If manual scanning is selected, you need to press the START bu on on the device or the data icon on the application screen for each measurement signal.
- Page 12 LIVE SCAN MODE Live scanning is a 2D scanning mode that allows you to perform fast and pinpoint detection. With live scanning, scanning can be done without adhering to a certain order. Live scan mode can be scanned both on the built-in screen on the device and through the G-Portal mobile application. In order to use the Live Scan mode, the MFS Sensor must rst be a ached to the device.
- Page 13 In order tolaunch the live scan directly on the mobile app and analyze the data instantly, rst of all, there must be a wireless connection between the mobile app and the A2 device. To start the live scan, launch the Live Scan mode on the application.
- Page 14 PINPOINTER SCANNING MODE You can use the point detection option to determine the exact location of the metallic or magnetic object you have detected. e Pinpointer scanning mode can be used both on the device's built-in screen and through the G-Portal mobile application. In order to use the pinpointer mode, the MFS Sensor must rst be installed in the device.
- Page 15 Pinpointer Scanning with mobile application; To start the Pinpointer mode directly on the mobile application and analyze data in real-time, a wireless connection between the A2 device and the mobile application must rst be established. To start the Pinpointer mode, open the Pinpointer on the application.
- Page 16 RESISTIVITY (GEO-ELECTRIC) NOTE : ONLY AVAILABLE ON A2-GEO MODEL. Resistivity scanning allows you to nd large structures such as large metals, cavities, tunnels, rooms, caves. Resistivityscanning has two di erent search modes, automatic and manual. IMPORTANT NOTICE! You must install conductive probes and cables before starting the resistivity scan. Never a ach cables to the sockets a erthe scan has started.
- Page 17 RESISTIVITY (GEO-ELECTRIC) Automatic Scanning; You can use the resistivity search mode for large metals and large-scale searches such astunnels, caves, water, underground structures. You cannot detect small objects with theresistivity search mode. Before starting the Automatic Mode Resistivity scanning, place the 4 conductive probesprovided with the device in a square arrangement on the ground.
- Page 18 RESISTIVITY (GEO-ELECTRIC) Manual Scanning; Before starting the Manual Mode Resistivity scanning, place the 2 conductive probes provided with the device parallel to the ground. Adjust the distance between the probes according to the desired scanning depth. Your scanning depth will be approximately half the distance between the two probes.
- Page 19 To start the Resistivity mode directly on the mobile application and analyze data in real-time, a wireless connection between the A2 device and the mobile application must rst be established. To start the Resistivity mode, open the Resistivity on the application. Select the calibration menu to perform a pre-scan calibration.
- Page 20 RESISTIVITY (GEO-ELECTRIC) Automatic Scanning; You can use the resistivity search mode for large metals and large-scale searches such as tunnels, caves, water, underground structures. You cannot detect small objects with the resistivity search mode. Before starting the Automatic Mode Resistivity scanning, place the 4 conductive probes provided with the device in a square arrangement on the ground.
- Page 21 RESISTIVITY (GEO-ELECTRIC) Manuel Scanning; Before starting the Manual Mode Resistivity scanning, place the 2 conductive probes provided with the device parallel to the ground. Adjust the distance between the probes according to the desired scanning depth. Your scanning depth will be approximately half the distance between the two probes.
- Page 22 PULSE DETECTOR SCANNING MODE You can detect all metals (such as gold, silver, and even iron or other non-precious metals) underground using the pulse detector system. In the pulse detector mode, metals do not need to be buried underground for long periods. Depending on the detector's working principle, it can di erentiate between ferrous (iron-based) and non-ferrous (non-iron-based) metals, allowing you to detect all metals.
- Page 23 PULSE DETECTOR SCANNING MODE Advanced Scan Mode: When the Advanced Scan mode is selected, the device will rst automatically calibrate. During calibration, the detector scanning head should be positioned vertically towards the surface and should not be moved. Once calibration is complete, the device will transition directly to the scanning screen.
- Page 24 PULSE DETECTOR SCANNING MODE Gain; is option ampli es the signals detected by the detector, making it easier to identify targets. Lower gain se ings reduce environmental interference, providing a cleaner scan, while higher se ings amplify weak signals, allowing detection of deeper and smaller targets.
- Page 25 To start the detector mode directly via the mobile app and analyze data in real-time, a wireless connection between the mobile app and the A2 device is required. To activate the detector mode, open the detector mode in the app.
- Page 26 PULSE DETECTOR SCANNING MODE Pointer Scan Mode: e Pointer Scan mode is used to determine the exact location of the detected target. As you approach the target's location, the bars on the screen will ll up, and at the highest signal level, the graph will turn red. If the signal level is low, the graph on the screen will display green, and the bar will occupy a smaller area on the screen.
- Page 27 PULSE DETECTOR SCANNING MODE 3D Detector Scanning Mode: is option allows the user to choose how the device will perform the scanning process. ScanningMode : Bu seçenek kullanıcıya cihazın tarama i lemini nasıl yapmasını istediğini seçme seçeneği sunar. Manual: Using this option means the user needs to press the start bu on on the device for each scanning step.

From the "Options"...
- Page 31 3D VISUALIZATION AND ANALYSIS Graphical Analysis By examining the collected data graphically and numerically, you can determine if there are any variations in the scan results. e meanings of the colors in the graph obtained from the scan results are as follows: Red:Metallic objects and objects with high magnetic e ects.
- Page 32 3D VISUALIZATION AND ANALYSIS In cavity data: Arti cially created underground cavities such as tunnels, rooms, and tombs are shown in blue on the graph. If there is any collapse or soil lling in the underground cavity, the cavity data will appear in light blue, turquoise, and light green.
- Page 33 3D VISUALIZATION AND ANALYSIS To gain insight into your scan and the soil composition, you can use the smart soil analysis function. When you tap on the “Smart Scan Analysis” option, your application will perform a calculation for a while, and then it will provide the results regarding your scan. e app will inform you about the type of soil scanned, such as normal soil, mineral-rich soil, or soil with cavities.
- Page 34 DEVICE SETTINGS To adjust the se ings on the device, go to the se ings menu from the main menu. In this screen, you can view General se ings, Date/Time, Language se ings, and saved les.. In the General Se ings menu, you can adjust the main device volume and the detector volume.
- Page 35 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Can the device be used independently? Yes. e product provides many functions on its built-in screen. You can perform analysis directly on the device screen in detector mode, live scan mode, and resistivity mode. For more detailed analysis and review, you can use the licensed Android and IOS so ware for the product.
- Page 36 Can I detect water with the device? e device measures anomalies in the magnetic eld. A water- lled cave, limited underground water reservoir, or underground water ow may appear as a cavity in the graphics. he A2-Geo model can detect water sources using the Geo-Electric system.
- Page 37 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Can I scan in any direction while scanning? Scans should always be done along the north-south axis. Otherwise, there may be errors in the data. Why do I get di erent results when scanning in the same area at the same time? Magnetic measurement methods are a ected by factors such as the magnetic sensitivity of the area, sun and time variations, and starting the search from di erent points, which can lead to di erent results.
