  • Page 3: Introduction

    For experienced PI users accustomed to estimating nugget size from audio cues, the AlgoForce E1500 Plus can also help to estimate size or conductivity through its stable conductive target ID (0- 99), even in highly mineralised soils.

  • Page 12 AlgoForce E1500 The Sensitivity and Volume/Vibration settings in the Pinpoint UI are separated from the Main Detection UI. This separation ensures that while the main detection Sensitivity and Volume/Vibration are set for general detection, the pinpoint Sensitivity and Volume/Vibration can be finely adjusted for the accurate location of metal targets.

Higher conductivity target IDs produce higher audio pitches, facilitating differentiation of targets. 100 Tones Inv.: Each conductivity target ID is associated with a unique audio pitch ranging from 250Hz to 1042Hz.

    Why the E1500 Plus Uses only Auto Ground Balance The Algoforce E1500 Plus is purposefully designed with only auto ground balance to strike a balance between ease of use and maximum sensitivity. Manual ground balance, while effective, can be intimidating or impractical for new users, requiring constant attention and expertise.

  • Page 18 AlgoForce E1500 7. Coil Selection In the Coil Selection setting, there are five coil icons, each storing the calibration parameters and the coil size for a different coil. This means the detector can store calibration parameters for up to five coils.
  • Page 19 AlgoForce E1500 9. Mic Volume The control box has a microphone that captures ambient sounds, which can then be immediately played back through the headphone. This feature allows the user to simultaneously hear both the ambient sounds and detection audio. The Mic Volume setting allows the user to adjust the volume of the ambient sound playback.
