BATTERY INFORMATION For NMS30: In NMS30, 2 pins are used instead of 3. When connecting 2 charging stations for this model, insert the first pin in the middle slot and the second pin in the back slot of the first station leaving the first slot empty.
DEVICE OPERATION Turning On the Device Press and hold the on/off button for 1.5 seconds. The LEDs will blink. After a long and a short beep, battery life and sensitivity indicator LEDs as well as the alarm button LEDs (if they are activated) will stay lit up. The device is ready for use.
DEVICE OPERATION Scanning Scan the person's body by holding the device close to the area being scanned. WARNING! When scanning areas closer to the ground, to eliminate the detection of rebar, keeping the rebar elimination button held down, hold the detector as shown in the picture and scan vertically. Metal Detection When the device detects a metal target, the LED Alarm Indicator will light up as follows in proportion to the size and proximity of the target:...
DEVICE OPERATION Auto Stand-By Mode When the device is laid down flat on a surface with the indicators facing up, it will go into an auto stand-by mode after 180 seconds to reduce power consumption. When the device is laid down flat on a surface that contains metal with the indicators facing up, it will go into an auto stand-by mode right after emitting an alarm for a second.
DEVICE OPERATION 2) Set the sensitivity setting to minimum - level 1. Then, hold the test piece so that the 3 lines are at the top and repeat the process above. The device must generate an alarm. NMS20 NMS30 Using Multiple Detectors Simultaneously While using multiple detectors simultaneously, the devices must be kept 1 meter (3.3 ft.) away from each other.
TROUBLESHOOTING Issue: The device is emitting an alarm without the presence of a metal target. Possible Cause: Electromagnetic sources are present nearby. 1) Another hand-held detector operating at the same frequency Solution: Turn the detector off and change the frequency. 2) A walk-through metal detector or another electromagnetic noise source Solution: Increase your distance with the source of the electromagnetic interference.
