SHADOWx2
OPERATOR INSTRUCTION MANUAL
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The
SHADOWx2
is one of the first of its kind: an ultra-lightweight, compact
detector that packs the power and performance of a full-sized, heavier detector. By
simplifying features and complicated adjustments that cause a loss of performance
when used improperly, Troy Custom Detectors has created an easy to operate,
grab-and-go detector that's perfect for hobby, sport and travel.
The
SHADOWX2
is a Transmitter-Receiver (TR) type detector that operates in
the Very Low Frequency (VLF) portion of the Radio Frequency (RF) spectrum.
The detector uses only two control knobs and two push-buttons to provide full
VLF capabilities.
The performance of the
SHADOWX2
will satisfy the requirements of the serious
detectorist, whether experienced or a beginner. The
SHADOWx2
uses the latest
Surface Mount Technology to create one of the most unique Printed Circuit
Boards in the industry. This circuit board helps provide greater depth and more
sensitivity to smaller, less conductive metal objects or "targets" such as fine gold
jewelry.
The
SHADOWX2
has features that make its power easy to use. The factory preset
ground rejection circuitry allows "turn-on-and-go" operation in virtually any
ground mineralization.* The Discriminate Mode is Silent Search, meaning the
searchcoil must be moving to detect a target. The QuickCheck Pinpointing makes
it simple to identify the exact location of the target.
The electronic miniaturization of Surface Mount Technology permits the complex,
powerful circuitry of the detectors to fit into a very small space. The result is a
detector that is so incredibly light there is no need to body mount the control
housing. This exclusive design feature adds to the
SHADOWx2's
ease of use and
makes those longer searches more enjoyable.
The
SHADOWX2
comes with a 7" round concentric searchcoil for best all-around
performance with good depth. A variety of optional searchcoils are also available
and will enhance the detector's performance under various conditions.

*Operation may be more difficult in black sand or certain other extreme ground conditions.
