QUICK START The Veles is extremely easy to use, so even a novice user is able to quickly understand the settings. To get started, you just need to take the metal detector out of the box, assemble it and follow a few simple steps:...
Page 8: Operating Principle
The basic principle of the Veles’ operation is induction balance (IB), which is achieved by using two induction coils (the transmitter and the receiver ones) inside the detector search coil 1 . When a metal object appears in proximity to this coil 2 , the inductive balance is disrupted and this results in an unbalanced signal at the output of the receiver coil 3 .
Page 9: Detecting Tips
The Veles is a motion detector, it means you should constantly move the coil over the ground. If the coil is motionless, a target won’t be detected. Incorrect movement of the coil can cause you to potentially miss a target or can lead to false signals.

GROUND BALANCE Ground balancing is a mandatory procedure that helps to It’s very important to always set the ground reduce the detector’s reaction on mineralized ground. By using balance before starting the search. If the the ground balance function, the device adapts to the soil detector isn’t properly ground balanced, its searching abilities may be reduced that way causing unstable conditions you are on, in order to minimize false detection...

A target signal in this mode will be variable in both frequency and level of sound volume. The scale on the LCD additionally helps to visually identify the position of a detected target and estimate its burial depth. The Veles has two PINPOINT modes: Determining a target’s precise location and Determining a target’s size. Press and hold to choose one of these modes.
