6. sensitivity indicator
The target indicator consists of an LCD display and
target icons. When the detector locates an object, an arrow appears below the target icon
of the type of material that’s probably being detected. The depth of the target is also
displayed.
- If the detector receives a strong signal, the arrow appears steadily. If the signal is weak, the arrow blinks or
does not appear.
- The target icons are only visual references to help you decide whether or not an item is worth investigating.
GOLD RANGE
-
Iron/foil ( ): indicates that the target is probably iron or foil. Some oxidized iron might actually register
somewhere within the SILVER range.
- Nickel ( ): indicates that the target is probably a nickel object.
- Pull tab ( ): indicates that the target is probably a pull tab from an aluminium can. Some rough gold items
might register within the pull tab category.
- S-CAPS ( ): indicates that the target is probably a type of metal like a bottle cap with whorl. Some small
gold items might register within this category.
- Zinc/copper ( ): indicated that the target might be a zinc or copper object. Some larger gold items might
register within the 1¢ category.
SILVER RANGE
-
10¢/1¢ ( ): indicates that the target is probably an old 1¢, 10¢ or aluminium coin.
- 25¢ ( ): indicates that the target is probably a 25¢ or a small silver coin. Some larger aluminium coins
might register within this category.
- 50¢ ( ): indicates that the target is probably a 50¢ coin. Some larger silver coins might register within this
category.
3. Tones
If the detector is set to the ALL-METAL mode, it sounds a single tone when it detects any type of metal.
If you set the detector to the DISC or NOTCH modes, the built-in audio identification system sounds a unique
audio tone for each of the three categories of metal. This makes it easier to identify the metal being detected.
- The detector sounds a low tone when it detects small gold objects, a nail, a bottle cap or nickel.
- The medium tone is for aluminium pull tabs, zinc or copper items. Depending on the alloys used to make
them, about 15 percent of gold rings cause the detector to sound a medium tone.
- A high tone is for brass or silver items. Highly oxidized iron may generate a medium or high tone.
4. Preparation
a. Assembling your Metal Detector
Assembling your detector is easy and requires no special tools. Just follow these steps:
1. Remove the fixation system of the search coil (nut and bolt system). Insert the stem and align the holes on
the search coil bracket and the stem. Push the bolt through the holes and tighten with the nut knob.
CAUTION: Do not tighten the search coil fixation too hard. Do not use tools such as pliers to tighten it.
2. Insert the arm support into the end of the stem and tighten the lock screw at the back of the control housing.
