Page 7: Chargi Ng Systems And Batteri Es
The GREEN Battery Light on the top right side of the control box indi- cates battery condition. When this Green Battery Light glows brightly, the batteries have enough voltage to operate the Pulsescan TDI Pro properly. Once the green light no longer shines, stop using the Pulsecan TDI Pro... - Page 8 Continuing to use a battery “without the green light shining” can damage the Lithium Ion Battery. Typically the Lithium Ion battery will operate the Pulsescan TDI Pro approximately 8 hours per charge. Two battery chargers are supplied with the Pulsescan TDI Pro.
- Page 9 TDI Pro Owner’s Gui de 9 Do not cover the charger. Do not use the charger in an ambient temperature greater than 140 degrees Fahrenheit / 40 degrees Celsius. Charger and/or battery may get very warm during charging. This is normal.

ON/ OFF Gai n - What i t does The ON/OFF GAIN control turns the Pulsescan TDI Pro, ON (clockwise) and OFF (fully counterclockwise) and selects the range at which the de- tector will hear a given target.

Page 11: Volume
When operating the Pulsescan TDI Pro with a Threshold that is as smooth as possible, the clarity of a true target signal will not be confused or hid- den by false signals, chatter, or blanking of the Threshold, often the result of too high a Gain setting. -
Page 12: Threshold
Threshold level, and the overall loudness of a target response, can both be optimized to your hearing. When using headphones with separate built in volume controls, it may be best to leave the Pulsescan TDI Pro Volume control at maxi- mum, reducing the volume with the headphone volume control. - Page 13 TDI Pro Owner’s Gui de 13 THRESHOLD LEVELS ...

Low-con- ductive targets, like small-to-medium sized gold nuggets will make a high- tone sound. - Page 15 TDI Pro Owner’s Gui de 15 gets, very high content gold nuggets (not common), U.S. gold coins above 2.5 dollars, 24K gold bullion (e.g. Canadian Maple leaf), small to large nails when laying fl at in the ground and large pieces of iron, large pieces of lead, lead mini balls, lead musket balls, lead loom weights, bronze buckles, bronze weights, bronze artifacts, etc.

Page 18: Frequency
This interference is recognized by a warbling or pulsing of the audio threshold in a repetitive way, and can mask target signals. The Pulsescan TDI Pro has a frequen- cy range of 3.25 kHz to 3.37 kHz pulses per second. - Page 19 TDI Pro Owner’s Gui de 19 How to use i t PULSE DELAY is measured in microseconds (uS). 10 uS is the lowest setting, which samples as close as possible to end of the transmitter pulse. This setting gives the highest sensitivity to all objects regardless of conductivity.

COARSE major adjustments. They are only operative when the FINE control is set clockwise from the OFF position. When FINE GEB is in the OFF position, the Pulsescan TDI Pro reverts to a straight pulse induction detector which hears all metal targets with- out Variable Audio, has no TARGET CONDUCTIVITY option, and no COARSE or FINE manual ground balance control. - Page 21 This area of quiet, where you hear only the faint hum of the threshold, is where the Pulsescan TDI Pro is balanced to ignore the ground. You will have to turn the knobs very slowly in very small increments to reach the most exacting point for eliminating ground minerals.
- Page 22 COARSE GEB control, if the COARSE position makes no difference, there isn’t any change in the Threshold regardless of the COARSE control position, the Pulsescan TDI Pro can be operated as a standard pulse detector with no variable audio, by turning the FINE control fully counter clockwise to off. All targets will now sound the same.

You may then select the type of conductivity feature you wish to use. - Page 28 28 TDI Pro Owner’s Gui de The Variable Audio feature can be further interpreted by the tone which it produces when sweeping over a target. As the search coil passes over a detected target, the signal will get louder as it gets closer to the center of the search coil.

The best signal from all targets is obtained when using a short (10 uS) delay. - Page 30 30 TDI Pro Owner’s Gui de the target can be observed The Pulse Delay can be changed to optimize sensitivity to desired targets. After you have seen how the Delay affects the signal, you can try the same tests with the FINE GEB on (clockwise from OFF) and the Conductivity Toggle to all.
