Precise Location Of Metal Objects; Search Process - KTS-Electronic GOLD ID-XL User Manual

4.3 Precise location of metal objects

GOLD ID-XL works with the pulse induction searching system and detects without
having to move the searchcoil. While approaching an object with the searchcoil you
will notice an increase of sound frequency. As soon as the searchcoil is positioned
exactly over the object, the highest tone is reached and the indicated conductivity
value corresponds with to the assumed kind of metal.
With this method not only the exact spot is located, through the sound continuity also
the shape of the discovered object can be identified. For example, a long-lasting high
tone stands in longitudinal direction for a slim object, e.g. a pipe. A round object can
be assumed, if a high tone in any direction is heared.

5. Search process

Please note the following:
 Avoid conducting overhead lines
 Do not use cell phone during operation
 Do not process measurements during thunderstorms
 Keep dry
 Accurate operation is only guaranteed with a fully charged battery
For operation or charging only use the components enclosed or released by KTS
GmbH & Co. KG.
Application:
1. After switch-on and regulation of volume and frequency press the Reset-button for soil
calibration.
2. For the ground balance regulation hold coil on a metal-free spot and press the Reset-
button. With the ground balance regulation the influence of minerals in the soil is
neutralized and error signals are decreased.
3. Repeat the ground balance regulation at various spots, so that the calibration is always
carried out correctly. This shall particularly apply, if the soil layers have changed due to
possible excavations.
