Basic Operation - Titan 3000XD Owner's Manual

BASIC OPERATION

POWERING UP
Press the POWER touch pad.
• The detector will beep
4 times.
• All display segments will
illuminate momentarily.
• The SENSITIVITY and
BATTERY indicators will
stay illuminated.
MOTION and NO-MOTION MODES
Depending on the operation mode selected, the Titan 3000 XD detects metal
both with the coil in motion, or with the coil motionless. In the PINPOINT
mode of operation, metal is detected with the coil motionless over the
ground. This no-motion operation helps to locate the exact location of buried
objects, and is very useful in understanding the size and shape of buried
metal objects. The PINPOINT mode offers deeper ground penetration, but
cannot classify targets, nor indicate their depth.
The other operating modes require the coil to be in motion to detect a target.
When in the DISCRIMINATION, ALL-METAL or NOTCH modes, the coil
must be in continuous motion. It is often useful to search for targets in a
motion mode, and when identified, pinpoint their location with the PINPOINT
control.
SENSITIVITY
At its default sensitivity setting, the detector will detect a coin-sized object,
such as a quarter, buried approximately seven inches deep. To change the
sensitivity level, and thus the detection depth, press the SENSITIVITY ▲ or
▼ keys. The 6-segment scale at the left of the display, above "coin depth",
indicates the sensitivity level when these touch pads are depressed.
CAUTION:
At higher sensitivity levels, the detector is susceptible to electromagnetic
interference from electronic devices. Reduce sensitivity if demonstrating
indoors or if using near power lines or electrical equipment. Reduce
sensitivity if detector emits false signals.
