It is advisable to use standard alkaline batteries to start with. You can then evaluate the sort of use you give the detector and decide whether the investment in rechargeables is justified.
  • Page 6 Battery Monitor GROUND RADAR SIMULATOR This unique continuously scrolling RADAR is a view of the signal received by the R1 circuit. It can be used as an additional tool to analyse any signals. It is also a useful Pin Pointing aid.
  • Page 7 The ID, (Identifier), numbers in the lower lefthand side correspond to the position of the ID block on the line at the top of the display. When the R1 has no signal or the signal is too weak or confusing to identify the display will show ‘??’. The ID line at the top of the screen will show a block in the relative position when the R1 successfully analyses a signal.

    Once Learn Reject is selected the sample or samples are swept several times over the head. The R1 will then set the disc block at the sample ID point so that any objects with the same ID as the sample will be rejected.
  • Page 9 Once Learn Accept is selected the sample or samples are swept several times over the head. The R1 will then clear the disc setting at the sample ID point so that any objects with the same ID as the sample will be accepted. Care should be taken to ensure that you do not ‘Learn Accept’...

    Second Sweep First Sweep Detection Range Your R1 is a top performance detector but adverse soil conditions can significantly reduce the depth of detection. Detection ranges will vary depending on the size of the object, the length of time an object has been buried, and the type of ground the object is buried in.
  • Page 17 Determining the Target Size An operator who is familiar with their instrument will be able to do an excellent job of determining object size, shape and depth before he digs. This technique is learned from careful analysis of the RADAR and audio signal coming from the detector. Each time a signal is heard, listen for any peculiar characteristics it may have, determine over how large an area you get a detector signal, and try to 'outline' the object before you dig.

Time spent researching to locate a worthwhile site for a search can be time wasted if your search is hasty and erratic. To achieve maximum results it is important then, to decide on your approach to any particular site in advance of the actual search.

  • Page 22: Sweeping Technique

    The technique of getting the best out of your detector is not learnt overnight. You need to get as much experience as possible so that you can recognise every kind of signal. Indeed, a good detector operator can often tell you what is being detected before it is unearthed. Search Head Position It is essential that the search head is kept close and parallel to the ground as in B.

  • Page 23: Code Of Conduct

    CODE OF CONDUCT 1. Do not trespass. Obtain permission before venturing on to any private land. 2. Respect the Country Code. Do not leave gates open when crossing fields, and do not damage crops or frighten animals. 3. Do not leave a mess.
