- Page 3 NTRODUCTION ONGRATULATIONS ON PURCHASING AN METAL DETECTOR AND WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF RESEARCH AND EXPLORATION You have invested in a high tech detector with extreme performance, designed and developed in France, therefore, you are taking part in the development and research in the field of metal detecting undertaken by our company, we thank you for that.
- Page 4 NTRODUCTION Our detectors use wide scan search heads (Double D), because this coil geometry allows a better ground penetration. The optional elliptical 5” x 10” search coil will improve the selectivity on iron infested areas, this is the best complementary coil for the Gold Maxx. The Gold Maxx search heads are not compatible with those of other XP detectors because of their specific frequency (18kHz).
- Page 5 ESCRIPTION 1 - Robust, waterproof search coil. Diam.9” (22.5 cm), provided with coil cover. 2 - High impact plastic end. 3 - Fibreglass lower stem 4 - Twist lock 5 - Comfortable foam handle 6 - Impact resistant polypropylene armrest 7 - Strong cable, designed to resist movement failures.
- Page 6 III. A SSEMBLY The assembly of your detector will only take you a few seconds. Put the shaft together as shown on the diagram. 1. Press the 2 shafts (3) and (5) one towards the other to help the spring clips (4) locate themselves.
- Page 7 III. A SSEMBLY Once the control box in place under the armrest, insert the connector (female) (2) in its panel connector (male), lock it, the connector is now watertight. The control box is now fixed under the armrest as indicated on the opposite diagram.
- Page 8 IV. A LKALINE OR ECHARGEABLE ATTERY ATTERY ATTERY LERT LKALINE ATTERY Gold Maxx is powered with 12 volts from 8 AA Alkaline batteries split in 2 battery holders, 4 batteries each. Pay close attention to the batteries + polarity before inserting the battery holders in the electronic box.
- Page 9 IV. A LKALINE OR ECHARGEABLE ATTERY ATTERY ATTERY LERT ATTERY Alkaline batteries about 70 hours with headphones. Batteries about 20 hours with headphones. ATTERY LERT When the battery voltage is too low to power the detector, you will hear a series of beeps like an alarm.
- Page 10 ONTROLS , I/0 S ENSITIVITY WITCH Turn the machine on with the SENSITIVITY I/O control. You will hear some quick "beeps" which will tell you that the detector is correctly operating. The sensitivity level adjusts the detection depth and the stability of your detector.
- Page 11 ONTROLS ISCRIMINATION The Gold Maxx gives you the choice between two modes : Mono-Tone or Multi -Tone. The Multi-Tone mode signals different metals by giving different tones: Low, Medium, High. The DISC control allows you to select either the Mono-Tone or Multi-Tone mode: DISC control in position 1 to 10 = Mono-Tone mode In this position the Multi-Tone mode and the IRON LEVEL control are deactivated.
- Page 12 ONTROLS ISCRIMINATION 2 TONE / 3 TONE WITCH In Multi -Tone mode this switch allows you to select different signalling based on either 2 or 3 tones. 2 TONE : Low / Medium • Low : Iron target • Medium : All metal except iron. 3 TONE : Low / Medium / High •...
- Page 13 ONTROLS ILENCER The silencer can limit false signals caused by iron. Use position I or II if you desired a quieter search. Silencer in position II will allow to get used to Gold Maxx faster and will improve iron rejection. 0 : Silencer OFF I : Silencer (advised position) II : Silencer X 2...
- Page 14 VI. M ULTI NFORMATION In Multi-Tone mode the signal tones vary depending upon the object found. The pitch of signal depends upon conductivity, the higher the conductivity, the higher the pitch. Iron has a very special signature that can be recognised easily. We have assigned it a low- pitched sound together with a volume setting (Iron Level) so that you can make the tone more or less conspicuous.
- Page 15 VII. D ETECTING ECHNIQUES Gold Maxx is a motion detector, which means that metallic target detection can only be carried out when the search coil is moving. When you detect an area, it is important to sweep with the head as close as possible to the ground with wide sweeps, but not making contact with the ground.
- Page 16 VIII. C NSTRUCTIONS Our detectors are designed to be as robust as possible. However, like any electronic precision instrument, they require some care. The XP search coil cable has been designed so as to resist long term movement. However you should take some precautions and prolong the life of your detector: to remove the connector from its base, it is important never to pull the cable but the connector.

Page 18: Advice To Detectorists
X. A DVICE TO ETECTORISTS Detecting is an activity, which like other leisure activities require some guiding principles. These few recommendations will allow you to fully enjoy detecting while respecting laws, environment and people. • Enquire about and abide by the laws in force of the country or the state before searching. It is of your responsibility to know them and to abide by them. -
