Page 3: Terminology
TERMINOLOGY The following terms are used throughout the manual, and are standard terminology among detectorists. Reference to a metal being "eliminated" means that the detector will not ELIMIN TION emit a tone, nor display a Target-ID, when a metal object passes through the searchcoil’s detection field. - Page 4 PRE-ASSEMBLY Unpack your detector to find the following contents: 4. Middle Stem 1. Control Housing 5. Lower Stem with Bolt & Knurled Knob attached 6. S-Rod with 2. Armrest Assembly with 2 Screws Screw and Lock-Nut (attached with tape) 3. Searchcoil Tool Required: #1 Phillips Screwdriver 1.

Caution: Forcing in MIDDLE STEM with CAM LOCK raised may form a burr on camlock. If this happens, remove burr with knife to allow insertion. ASSEMBLY Position S-Rod upright. Rotate the LOCKING COLLAR fully in the counterclockwise direction. Insert your finger inside the tube and make sure the INTERNAL CAM LOCK is flush with the inside of the tube. -
Page 6: Batteries
BATTERIES The detector requires a single 9-volt ALKALINE battery (battery not included). Do not use ordinary Zinc Carbon batteries. Do not use “Heavy Duty” batteries. Rechargeable batteries can also be used. If you wish to use rechargeable batteries, we recommend using a Nickel Metal Hydride rechargeable battery. -
Page 7: Quick-Start Demo
QUICK-START DEMONSTRATION I. Supplies Needed • a Nail • a Gold Ring (try several different size gold rings) • a Large Silver Coin 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. -
Page 8: Ground Minerals
1. Ground Minerals the signals from metal objects you want to find. All soils differ, and can differ greatly, in the type and amount of ground minerals present. The Eurotek ® has a preset ground elimination setting. No user adjustments are required. -
Page 9: Electromagnetic Interference
THE BASICS OF METAL DETECTING The searchcoil produces a magnetic field and then detects changes in that 5. EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) magnetic field caused by the presence of metal objects. This magnetic field that the detector creates is also susceptible to the electromagnetic energy produced by other electronic devices. -
Page 10: Operation And Controls
OPERATION and CONTROLS NOTE: Immediately after powering on, your detector's unique 10-digit serial POWERING UP number is displayed once on the LCD. Two digits are displayed at a time; five 2-digit numbers are displayed in sequence. This 10-digit serial number is the same serial number imprinted on the label inside the battery compartment. -

Page 12: Discrimination
MENU SELECTIONS The Eurotek Metal Detector will detect a coin-sized object to a distance of HOW DEEP WILL IT GO? ® about 20 cm (8”) from the searchcoil at maximum sensitivity. Large metal objects can be detected to a depth of more than a meter. Detectability is directly related to the size of the metal object -- the larger the object, the deeper it can be detected. -
Page 13: Discrimination System
DISC function. V.C.O. (variable pitch and volume): targets with an ID less than 80. High Tone: all targets with an ID of 80 or greater. The Target-ID system and the Audio-ID systems on the Eurotek operate ® independently. Therefore, there may be times when the tones and IDs seem inconsistent. -
Page 14: Stance
IN-THE-FIELD TECHNIQUES Stand with your arm extended in front of your body. Don’t bend or stoop; ST NCE stand in a comfortable position. Hold the unit so that the searchcoil is about 3cm above the ground. Adjust the searchcoil so that it is parallel to the ground. -
Page 15: Depth Indicator
DEPTH INDICATOR In Discrimination Mode, each time an object is detected, a Bar Graph illuminates in addition to the Target-ID. The Bar Graph is a graphic representation of the distance from the searchcoil, and is calibrated to a coin-sized object. •... -

Page 17: Overload
OTHER FEATURES If a metal object or highly magnetic soil are too close to the searchcoil, the OVERLO D W RNING detector will “overload.” “ ” will appear on the screen and the detector will make a rapid, repeating mid-tone warning sound. Overload will not harm the detector, but the detector will not function under these conditions. -
