    Argo NE is a detector which has a built-in metal object identification circuit. The detector has 180 identification points which can be set within the range -90 to +90. It analyses the signal from a metal object several hundred times per second, after each identification process, the internal memory of the device saves a specific digital value.

    When the graph is clearly bent, curved or spread across the whole of the display, it is highly probable that you are dealing with an object such as a can, a thin steel sheet or other steel object whose magnetic properties are lesser than its conductive properties. RUTUS Argo NE...

    Sensitivity in the Argo NE detector may be adjusted across 75 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.

    Wireless Argo NE 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.

    In the Dual mode, settings similar to Motion and Non-Motion mode settings are available. They have the same meaning and action. In the Dual mode, the Audio gain is not set - this parameter is held steady at the optimum level. RUTUS Argo NE...
  • Page 17: Detector's Capabilities

    To understand how Argo NE works and it's potential, the device’s flow chart below will help: Argo NE 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.
  • Page 18: Modes Of Operation

    It works when SAT are set to 0. The detector signals all metal objects using the sound channel. The volume and the tone of the sound, depends on the signal’s strength – this gives the user information about the object’s size and distance from the search coil. RUTUS Argo NE...
