KTS-Electronic GOLD ID-XL User Manual page 9

GOLD ID-XL enables the discrimination after a special measuring method. Here 5
measurements are carried out, which will calculate the average value. The average
value calculation leads to a more precise metal type discrimination. The identification
of the metal type makes it possible to distinguish varying metal objects with the
appropriate values. The average value is shown in sector gold with up to 400, in the
range of copper with 1200 and in the field of light metals, e.g. aluminum, with 2800.
Note: The GOLD ID-XL shows a very sensitive reaction towards small gold objects (e.g.
nuggets). Through the increase of frequency the depth performance also rises. However, in
case of difficult soil conditions an increase in disturbances can occur, which can be reduced
by a renewed reset and a reduction in the frequency.
As long as the searchcoil is positioned exactly over the metal object the displayed
conductibility value is crucial.
A weak signal will not be sufficient for metal determination. To compute the
conductibility of a metal object a signal with high intensity is necessary.
Please bear in mind that – depending on soil conditions as well as size and shape of
located objects – the measured values may vary. Indicated values are guide values,
which can be complemented by your own search routine in your search area.
See also the explanation of false signals on page 11.
Note: To avoid incorrect conductivity values it is absolutely necessary to repeat the
adjustment of soil balance. When pressing the Reset-button make sure, that there are no
metal parts in the soil.
