Vibra-Quatic
320
Pinpointer Metal Detector
Thank you for choosing the Vibra-Quatic 320 pinpointer
metal detector made by Treasure Products Inc., the
originators of the vibrating pinpointer.
PRODUCT FEATURES
• Communicates with vibration & light - When a target is
located the Vibra-Quatic 320 signals with pulses of vibration
and fl ashes of bright light from a blue LED.
• Pulse Induction Technology (PI) - Allows hunting in salt
water or in any type of soil, including black sand.
• Detection depth stability - Advanced circuitry maintains
detection distance throughout the life of the battery.
• Target distancing - As you get closer to the target the
pulses of vibration and light will increase in quantity.
• Automatic tuning - The state of the art microprocessor
controlled design requires no adjustments of any kind.
• Waterproof - Sealed design allows hunting in the rain or
under water to a depth of 100 feet. Great for divers!
Before submerging the Vibra-Quatic make sure
the battery compartment seal is secure.
Always use high quality batteries such as
alkaline or nickel metal hydride (NiMH).
BATTERY INSTALLATION
TM
When the knob of the battery compartment seal is rotated
clockwise, the plug expands and presses against the inside
wall of the battery compartment, sealing the unit.
To open the battery compartment seal, rotate the knob
counter-clockwise a few turns, then pull to remove.
Connect a standard 9 volt battery to the battery clip and
insert the battery into the detector, clip side fi rst.
To replace the seal, insert all the way in. Then turn the knob
clockwise until hand tight to assure a water-tight seal.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Turn on sequence: Hold unit with the search tip up. Light
will fl ash. Two short pulses of vibration, and a steady dim
light, indicate unit is on.
Turn off sequence: After use, hold unit with the search
tip up. Light will fl ash. Two long pulses of vibration, and no
light, indicate the unit is off.
Low battery turn off: When the battery is low the unit will
shut down automatically indicated by four long pulses of
vibration and bright light.
DETECTING A TARGET
The Vibra-Quatic communicates through pulses of vibration
and bright light. These pulses increase in quantity the closer
the tip is to a target. The quantity of pulses is proportional
to the target size and distance. The bigger the target, or
the closer the probe tip is to the target, the higher the
pulse count.
You can either probe the soil or sweep the tip side to
side on the surface you are detecting. The Vibra-Quatic
directs its detection fi eld straight out the tip. This allows
you to precisely locate the target .
The detector communicates its proximity to the target only
one time per detection. Move the tip slightly away and then
re-approach the target to get the next detection.
HELPFUL HINTS
If you continue to hold the Vibra-Quatic with the tip up after
turn on, then the detector will remain on indefi nitely in this
vertical position. This feature may be useful if searching
with the detector's tip in a vertical position is necessary.
You can secure the Vibra-Quatic to your wrist using the
attached wrist strap. To adjust fi t, press down on the cord
lock button and move it to the desired location.
IMPORTANT NOTES
• The detection fi eld projected resembles a cone shape,
with the deepest depth of detection in the center of the tip.
The slower the sweep the deeper the detection depth.
• Raising the detector's tip up while in use will start the
turn-off sequence, indicated by a blinking light. Lower the
detector tip within 3 seconds to continue detecting.
• Unit will not detect when the light is blinking in either the
turn-on or turn-off sequence.
• As with any new detector you should practice with known
targets to develop your searching technique.
CARE AND MAINTANANCE
Your Vibra-Quatic is a sensitive electronic instrument.
Although it is rugged, care in transporting and handling will
extend its life and result in optimum performance.
When the Vibra-Quatic is off there is no drain on the battery.
However, if stored for long periods of time, we recommend
that the battery be removed to prevent damage to the
detector due to a potential battery leak.
If the detector has been exposed to salt water always rinse
with fresh water and check the battery compartment for any
leaks. If water has entered the battery compartment care-
fully wipe dry and leave open until completely dry.
