Tone Break - Minelab EQUINOX 900 Instruction Manual

Tone Break (Advanced Setting)
This Advanced Setting allows you to move the
end position of each Tone Region�
A common use of the Tone Break setting is to
manually control the point at which ferrous tones occur�
A use-case example of this is coke; coke is an undesirable
non-ferrous 'pest' target that typically has a Target ID of 1�
By moving the ferrous tone end position up to 2, coke
is moved into ferrous range and will now give a ferrous
response� Note however that some low conductive targets
will now give the same response as a 'bad' ferrous target�
You can also adjust the end positions of other Tone Regions
to gain greater distinction between targets of varying
conductivity levels�
Target IDs –19 to 0 are set as ferrous by default for Park
and Beach Modes, and –19 to 4 for are set as ferrous by
default for Field Mode�
Tone Break adjustment is local; only the current Search
Mode Profile is affected by changes to this Advanced
Setting�
Tone Break is not available for Gold* Mode, or when
Target Tone is set to 1 Tone�
* EQUINOX 900 only

the Tone Break Advanced Setting�
(2 Seconds)
3. The Tone Region currently selected will be displayed on
the Frequency Display (e�g� t1)� The Target ID Display will
show the current value of the Tone Region end point,
(e�g� 0), and the corresponding Target ID segment will
flash slowly�
4. Use the Minus (–) and Plus (+) buttons to navigate to
the Target ID you wish to use as the end position� Each
press moves one segment in a clockwise/anticlockwise
direction�
5. To advance to adjusting the next Tone Region end
position (i�e� t2), press the Accept/Reject button�
