Beach
( SIMPLEX LITE/BT/ULTRA)
This is a special mode of the SIMPLEX
developed for conductive grounds (salty wet
sand beach, grounds with alkali soil etc.). The
feature of this mode presents the ability to
ignore iron and similar targets in this group and to be
able to perform ground balance on any type of ground.
While the device performs ground balance in the range
of 20-99.9 automatically in the other discrimination
modes, the device ground balances in the range of
0-99.9 in this mode. This enables easier ground
balancing on conductive grounds where normally
ground balance cannot be performed at all or performed
with difficulty.
Different than the other modes, targets with 0-14 IDs
are notched out by default and cannot be changed in
order to ignore ferrous metals or ground noise. In this
mode, the device produces a medium tone for gold and
non-ferrous metals with IDs 15-99.
Salt water and alkali grounds are significantly
conductive due to high ionization and cause effects
similar to that of iron in detectors. These effects may
make it impossible to search for metals with a standard
detector. Existence of an iron elimination feature in a
detector can improve the situation but may not be
sufficient.
SIMPLEX's beach mode eliminates such effects and
ground noise. Aspects to be taken into consideration
while searching on conductive grounds are explained in
more detail in the section titled Detection on the Beach
and Underwater.
All Metal
( SIMPLEX LITE/BT/ULTRA)
Different than the other modes, this mode
features a
continuously heard in the background. You
cannot search in the All Metal mode without
ground balancing.
In this mode, the device does not discriminate targets
and detects them all (metals, mineralized rocks etc.). ID
of the detected target is shown on the display (except
for negative hot rocks) and the same audio tone is
provided for all targets. The audio tone increases in
pitch as the coil approaches the target.
threshold tone which
In the All Metal mode, search is performed with a
continuous humming sound in the background, also
referred to as the threshold sound. The loudness of this
hum directly impacts the detection depth of smaller
and deeper targets and it is adjusted by the Threshold
setting. If the threshold is set too high, a weak target
signal may not be heard. On the contrary, if the threshold
is too low, you give up the depth advantage this setting
offers. In other words, weak signals of smaller or deeper
targets may be missed. It is recommended for average
users to leave this setting at its default value and for
experienced users to adjust to the highest level where
they can still hear the weak target signals.
We recommend using the All Metal Mode when
discrimination is not important and not using it in
heavy trash areas or areas containing many hot rocks.
4-Tone (SIMPLEX ULTRA)
( SIMPLEX ULTRA)
In this mode, the device produces a low tone
4
for ferrous targets with 0-14 IDs, a medium
tone for gold and non-ferrous metals with
IDs 15-70, a medium-high tone for metals
with 71-80 IDs, and a high tone for non-ferrous metals
with IDs 81-99.
The 4-Tone mode is set to Recovery Speed 3 by default.
You can change the Recovery Speed, Tone Breaks as
well as the Tone Frequency manually. For detailed
information, please refer to the ''Settings'' section of the
manual (page 16).
99-Tone
( SIMPLEX ULTRA)
Multi-tone discrimination mode designed for
99
coin hunting in various mineralization. In this
mode, the device produces a low tone for
ferrous targets with 0-14 IDs. For targets
is
with IDs greater than 14, the device will produce a
different tone for each ID. The tone will be higher in
pitch as the conductivity of the metal increases and
vice versa.
The 99-Tone mode is set to Recovery Speed 3 by
default. You can change the Recovery Speed. For
detailed information, please refer to the ''Settings''
section of the manual (page 16).
