Target Identification
TARGET IDENTIFICATION NUMBER
Target Identification (Target ID) numbers range from
–19 to 99 with ferrous (iron) targets ranging from –19 to 0�
When a target is detected, it is represented as a number
that appears on the Target Identification Number field
on the display� This indicates the target's ferrous or
non‑ferrous properties for quick and easy identification�
For example, a US quarter has a Target ID of 89� This means
that each time a Target with an ID of 89 is detected, there is
a good chance that it will be a US quarter�
A Target ID Number appears when a target is detected� This example shows
the detection of a shallow US quarter� The corresponding Target ID Segment
flashes upon detection (flashing segment shown in grey)�
The last‑detected Target ID remains on the display for five
seconds or until another target is detected�
Note: Some non‑ferrous targets display a negative ID if
there is an adjacent ferrous target�
CONTENTS
If there is no detection or the detector passes over a target
that it rejects, the display shows two large dashes�
Two large dashes on the Target Identification Number
field when there is no detection�
DISCRIMINATION SCALE
The Discrimination Scale corresponds to the 119 Target IDs,
with each segments representing 4 Target IDs� Accepted
(detected) targets are shown as visible segments, and will
flash when a target with that ID is detected� Rejected (non‑
detected or 'blanked') targets are turned Off�
Discrimination Segments are turned On (Accepted) or Off
(Rejected) to create Discrimination Patterns�
You can discriminate between desired and undesired
targets that appear along the Discrimination Scale�
Therefore you only hear target signals from those you want
to find, and unwanted targets are ignored�
You can do this by the following methods:
Accepting/Rejecting detected targets upon detection
