Vibra-Probe
585
Pinpointer Metal Detector
Thank you for choosing the Vibra-Probe 585
metal detector made by Treasure Products Inc.,
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 grass, mud, dirt, sand,
black sand, or even in fresh or salt water to a
depth of 100 feet (30m).

Product Features

Communicates with vibration
The Vibra-Probe signals with pulses of vibration
when a target is located.
Pulse Induction Technology (PI)
For superior hunting in salt water and black sand.
Detection depth stability
Advanced electronic circuitry maintains detection
distance throughout the life of the battery.
Target direction
The Vibra-Probe detects at the tip only, not along
the shaft, enabling precision target pinpointing.
Target distancing
As you get closer to the target the pulses of
vibration will increase in quantity.
Automatic tuning
Microprocessor design requires no adjustments.
Waterproof to 100 ft (30m)
Sealed design is submersible to a depth of 100 ft.

Battery Installation

Battery Compartment Seal
This detector uses an expansion plug to seal the
battery compartment. When the knob of the seal
is rotated clockwise, the rubber in the plug
expands and presses against the inside wall of
the battery compartment, sealing the unit.
Opening the Compartment
To open the battery compartment, rotate the knob
of the seal counter-clockwise a few turns to
reduce the expansion, then pull to remove.
Connecting the Battery
Connect a standard 9-volt battery to the battery
clip and insert the battery into the detector, clip
side first.
Sealing the Compartment
To replace the seal, insert it fully into the battery
compartment. Then turn the knob clockwise until
hand tight to assure a water-tight seal.
Powering On & Off
Power on
Point the probe tip up for at least one second. Two
short pulses of vibration indicate the probe is on.
Power off
After use, point tip up for at least one second. Two
long pulses of vibration indicate the probe is off.
Automatic off: The detector will automatically turn
off one minute after last detection pulse. Turn off is
indicated by two long pulses of vibration.
Low battery auto-off
When the battery is low the unit will shut down
automatically indicated by four long pulses.
Before submerging detector make sure
the battery compartment seal is secure.
Use only high quality batteries such as
alkaline or nickel metal hydride (NiMH).

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.
