Quick‑Trak Ground Balance Procedure
Follow the Quick‑Trak Ground Balance procedure to quickly recalibrate the detector to
the new ground�
GPX 6000™ tracks automatically to changing ground conditions during normal use� It is effective for typical detecting in
most grounds� There will be times when the automatic ground tracking will not be able to track fast enough, such as when
moving to a different type of ground� In these situations, a Quick‑Trak Ground Balance will quickly recalibrate the detector to
the new ground�
START `
1. Press and hold the
Quick‑Trak button.
2. Raise and lower the coil.
3. Swing the coil from side‑to‑side.
4. Release the Quick‑Trak button.
` If there is still noise when the coil is passed over the ground, follow the
In some cases, try detecting on a nearby location in case the noise is being caused by a target / metal object� Try
performing Quick‑Trak over a new patch of ground�
Auto and Quick‑Trak Guide
Auto
` Ideal for both new and experienced users�
Tracks successfully to most ground conditions�
`
` Detector continuously tracks ground during detecting, but
Quick‑Trak may still be used to rebalance to changing or
variable ground conditions�
` Ground balances more slowly than Quick‑Trak�
CONTENTS
Press and hold the Quick‑Trak button — it must remain pressed
throughout the Quick‑Trak procedure�
Raise and lower the coil between 10 to 100 mm (1/2 to 4 in)
above the ground to expose the coil to the full range of the
ground — try to lower the coil as close and parallel to the ground
as possible without hitting the ground�
Swing the coil from side‑to‑side once the ground noise has
significantly reduced� This will capture any remaining ground
signals for a thorough ground balance�
Once the ground noise is at a comfortable level or will not reduce
any further, release the Quick‑Trak button�
Ground Balance Procedure (page
Quick‑Trak
` Quick‑Trak is a manually initiated Ground Balance process for
faster ground balancing than Auto�
` Use to ground balance to a chosen area of ground,
e�g� patches of extreme mineralisation, hot rocks etc�
` Use in between digging and checking for a target, so that the
target is not 'balanced out' accidentally�
