Operating Instructions

Band
Frequency bands are used to prevent crosstalk between adjacent metal detectors that are
operating on the same frequency.
The options are OFF, or 1 through 10. If OFF is selected then all seventy (70) frequencies, 31
through 882, will be available for use for all products, making frequency selection and
subsequent Learns a manual process.
If a band number is selected then the 7 frequencies available in that band are used by the
metal detector when selecting the optimum inspection frequency for any product.
The available frequencies are banded as listed below, with all values shown in kHz:
o
Band 1:
31, 71, 111, 203, 300, 405 and 576
o
Band 2:
33, 73, 115, 208, 319, 416 and 600
o
Band 3:
35, 75, 121, 211, 326, 428 and 625
o
Band 4:
37, 77, 126, 217, 333, 441 and 652
o
Band 5:
39, 79, 131, 223, 340, 454 and 681
o
Band 6:
41, 81, 136, 231, 348, 468 and 714
o
Band 7:
43, 83, 141, 238, 357, 500 and 750
o
Band 8:
46, 85, 146, 242, 365, 517 and 789
o
Band 9:
48, 87, 151, 250, 375, 535 and 833
o
Band 10:
52, 89, 156, 254, 384, 555 and 882

Default
With banding set to OFF the initial operating frequency for all products defaults to the lowest
available of 31KHz. This of course can be changed to whichever frequency it is desired to
start from.
When banding is set then it is recommended to set the default frequency as suggested by the
following:
O
Aperture dimension in the range of 75 - 125mm - depending upon the band selected, use
the 405kHz upwards range.
o
Aperture dimension in the range of 150 - 200mm - depending upon the band selected,
use the 300kHz upwards range.
O
Aperture dimension in the range of 225 - 300mm - depending upon the band selected,
use the 203kHz upwards range.
O
Aperture dimension in the range of 325 - 550mm - depending upon the band selected,
use the 111kHz upwards range.
Any change made to the value after the Head menu is exited will change all product
memories back to the new value selected. Therefore it is advised not to revisit this entry
unless necessary.

Ferrite frequency
The IQ
3
Metal Detector uses a product called “Ferrite” to provide a pre-set compensation
value that the detector can recall to use with any product that when learnt exhibits no signals
when passed through the detector aperture. The ferrite frequency is normally set to the same
value as the default frequency.
Irrespective of whether banding is used or not the „Ferrite“ product has to be set up using the
“Tune for resistive” clear plastic wand found within the control box area.
