Accept/Reject - Minelab EQUINOX 600 Instruction Manual

Contents

Accept/Reject

You can create your own discrimination patterns to detect or ignore specific target types,
so you can dig more treasure and less trash.
Targets are represented by both a Target ID number and an
individual segment on the Discrimination Scale
Target ID segments can be turned on or off to either detect
(accept) or ignore (reject) targets. All Target IDs that are on will be
accepted and all Target IDs that are off will be rejected.
The combinations of accepted and rejected segments are referred
to as discrimination patterns.
The Discrimination Scale has a range from -9 to 40.
Discrimination patterns are local, only the active Detect Mode
Search Profile will be affected by changes to the pattern.
Creating a Discrimination Pattern
1. Use the Settings button to navigate to Accept/Reject in the
Settings Menu.
2. Navigate to the Target ID you wish to change, using the
Minus (–) and Plus (+) buttons. The Plus button will move one
segment in a clockwise direction with each press. The Minus
button will move one segment anti-clockwise with each press.
The current selected Target ID will flash slowly, and the
corresponding Target ID number will appear on the Target ID
Display.
3.
Press the Accept/Reject button to turn the Target ID on
or off. A Target ID will be detected if the Target ID
segment is on.
4. Continue to navigate around the Discrimination Scale, turning
Target IDs on or off with the Accept/Reject button until you
have created your discrimination pattern.
All-Metal
Turn All Metal on by pressing the All-Metal
button on the control panel.
This disables the current discrimination pattern so that
all metal objects will be detected.
Press the All-Metal button again to turn the
discrimination pattern back on.
All-Metal is off by default each time the detector is
turned on.
Accepting/Rejecting Detected Targets
(page 30).
A target can be rejected upon detection if the corresponding
Target ID is currently turned on in the discrimination pattern.
If a Target ID is currently accepted and a detection occurs, an audio
response will be heard, the Target ID segment will flash, and the
Target ID number will appear on the Target ID Display.
An accepted non-ferrous target with a
Target ID of 32 is detected. Segment 32 on
the Discrimination Scale will flash.
Targets with that Target ID will now be rejected, and will not be
heard.
The last rejected target can be instantly re-accepted by pressing
the Accept/Reject button again, as long as no other detection
occurs before doing so.
Accepting a rejected Target ID is not possible directly from the
Detect Screen. Rejected Target IDs must be re-accepted by
adjusting the discrimination pattern via the Accept/Reject Setting
in the Settings Menu.
