smooth, parallel swings to ensure maximum ground coverage.
DURING
NORMAL SEARCH, THE METER NEEDLE SHOULD REMAIN STABLE
OR
ONLY NEGLIGIBLE, SMALL MOVEMENTS COULD OCCUR.
The Meter is
only
used for Target Analysis of audio responses in any mode. When detecting
in Discrimination Mode, it is not necessary to use the meter as the audio
discrimination provides sufficient Target Analysis. In All-Metal Mode, both
ferrous and non-ferrous targets will give the same audio response by a
sudden increase in the intensity of the threshold tone. A strong response
indicates a large or relatively shallow target and a weak response indicates
a small or deep target. Any audio signal in All-Metal Mode may be analysed
by using the Meter. To analyse a signal with the Meter, sweep the coil
slowly across the target and observe the meter needle response. The
meter needle will kick to the right for non-ferrous targets when the audio
signal is heard. The meter needle will kick to the left for ferrous targets
when the audio signal is heard.
In Discrimination Mode
good non-ferrous targets will give a clear, well-
defined, two-way, repeatable audio signal. Ferrous targets will give a
'clicking' audio response or indistinct and erratic response.
Pinpointing
is carried by simply X-ing the coil across the signal. The
position where the signals are strongest indicates where the target is
buried. As with all detectors, when targets are of complex shape or are
located at an angle in the soil, pin-pointing may not be entirely accurate.
In VCO Mode
the pitch of the sound will get higher for non-ferrous targets
and lower for ferrous targets. The exact amount of pitch change can be set
by turning the VCO knob.
Turning to the setting 10 will result in highest possible audio pitch for the
non-ferrous targets and the audio difference between the ferrous and non-
ferrous target responses will be most definite.
TIPS
The Nexus Standard SE may seem very different in operation to some
detectors presently available. Some practice and experimentation with the
settings are necessary to get the best results on different sites.
Users should persist and regular use over a period of few weeks is likely to
be needed to become proficient, especially in detecting the very deepest
and smallest of targets.
