- Page 2 INTRODUCTION Congratulations on your choice of the DISCRIMINATOR. This Automatic Full Discriminator is a new generation of pulse induction metal detecting instruments. It is used for locating larger and smaller (3” to 4” [10cm x 12cm]) sized targets at greater depths compared to any other conventional metal detector.
- Page 3 The magnetometer sensor system senses the magnetism of ferrous fields. When the independent magnetometer sensor system senses the fields it displays a Red LED Light when a target is ferrous. DISCRIMINATOR Controls Control unit 1. Delay Control a.Sets the Delay timing for various soil conditions.
- Page 4 Indicates the intensity of the received signal. 8 Ferrous Metal Indicator Light a. Illuminates (only on 1m x 1m coil) when the discriminator has determined that the target is composed of ferrous metals. DELAY-This knob changes delay in pulse induction signal. Far left position is for Beaches or Very light soil minerals (signal bounces back to control unit fast with small delay).
- Page 5 INTENSITY METER -Shows target intensity as getting closer to metal and also indicates battery life when unit is first turned on. Battery is good if in the “battery good” level. Charge otherwise. ON-OFF/SENS- knob to turn control unit on, show battery voltage when turned on, and change how sensitive the coil is to metal targets.
- Page 6 Coil -Connector for search coil. Lightly screw down in a clockwise direction. DISCRIMINATION The DISCRIMINATOR Pulse Induction Metal Detector is actually a Dual Detector. Not only is it equipped with Pulse Induction it also has a built in Magnetometer sensor system to discriminate out what targets are ferrous.

for use or dismantled for transportation easily and quickly. The concentrated magnetic field of the coil allows and excellent detection range on relatively small metal objects. Targets the size of a cash box are clearly detected from a distances of 7-8 feet. Larger Targets like a large metal treasure chest can be detected at a range of up to 15 feet or more depending on soil conditions. - Page 8 (oxidation) in the ground. With the SDP series Automatic Full Discriminator we have tried to avoid all these disadvantages of the pulse induction systems for treasure hunting.
- Page 9 . Large detection range and extreme depth of detection . Small objects like bottle caps, pull tabs, pieces of aluminum are rejected . The device can be operated effectively in highly mineralized soil areas, beaches, fresh and salt waters. . High quality components are used and all critical parts of the circuit are designed to align themselves to signal drift due to changing temperatures .

Assemble the search coil and connect its plug to the jack on the rear panel of the control box. Lift the coil at the operational height (3-6 inches) over a place free of any metals.

- Page 13 persons bring the standard search coil. One of them carries the electronics box (at the opposite to the search coil side and trying to keep the electronics box as possibly far from the search coil’s frame), watching the indications and making adjustments during operation.
- Page 14 - The Discriminator is a typical motion detector. This means that the search coil should be moved over and through the metal target, if you stop your movement, then the detector will automatically retune itself and you’ll loose the target.
- Page 15 Practical use in the Discriminating mode of operation -In the prepared from your test field add a ferrous utensil with a diameter of 5-6” and bigger, and at 6 – 10 feet, some other iron instruments. -Tune the detector in the Manual Mode far from any metals, and after that switch it to the Automatic Mode of operation, as previously done.
- Page 16 coil. But in case there are ferrous instruments or weapons, buried together with a cache of money, you risk missing the cache, because of the so called “iron shield” or “mask”-the discrimination of the ferrous targets oppresses the detector’s reaction to the non-ferrous targets. You could imitate such a situation, making the following test: -Take one of your non-ferrous plates and leave it close to one of the ferrous targets, (knife, gun, and other ferrous weapons or...
- Page 17 soil, and its high mineralization could also cause interfering signals. To reduce them, see “field guide” for detail of interference removal operation. Maintenance Do not store the detector if the device is wet or dirty. Keep the connectors and jacks dry and clean. In case of malfunction, first check the battery voltage and the cable connections.
- Page 18 Permission and Laws Prior to searching and digging you must have permission to search private property from the owner or caretaker. Know the laws that apply to the area you are going to search in. Laws vary a great deal with the City, County, State, and Country, regarding the use of metal detectors.
