Operation
Testing and Using the Detector
The metal detector has two operation modes: ALL METAL & DISC. All metal is used
to find all kinds of metal targets. DISC is used to discriminate the metal type.
1. To set the operation mode to ALL METAL: turn DISC
knob counter clockwise to the end and turn SENS
knob to high position.
2. Then, hold the search coil parallel with the ground
about .5-2 inches/ 1-5 cm above the surface. Sweep
the search coil from side to side in an arc line of 2.75
inches/ 7 cm motion.
3. When the detector detects a buried target, it sounds a
tone. User can make a visual note of exact spot on
the ground where the detector beeps.
4. Stop the search coil directly over this point on the ground. Move the search coil
straight forward away from you and straight back towards you a couple of times.
5. Meantime slowly rotate the DISC control clockwise away from ALL METAL until
the unit does not sound or sounds short tone. You can identify what kind of metal
is REJECTED according to the setting position of DISC.
A reference for you to know what kind of metal is rejected depending on the DISC
setting.
Setting of DISC
Metal Rejected
Near 11:00
Iron
Near 12:00
Iron, Nickel coin(5¢), pull tab
Near 13:00
Iron, Nickel coin(5¢), pull tab, Zinc coin(1¢ 87 version)
Near 15:00
Iron, Nickel coin(5¢), pull tab, Zinc coin(1¢ 87 version),
Copper coin (1¢ 76 version)
For example, if you set up DISC knob to the position near 12:00, it means that metal
targets like Nickel coin, pull tab, or Iron should be eliminated. Therefore, when you
detect a buried target and the detector beeps, it may be the metal target of Zinc coin,
Copper Coin, or Silver.
When the DISC control is set to the clockwise end most of metal is rejected,
except silver (25¢,50¢ and $1).
Note: The above chart is for reference only. The actual result may be different by
each metal detector.
Search Coil Sweeping Hints
• Never sweep the search coil as if it were a pendulum. Raising the search coil while
sweeping or at the end of a sweep will cause false readings.
• Sweep slowly. Hurrying will cause you miss targets.
• It is better you sweep the search coil from side to side in an arc line of 3 inches
motion and keep the search coil parallel with the ground.
