  • Page 3 CONGRATULATIONS ON THE PURCHASE OF YOUR XP METAL DETECTOR AND WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF RESEARCH AND EXPLORATION! You have invested in a high-tech detector capable of exceptional performance, which was designed and developed in France. You are therefore helping our Company to further research in the eld of metal detecting and we thank you for your contribution.
  • Page 4 TECHNICAL INTRODUCTION continued ... Dēus is also exceptional in being able to function without the remote control, with just the coil and the wireless headphones, for an even more compact, lightweight con guration (just 875 g)! Like the remote control, the headphones contain all the components needed for detection, they are a genuine control unit in themselves, but on an ultra-miniature scale.

    LIST OF PARTS The box for your Dēus metal detector contains the following parts: One assembled fully telescopic stem One connection cable: USB / one mini-B plug One connection cable: USB / three mini-B plugs One set of wireless headphones with storage case One power supply transformer-charger One 22.5 cm search coil with coil cover...

EXPERT Discrimination enables undesirable targets to be rejected by raising or lowering a threshold below which certain metals are di erentiated.
  • Page 11 DISCRIMINATION continued... Two alternatives involve selecting a low level of discrimination, between 5 and 10, then using either: 1/ The digital target display to more or less visually discriminate a target category. 2/ The Multi-tone mode to discriminate undesirable targets using a selected audio tone.
  • Page 12 Scroll through the frequencies with MENU SENS. Exit with FREQ. IRON VOL. REACTIVITY EXPERT Dēus gives you the choice of four detection frequencies (4 kHz, 8 kHz, 12 kHz and 18 kHz) which cover most detection needs. They enable you to adapt your research more closely to the characteristics of the ground and the targets to be detected.
  • Page 13 If you are just starting out, the 8 kHz frequency is a good compromise for general use. On a wet beach the 18 kHz frequency will be better at nding small gold jewellery such as chain necklaces and bracelets that are usually so di cult to detect.
  • Page 14 Adjust the Reactivity from 0 to 5 with MENU IRON VOL. Exit with REACTIV. AUDIO RESP. NOTCH EXPERT Reactivity is a vital setting that determines the detector’s performance in terms of speed of analysis and selectivity. If a soil contains a great deal of iron, hot rocks or other mineralised debris, soil penetration is generally reduced, as is a detector’s ability to identify targets similar to iron.
  • Page 15 Example Passing the coil over an iron object close to the surface then over a good metal target (ring). With a low Reactivity level, the iron is detected for a longer duration, to the extent that it completely hides the ring. No sound With a medium Reactivity level, you begin detecting the ring.
  • Page 16 AUDIO RESPONSE Adjust the Audio Response from 0 to 5 with MENU Exit with REACTIVITY AUDIO R. NOTCH The Audio Curve enables you to amplify the sound volume of distant DISC targets and therefore to be more alert to them. It gives the sensation of greater power, however it does not provide any additional depth as this setting only a ects the sound curve (the dynamic range of sounds).
  • Page 17 General features The di erent levels of soil mineralisation you encounter when prospecting can sometimes a ect the performance of your detector. For example, this may be due to natural magnetic mineralisation such as iron oxide, hot rocks and magnetite, or sporadic mineralisation from sites of former human settlement (also magnetic): hearths, pottery, hot rocks, slag, etc.
  • Page 18 Press Ground G.B. 4 modes are available: MANUAL - PUMPING - TRACKING - BEACH (ON / OFF) Go to Manual with G.B. TRACKING Adjust with MANUAL PUMPING Exit with BEACH You can manually adjust the ground rejection levels from 60 to 95 (Beach O mode) or from 0 to 30 (Beach On mode) 90 is the default level, it is the most common level which enables you to reject all magnetic minerals found in the ground.
  • Page 19 Pumping is a semi-automatic process which allows you to adjust the ground balance in a zone that you have determined as being representative of the 15 cm (6") mean level of the ground being prospected. Henceforth, the measured value of the ground is entered in memory and used as the new active ground balance value.
  • Page 20 Indeed, within the same sweep of just one meter, a considerable variety of ground events may be encountered, ranging from one extreme to the other (values between 70 and 90): hot rocks, brick, slag, pottery interspersed with soil that is neutral or characterised by diverse mineralisation. This may be to such an extent that any mean value would be meaningless.
  • Page 21 Go to Beach with G.B. BEACH PUMPING Choose YES (00-30) BEACH MANUAL Activates calculation of the ground balance on the zone corresponding to highly saline wet ground, so as to reduce interference caused by conducting salt water. After selecting Beach ON, you need to adjust the ground balance manually or by pumping on the wet zone concerned, in order to cancel out the ground signal.
  • Page 22 The none motion mode allows the user to operate the coil motionless above a target. It is useful to locate metal targets inside houses, cellars; also it is widely used to follow underground metal pipes. Meter Accept/Reject TUNE : allows to calibrate threshold to the ground. SENS : in conjunction with TUNE, SENS allows to adjust the depth.

You can then switch between coils just with a simple click via the remote control.

  • Page 34 POWER SUPPLY-batteries The search coil, remote control and headphones are all powered by identical lithium polymer batteries. These miniature, high-capacity batteries can be recharged quickly. The di erent Dēus elements can be charged while switched on or o , but switching them o speeds up the process. You should use the power adaptor supplied, which enables all three elements to be charged simultaneously when used with the USB/3 mini-B cable, also supplied.

  • Page 35: Replacement

    The LiPo batteries are designed to bear hundreds of charges and to last several years in your detector, thus resulting in signi cant savings in terms of purchase of batteries. After 300 to 400 charging cycles the battery still has 80% of its capacity, which then gradually begins to decrease over subsequent cycles.

  • Page 36: Precautions

    Do not charge the devices during a thunderstorm and unplug the power adaptor from the supply. Do not charge close to in ammable parts. Xplorer shall not be held liable for any consequences arising from a failure to comply with the precautions for use.

  • Page 41 These partially discriminated iron objects often generate a few audible remnants of broken, inconsistent signals (crackling). Depending on your abilities and preferences, you may wish to remove this crackling using the Silencer. When you increase the value of the silencer you are applying a lter which eliminates the crackling caused by iron.

  • Page 42: Practical Information

    PRACTICAL INFORMATION Metal detecting is a fascinating leisure activity that can bring you a lot of satisfaction. However, it requires a minimum of learning in order to get the most enjoyment. Begin by familiarising yourself with your equipment and its operation on a suitable practice ground. To do this, we recommend that you take an assortment of di erent objects: coins, everyday items, metal rubbish, etc.
  • Page 43 When you are detecting, you are free to choose the rate at which you move. For example, if you prefer to cover a zone at high speed while detecting, this will certainly give you a global ‘snapshot’ of the site. However, it is clear that this way of detecting will also leave large areas of ground unexplored between each sweep.
  • Page 44 Dēus is a precision device, designed to better address any detection constraints and be as robust as possible. Despite this, it is important to take care of it and exercise certain precautions in order to prolong its life: Do not store your device for long periods with discharged batteries. Ideally you should discharge/recharge the batteries at least once a month, and if possible store them 40 to 70% charged.
