CONTROLS
SENS
Adjust the sensitivity from 1 to 6. At startup the default sensitivity is level 4.
If the detector beeps erratically or beeps when there are no metal objects being
detected, reduce the sensitivity.
USE
to reduce the sensitivity
Lowest sensitivity detects
coins to approximately 2"
WARNING: Reduce the sensitivity if the detector behaves erratically.
In today's wireless & technological environment there is a never-ending variety
of devices emitting EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) that can interfere with
this detector.
DISC
DISCRIMINATION
When the detector emits different tones for different types of metals, and
when the detector "eliminates" certain metals, we refer to this as the detector
"discriminating" among different types of metals.
Discrimination is an important feature of professional metal detectors.
Discrimination allows the user to ignore trash and otherwise undesirable
objects.
and
control the detector's Discrimination function. In its
default setting all metals are detected. Use this
eliminate unwanted types of metals from detection. Targets are eliminated
from detection from left to right across the Target Category Arc.
Each time you press
a target category icon will disappear. When an
icon disappears that category is eliminated from detection. Notice that the 4
right-most categories cannot be eliminated. These 4 right-most categories
represent silver or other high-value targets, which are generally desirable;
therefore the detector does not allow them to be discriminated out.
To return categories to detection, press
accepted back for detection from right to left.
NOTCH
The
control is similar to Discrimination in that it allows you to accept
or reject different types of metals. While DISC works left to right, the NOTCH
control allows you to accept or reject individual categories.
Categories eligible for NOTCH are

QUICK-START DEMONSTRATION
I. Supplies Needed:
a Nail (made of iron)
a U.S. Quarter (or silver coin)
a U.S. Nickel
a Gold Ring
a U.S. Dime
a U.S. Penny, dated after 1982 (post-1982
pennies are made of Zinc)
(Most newer non-U.S. coinage also contains mostly Zinc)
II. Position the Detector:
a. Place the detector on a table with the searchcoil hanging over the edge. Or
better, have a friend hold the detector with the searchcoil off the ground.
b. Keep the searchcoil away from walls,
floors and metal objects.
c. Remove watches, rings and jewelry.
d. Turn off lights or appliances whose
electromagnetic emissions may cause
interference.
e. Pivot the searchcoil back.
f. Press
to power on.
III. Demonstrate DISCRIMINATION Feature:
a. Pass all objects over the searchcoil and notice the different tones.
Nail: low tone
Nickel: medium tone
Zinc Penny: medium tone
Gold Ring: most gold rings will register with a medium tone
Dime: high tone
Quarter: high tone
b. Wave objects close, notice depth indicator. Wave objects farther away and
notice depth indicator.
c. Press
once.
d. Wave nail over searchcoil.
It will not be detected because it has been "discriminated out."
e. Press
4 more times. Wave all objects. The Penny and Nickel will not
be detected. They have been "discriminated out."
IV. Demonstrate NOTCH Feature:
5¢
a. Press
twice until
5¢
b. Notice that the
is now illuminated.
c. Pass the Nickel over the searchcoil and notice it has been detected. The
Nickel has been "notched" back in.
V. Demonstrate DEPTH Indicator:
a. Pass the Nickel close to the searchcoil (about 1" away).
b. Notice the single arrow indicating a shallow target.
c. Wave the Nickel farther away from the searchcoil and notice 2 or 3 arrows
illuminating, indicating a deeper target.
