This detector has been designed with the latest technology to allow you to make the most of your passion, to discover the remains of the past. Argo NE is a continuation and development of the concept of two detectors that have gained popularity among the searchers, Argo and Optima.
(see picture beside). The circuit monitoring the battery level shows a charging level of 1.5 V for standard alkaline batteries. When using 1.2 V rechargeable batteries the battery charge icon will never be full. RUTUS Argo NE...
– decreasing from 5 to 1 and after the last movement up the message « Detector ready, pull trigger » will be shown. After pulling the trigger, the soil phase reading will be gathered and after about 2 seconds the detector will be ready for searching. RUTUS Argo NE...
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. The picture below shows the display in the operation mode. RUTUS Argo NE...
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.
« Overload » message on the display. In this situation lift the search coil up – when the overload message has gone, the display will show the identification value for the object. RUTUS Argo NE...

-90 and +90 are connected, and therefore an object identified as above -90 is automatically identified as a high value object and vice versa. RUTUS Argo NE...
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.
Once all the required sounds have been determined from the edit screen, exit with the trigger.These programs are common to Motion and Dual mode work. RUTUS Argo NE...
Only for use when searching for small objects of non-ferrous metals in rubbish and in areas of very high mineralization. Setting Adjustment range Th Level 0 – 100 Th Sens 60 – 500 Hz Yes, No Th SAT 0 – 20 RUTUS Argo NE...
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...
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.
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...

All metal channel. To better understand the characteristics of the Dual mode it is best to get to know the following modes first: Motion with discrimination and All metal Non-motion with different speeds. RUTUS Argo NE...
In difficult weather conditions it is advised to use a cover for the control panel and the battery compartment. Correct maintenance of the detector will increase its reliability and longevity. RUTUS Argo NE...
