Page 8: Using The Instrument
The most efficient way to establish quickly the presence of metal is to operate the Elcometer P610 at maximum sensitivity (GAIN control rotated fully clockwise); however having established the presence of metal, the sensitivity can be progressively reduced by turning the GAIN control anticlockwise to enable accurate pin-pointing of the metal object to within 5 cm to 8 cm. -
Page 9: Strong Signals And Target Pinpointing
4 STRONG SIGNALS AND TARGET PINPOINTING Whereas the signal from an object at its maximum detection distance is weak, the signal from the same object very close to the coil is between one hundred and one thousand times stronger and will cause the circuits to overload. -
Page 10: Detector Response To Discrete Objects
6 DETECTOR RESPONSE TO DISCRETE OBJECTS 6.1 OBJECT ORIENTATION Non-magnetic (non-ferrous) objects give the greatest signal when they present the largest area; thus a sheet of metal gives the greatest signal when ‘face-on’, and the least when ‘edge- on’. For magnetic (ferrous) objects (e.g. iron or steel) the signal is ‘magnified’... - Page 11 6.2 EDGE EFFECTS In some cases, an object with a poor response under the centre Non-ferrous of the coil due to its unfavourable orientation will give a stronger signal when under the edge of the coil. In some cases therefore, a ‘difficult’ object will appear as two sharp responses exactly one coil diameter apart, with the true position halfway in between;...
- Page 12 6.3 WIDTH OF RESPONSE Mentally plotting the strength of response against position as the object is scanned across can give yet more information about the object: movement A close object gives sharp responses as it crosses the edges of the coils Distant objects give a more gradual decrease off-centre Extended objects have a sharp response at their edges, and a ‘flatter’...
