Description of Controls
The
VOLUME
on/off control turns on your detector and adjusts the volume
level.
WARNING:
the volume output is very loud so be sure to start off
testing your headphones without having them on your ears! Headphones
are different with some having volume controls and some not - so be
cautious when learning where to set your volume level. A
VOLUME
setting
of just slightly more than “2” may be more than enough. Detecting without
headphones and keeping the volume around “3”, may be all that you need –
the external speaker can become very LOUD.
The
FREQUENCY
control changes the operating frequency of the metal
detector (+/- 60Hz) in order to avoid external interference caused by other
metal detectors or other power sources. Normally keep set on MAX. If after
turning your machine on you hear “chatter” adjust the frequency control
until quiet.
The
GROUND MODE
switch toggles back and forth between
MANUAL
and
AUTO
ground balance.
The
AUTO ZONES
toggle switch is functional only when the
GROUND
MODE
toggle switch is set to
AUTO
. As a general guide:
- Auto Zone 1: soils with black and/or negative mineralization
- Auto Zone 2: not mineralized or weakly mineralized soils
- Auto Zone 3: soils with a color and/or positive mineralization
The
GROUND RUDELY
control is for “coarse” ground balance control
The
GROUND FINELY
control is for “fine” ground balance control
The
THRESHOLD
control allows you to operate with a slight chatter or
silent. Normal settings are “4-6” depending on user preference.
The
SILENCER
control is used for eliminating external noise caused by
ground conditions or external interference caused by power lines, etc.
Normal settings are between “0-2” when no interference is present. In more
difficult dirt, a higher silencer level may be required to run stable.
The
DISCRIMINATOR
toggle switch adjusts the degree or power of
discrimination. Level “I” is the strongest and used when there are a lot of
contaminants in the ground and Level “III” being the weakest is used with
less harsh conditions.
