  • Page 4 CONGRATULATIONS ON THE PURCHASE OF YOUR XP METAL DETECTOR AND WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF RESEARCH AND EXPLORATION! You have invested in a high-tech detector capable of exceptional performance, which was designed and developed in France. You are therefore helping our company to further research in the eld of metal detecting and we thank you for your contribution.
  • Page 5 Performance is identical whether you are searching with or without the remote control! Lastly, the new patented* XP stem has the combined advantages of an S-shaped stem and a straight telescopic stem. It enables you to deploy or fold away the device in just a few seconds, and to change the coil in an instant.

    Configuring the main detection settings. MENU Press menu Scroll through the menu by pressing Adjust the Discrimination level (from 0 to 99) with MENU NOTCH Exit with to return to the main menu. DISC SENS. FREQ. EXPERT Discrimination enables undesirable targets to be rejected by raising or lowering a threshold below which certain metals are differentiated.

  • Page 12: Sensitivity

    Two alternatives involve selecting a low level of discrimination, between 5 and 10, then using either: 1/ The digital target display to more or less visually discriminate a target category. 2/ The Multi-tone mode to discriminate undesirable targets using a selected audio tone.

  • Page 13: Frequency

    Scroll through the frequencies with MENU Exit with SENS. FREQ. IRON VOL. REACTIVITY EXPERT Dēus gives you the choice of four detection frequencies (4 kHz, 8 kHz, 12 kHz and 18 kHz) which cover most detection needs. They enable you to adapt your research more closely to the characteristics of the ground and the targets to be detected.

  • Page 14: Iron Level

    Remember that generally speaking, all frequencies can detect all kinds of targets, so for example a frequency of 4 kHz will detect a very small target and a frequency of 18 kHz will detect a large, deep mass. However, the 18 kHz frequency will lead you to discover a relatively higher number of small targets that cannot compare with that achieved with a frequency of 4 kHz.

    Users familiar with the Gold Maxx Power have already had a foretaste of the reactivity of XP’s detectors. And even though Dēus is a particularly fast and selective detector, you now have the option of adjusting the...

With a low Reactivity level, the iron is detected for a longer duration, to the extent that it completely hides the ring. No sound With a medium Reactivity level, you begin detecting the ring.

    AUDIO CURVE Adjust the Audio Curve from 0 to 5 with MENU Exit with REACTIVITY AUDIO R. NOTCH The Audio Curve enables you to amplify the sound volume of distant DISC targets and therefore to be more alert to them. It gives the sensation of greater power, however it does not provide any additional depth as this setting only affects the sound curve (the dynamic range of sounds).

  • Page 18: Manual Mode

    General features The different levels of soil mineralisation you encounter when prospecting can sometimes affect the performance of your detector. For example, this may be due to natural magnetic mineralisation such as iron oxide, hot rocks and magnetite, or sporadic mineralisation from sites of former human settlement (also magnetic): hearths, pottery, hot rocks, slag, etc.
  • Page 19 Press Ground G.B. 4 modes are available: MANUAL - PUMPING - TRACKING - BEACH (ON / OFF) Go to Manual with G.B. Adjust with TRACKING MANUAL PUMPING Exit with BEACH You can manually adjust the ground rejection levels from 60 to 95 (Beach Off mode) or from 0 to 30 (Beach On mode) 90 is the default level, it is the most common level which enables you to reject all magnetic minerals found in the ground.

  • Page 20: Pumping Mode

    Pumping is a semi-automatic process which allows you to adjust the ground balance in a zone that you have determined as being representa- 15 cm tive of the mean level of the ground being prospected. Henceforth, the measured value of the ground is entered in memory and used as the new active ground balance value.

  • Page 21: Tracking Mode

    Indeed, within the same sweep of just one metre, a considerable variety of ground events may be encountered, ranging from one extreme to the other (values between 70 and 90): hot rocks, brick, slag, pottery interspersed with soil that is neutral or characterised by diverse mineralisation. This may be to such an extent that any mean value would be meaningless.

    Go to Beach with G.B. PUMPING Choose YES or NO with BEACH TRACKING MANUAL NO (60-95) Deactivates calculation of the ground balance for a highly saline zone. Leave it set to OFF if you are searching on dry sand away from the wet zone, or for searches away from the seashore.

  • Page 35 POWER SUPPLY-batteries The search coil, remote control and headphones are all powered by identical lithium polymer batteries. These miniature, high-capacity batteries can be recharged quickly. The different Dēus elements can be charged while switched on or off, but switching them off speeds up the process. You should use the power adaptor supplied, which enables all three elements to be charged simultaneously when used with the USB/3 mini-B cable, also supplied.
  • Page 36 The search coil battery is sealed for obvious reasons of safety and impermeability. It must be returned to our service department or an XP distributor for replacement. The batteries and the detector have a two-year guarantee for parts and labour.
  • Page 37 Always connect your power adaptor in an accessible, visible place to ensure that it can be unplugged quickly in the event of overheating or other problems. Use the special XP chargers in the recommended charging method to charge the battery, do not use other charger, that will cause the battery internal short-circuit and make it heat, smoke or burning.

  • Page 42 These partially discriminated iron objects often generate a few audible remnants of broken, inconsistent signals (crackling). Depending on your abilities and preferences, you may wish to remove this crackling using the Silencer. When you increase the value of the silencer you are applying a filter which eliminates the crackling caused by iron.
  • Page 43 PRACTICAL INFORMATION Metal detecting is a fascinating leisure activity that can bring you a lot of satisfaction. However, it requires a minimum of learning in order to get the most enjoyment. Begin by familiarising yourself with your equipment and its operation on a suitable practice ground. To do this, we recommend that you take an assortment of different objects: coins, everyday items, metal rubbish, etc.
  • Page 44 When you are detecting, you are free to choose the rate at which you move. For example, if you prefer to cover a zone at high speed while detecting, this will certainly give you a global ‘snapshot’ of the site. However, it is clear that this way of detecting will also leave large areas of ground unexplored between each sweep.
  • Page 45 Dēus is a precision device, designed to better address any detection constraints and be as robust as possible. Despite this, it is important to take care of it and exercise certain precautions in order to prolong its life: Do not store your device for long periods with discharged batteries. Ideally you should discharge/recharge the batteries at least once a month, and if possible store them 40 to 70% charged.
