used with any of the accessory search coils available from the 
SE range the Nexus Standard SE will be one of the most versatile metal 
detectors available on the market.

The standard coil supplied is the dual 9” SE Standard and this is ideal for 
most searching operations. The mentioned above SE range of accessory 
search coils is available for optimum performance when searching for the 
tiniest targets in difficult conditions or performing a general field survey. All 
of the coils are capable of finding the largest and smallest of targets. 

To obtain the best results with the Nexus Standard SE, as with all metal 
detectors, it is essential to understand the settings and operation of the 
detector. Some experience in metal detecting will be beneficial. Users may 
need to practice and experiment in order to obtain the best possible results 
on any particular site. All sites and soils are different and settings that will 
give good results on one site may be less successful if used elsewhere. 
The Nexus Standard SE is designed to detect the very deepest of targets
and operates near to the limits of what is achievable with induction balance. 

Each Nexus Standard SE is hand-built so that there may be minor cosmetic 
differences between individual units. Each search coil is tuned to a slightly 
different frequency within the design range, to minimize interference from 
other Nexus detectors. Performance values for all Nexus Standard SE 
detectors will be identical.
