SENSITIVITY ADJUSTMENT
Upon power-up, the detector defaults to 3/4 sensitivity. To increse to full
sensitivity, press the Sensitivity ▲ touch pad.
ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE
The principle use for the Sensitivity Control is to eliminate Electromagnetic
Interference (EMI).
A hobby metal detector is an extremely sensitive device; the search coil creates
its own magnetic field and acts like an antenna. If your detector beeps
erratically when the search coil is motionless, the unit is probably detecting
another magnetic field.
Common sources of EMI are electric power lines, both suspended and buried,
motors, and household appliances like computers and microwave ovens.
Some indoor electronic devices, such as dimmer switches used on household
lighting, produce severe EMI and will cause the detector to beep erratically.
Other metal detectors also produce their own electromagnetic fields, so if
detecting with a friend, keep two metal detectors at least 20 feet apart.
If the detector beeps erratically, REDUCE THE SENSITIVITY by pressing the
Down-Sensitivity Arrow ▼ on the left of the control panel.
SEVERE GROUND CONDITIONS
A secondary use for the Sensitivity Control is to reduce false detection signals
caused by severe ground conditions. While your Titan 1000 XD contains
circuitry to eliminate the signals caused by most naturally occurring ground
minerals, 100% of all ground conditions cannot be anticipated.
magnetic soils found in mountainous and gold-prospecting locations can cause
the detector to emit tones when metal objects are not present. High saline
content soils and sands can also cause the detector to false.
If the detector emits false, non-repeatable, signals, REDUCE THE SENSITIVITY.
MULTIPLE TARGETS
If you suspect the presence of
deeper targets beneath a
shallower target, reduce
the sensitivity to eliminate
the detection of the deeper
targets,
in
order
properly locate and identify
the shallower target.
