Page 6: Introduction
INTRODUCTION What is the hodograph and why is it so important? The received signal is characterized not only by its amplitude and phase, but it is also a vector quantity. Amplitude and phase depend on the electro physical parameters of objects such as conductivity, magnetic permeability, depth, geometry, etc. -

If, after carrying out the ground balance procedure, the value of БГ differs greatly from zero this may can cause an incorrect installation of the phase parameter of the coil. To reset this value to zero simply press the button. - Page 17 COIL CURRENT (CC) [1- 2] Sets the level of current supplied to the coil. At A setting of 2 (TURBO) maximum current is applied to the coil. Maximum depth ability is achieved however operating time is decreased due to increased battery usage.

as stability of the VDI will worsen. At increased settings depth of target ID will be reduced but VDI reliability and stability will increase. At a setting of 0 the device will identify a target immediately but on deep or weak targets the probability of error greatly increases. - Page 19 THE AUDIO MENU Audio Pag1 Volume: Equalizer: Volume S.S.: Keys sound: Border Fe: Num. of tones: Fig. 19 Audio Pag2 Sound freq: Length fe: Short Overload vol: Sm signal vol: Thresh volume: Fig. 20 Under the Audio Menu section are available the following parameters for adjustment: VOLUME[0-10] Sets the overall audio level of the detector.

- Page 21 VALUE 10F, indication of small ferromagnetic objects is identical to the previous mode. However the sector of nonferrous metals is broken into 9 separate sectors with a division of 10 units ( VDI). The higher the VDI the higher the tone generated. The variability of the frequency of the tones is set under the parameter Frequency of Sound.

Page 22: Display Menu
DISPLAY MENU DISPLAY Backlight lev: Backlight: Visual disc: Accumulation: Screen scale: Fig. 22 Under the Menu DISPLAY the following parameters are available: BACKLIGHT LEVEL [1- 5] Allows the user to set the level of backlight illumination. Backlight is always set to off upon startup. The user can turn backlight on by accessing the menu or by setting the Fn hot key to turn on and off backlight. - Page 23 In the majority of the situations a normal perception of signals can be attained by setting this value to 2. When the metal detector is in mode VDI the scale of screen is established automatically such that hodographs always fit within the screen. At the lowest value of 1 small signals are amplified to maximum and large targets are slightly compressed.
- Page 24 BIG FILTER [Off/1-9] (filtering of large objects) The purpose of this filter is to eliminate an audio response from larger objects based upon their size. When set to OFF this filter is disabled. When this filter is turned on the software estimates the size of the target.If the size is LARGER than the selected value the audio response is eliminated.

THE COIL MENU COILS Coil: D6x10-14 Editor Fig. 28 In the menu COILS the following parameters are available: COILS-Defines the coil currently installed on the device. The type of coil needs to exactly match the currently installed coil (size and frequency). More detailed description of this procedure is outlined in the section on replacing search coils. -
Page 29: Dynamic And Static Operating Modes
More in detail about adjustment of gauges it is described in section the Built in program of adjustment of gauges on p. 38. DYNAMIC AND STATIC OPERATING MODES Dynamic mode is the main mode of operation of the detector. It is characterized in that the processor constantly adjusts to relatively slow changes in ground conditions. -
Page 30: Discrimination Mode Of Search
DISCRIMINATION MODE OF SEARCH Discrimination- The ability of the detector to react to certain types of objects while ignoring others. In certain cases this is useful to improve the comfort of the search. Turning on or off discriminate is performed by pressing the button [AM/DISC]. When discrimination mode is enabled [D], briefly pressing the [AM/DISC] button the discrimination MAP will appear. -
Page 31: The Discrimination Map
In this mode the display will show the VDI graph and above it the individually selected VDI number. Next to the VDI number will be a box that will indicate whether this specific number will be accepted or rejected (discriminated). An empty box indicates this VDI number has not been included ( rejected) and will be discriminated. -
Page 32: Sector For The Special Signal
Note that within the internal memory there are stored preprogrammed discrimination maps to assist in quickly setting up the map. Choices are – Clear all, Set all, Coins, Only Ferrous, Only non ferrous. To choose one of these preset maps you must first be in the map menu then press the button [AM/DISC]. -
Page 33: Overload Mode
To quickly set the special signal to a certain class of objects you may use the fast teach mode. Insure that teach mode is set to on. Insure device is in discriminate mode (D). Scan the desired target insuring an accurate and repeatable VDI. To include the scanned target in the special signal press the button. -

released and the unit will enter the standard search mode. The current program will be program №1. And the ground balance reference point will be(0). ATTENTION! The parameters for the coils are not reset and will be retained during a factory reset The factory program №1-This program has the sensitivity set low which gives it stable response to the ground and economic battery life (low coil current). -

PROGRAM ADJUSTMENT OF COILS Your Berkut 5 is preconfigured to work with the coils manufactured by AKA LLC. There are a couple ways to configure the coils to work with your device by using built in... - Page 37 ADJUSTING THE NEW COIL TO THE CURRENT PROFILE If, while in use, it was necessary to make repeated adjustments to the coil, or you do not wish to use different profiles for different coils, and prefer to make adjustment at each switching of gauges (similar to some of our other models), take advantage of a mode of adjustment of the new coil under the current profile.
- Page 38 If you are using the inclusion menu then after choosing the corresponding profile press [+] After automatic adjustment of the frequency and ORT, the device will switch to the Ground Balance mode. Perform the Ground Balance procedure on pure ground, ferrite or a piece of red brick. If the GB value differs from zero significantly then press the button [ ] to zero.

Page 39: Scanning Techniques
SCANNING TECHNIQUES It is important to have good sweep or scanning techniques. Try to keep the coil 3-4 cm off of the ground moving the coil smoothly and evenly above the surface of the ground. Try not to make any sharp or jerking movements of the coil. The most important factor is the correct choice sweep speed. - Page 40 COUNCILS ABOUT IDENTIFICATION OF TYPES OF OBJECTS In the course of detecting you will notice those objects that are located close to the coil can complicate the ability of the detector to ID these properly either with audio or visual indications.
- Page 41 There are times, when searching in discrimination, that a target may be present in one direction but not the other. In this case it is suggested to use the “all metals” mode. This will often time help in locating these targets that may appear in direction and disappear in another.
