After this process ends the « OK » message will appear followed by the main screen of ground balance (see picture below). RUTUS Alter71 ver. 2.0... - Page 6 15 m away from other detectors. Not following these guidelines will not damage the detector, but it will cause the detector to operate less accurately – a proper ground balance procedure will fix this quickly.

NOTE: The factory programs are optimised for ease of use. When beginning to use the detector we strongly recommend trying the detector with these factory programs without changing settings in the menu. This will help you to learn quicker how the detector operates. RUTUS Alter71 ver. 2.0... -

NOTE: To allow an intuitive approach for users of our previous products, and those of other manufacturers, Alter71 now has the option of choosing one of two types of identification scales. One has 120 points of ID and is the scale from 1 to 120. The second has 180 points of ID and is the scale from -90 to +90. -

Adjusting the Sensitivity level, Discrimination or access to the Notch function is done straight from the detector’s operating mode. The way to access the settings is described below. RUTUS Alter71 ver. 2.0... -
Page 10: Sensitivity
After pressing the button the screen returns to the operation mode screen. Sensitivity in the Alter71 detector may be adjusted across 90 levels. The Sensitivity level set by the user determines the detector's range and more importantly it's stable operation. In areas which are littered, freshly ploughed or have heavy electromagnetic interference, operating with maximum Sensitivity is not possible. -

The Engine page contains the following settings: Frequency Alter71 has another unique feature, it can be tuned across a very broad spectrum of frequencies. It is possibly the first entry level metal detector which may be tuned from 4.4 kHz to 18.4 kHz with steps of 0.2 kHz. -
Page 14: Reaction
For each value of the Reaction parameter there is a maximum level of the Masking parameter, above which the detector will fail to work correctly. The software detects this and will automatically (upon exiting the Menu) correct the Masking setting value if this occurs. RUTUS Alter71 ver. 2.0... -

All metal channel on the level of the Threshold is also higher. For Th Sens settings above 0 (if an Audio Gain is also set above 0), the detector switches to Dual mode. RUTUS Alter71 ver. 2.0... -

Wireless Alter71 has a built-in wireless digital data transmitter which can work on one of two available radio frequencies. The design of the digital connection was made especially for our detectors – therefore there is no lag or background noise. The use of the accompanying wireless devices is detailed in their respective user’s manuals. -

However, the user should be aware that the interpretation of graph and identification values for the weakest signals is difficult and requires a lot of experience. Language Allows the menu language to be chosen. RUTUS Alter71 ver. 2.0... -

To understand how Alter71 works and it's potential, the device’s flow chart below will help: Alter71 consists of several basic functional blocks: a transmitter, a search coil, a Motion Channel, an All metal channel, a sound control circuit and parts used to communicate with a user: a display and a speaker. -

„non-ferrous” objects. It is generally recognized that Discrimination works best for small objects at shallow depths. NOTE: When searching for coins and other small non-ferrous objects we recommend: Coins group sound profiles and setting the Discrimination level to above 20 [-30]. RUTUS Alter71 ver. 2.0... - Page 21 „tune” itself to the metal and stop signaling the object. How long this takes will depend on the SAT value: if SAT is set to 1 then this will be 1 second, if SAT is set to 20 – it will be approximately 0.7 seconds. RUTUS Alter71 ver. 2.0...

Page 22: Modes Of Operation And Searching
For universal searches the Dual mode will be the best. As your knowledge of the particular characteristics of this detector increases it will become easier to choose the best mode for each terrain and searching task. RUTUS Alter71 ver. 2.0... -
Page 23: Searching - Useful Advice
This will allow you to listen more closely to detector’s weakest signals, increasing the technical capabilities, especially in All metal modes, where the sounds are more subtle. When searching for the deepest objects, headphones should be an essential part of your equipment. RUTUS Alter71 ver. 2.0... -
