Treasure Cove Vibra-Probe 585 Manual

Vibra-Probe
585
Pinpointer Metal Detector
Thank you for choosing the Vibra-Probe 585 pinpointer
metal detector made by Treasure Products, the originators
of the vibrating pinpointer.
The simple to use design and modern electronics make it
easy to locate elusive targets in any environment including
mud, dirt, grass, black sand, and even fresh or salt water.

PRODUCT FEATURES

• Communicates with vibration - The Vibra-Probe signals
with pulses of vibration when a target is located.
• 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 direction - Probe detects at the tip only, not along
the shaft, enabling precision target pinpointing.
• Target distancing - As the probe tip gets closer to the
target the pulses of vibration will continue to increase.
• Automatic tuning - The state of the art microprocessor
controlled design requires no adjustments of any kind.
• Tilt On/Off - Turns on and off when pointed upward or
will automatically turn itself off one minute after last pulse.
• Waterproof - Sealed design allows hunting in the rain or
under water to a depth of 100 feet.
Before submerging the Vibra-Probe 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: Point the probe tip up for at least one second.
Two short pulses of vibration indicate the probe is on.
Turn off: After use, point tip up for at least one second. Two
long pulses of vibration indicate the probe is off.
Automatic off: Automatically occurs one minute after last
pulse. Turn off is indicated by two long pulses of vibration
Low battery turn off: When the battery is low the unit will
shut down automatically indicated by four long pulses.

DETECTING A TARGET

The Vibra-Probe communicates through pulses of vibration.
The pulses of vibration increase in quantity the closer the
probe tip is to the 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.
Probe the soil in different locations until you detect the
target. The Vibra-Probe detects targets at the tip only. This
allows you to precisely locate the target.
The probe communicates its proximity to the target only one
time per detection. Move the probe tip slightly away and
then re-approach the target to get the next detection.

IMPORTANT NOTES

• The Vibra-Probe is a robust unit. However, it should not
be used as a pry-bar or digging tool.
• Continuing to hold the Vibra-Probe pointed up after turn
on allows hunting in a vertical position if desired.
• False detections may occur if the coil of your primary
detector is too close to the Vibra-Probe.

HELPFUL HINTS

As with any new detector you should practice with known
targets to develop your searching technique.
Use the included holster to carry your Vibra-Probe on your
belt so it's always at the ready.
If your primary detector indicates that the target is near
the surface, probe the surface before digging. To locate
deeper targets loosen the ground with a suitable digging
tool before using the probe.
When hunting in a lawn, rather than digging a large hole,
insert a screwdriver or similar tool into the ground from
several angles to push the grass and roots aside to form
a slot large enough to insert the probe. Then probe the
sides of the slot to locate the target.

CARE AND MAINTANANCE

Your Vibra-Probe 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-Probe 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 water has entered the battery compartment carefully wipe
dry and leave open until completely dry.
