MESSAGES
Kruzer
has software update capability. All software updates made after the device is
released to the market will be announced on the product's web page along with updating
instructions.
System Version Information:
To see the software version of the
Kruzer
's system card and LCD, while the device is OFF,
press the plus (+) and minus (-) buttons simultaneously and turn the unit on. Continue to
hold the buttons depressed until you can read the software version. The major version will
be shown in the Target ID section and the minor version in the GB window.
SOFT WARE UPDATE
Warning messages are shown at the bottom of the display. Messages that may appear are
as follows:
Overload
It appears on the display simultaneously with the overload alarm. This happens when the
search coil encounters a near surface or a very large object. The device reverts back to
normal operation if you lift the coil up. If the alarm and the message continue along a long
line, you may be over a long metal such as a pipe.
In case of high mineralization, the device may overload. If the cause of overloading is not a
large metal, it may be the ground itself and this situation may be overcome by lowering the
gain.
Pump Coil
This message appears when the GB button is pressed for ground balancing. It does not
indicate any error or problem. It only indicates what should be done.
Check Coil
It indicates an interruption in the search coil transmitter signal. The search coil connector
may be unattached, loose or disconnected. If you own another detector with the same coil
connector, please be sure that you have not attached the wrong coil by mistake. If none of
the above exists, the search coil or its cable may have a defect. If the issue continues when
you change the search coil, there may be an issue in the coil control circuit.
The key to detecting targets under mineralized rocks, particularly when positive rocks are in
question, is the knowledge of the maximum ID value produced by the surrounding positive
rocks. If you are performing a search in the General Search mode (GEN), monitor the ID
produced by the device. If the ID provided by your device is close to the rock and iron zone,
it is quite possible that you detected a target under the rock. In the case of using DISC. in the
GEN mode, all rocks below the Disc. level will produce a low iron tone and all above will
produce a higher tone.
If you filter off the rocks with a correctly adjusted DISC. setting in discrimination modes, you
can hear the signal of the target under the rock if the target signal has a slightly greater effect
than the filtered ID. The important thing here is that if you detect a target and dig out a rock,
you should note the ID you got before digging and use it as the Disc. value the next time.
For instance; the hot rocks in your search field tend to give IDs around 00-01. In this case,
you should set the DISC. to maximum 02. This way you can eliminate rocks and receive the
signals of metals underneath. If you set the Disc. too high unnecessarily, you will lose metals
along with rocks.
If the hot rocks in your search area tend to give high IDs, then the chances of missing the
signals of small metals underneath will be high as well.
IMPORTANT!
When searching in fields with hot rocks, using the E.U.D feature (page 23) is
recommended to avoid missing metals under hot rocks.
SEARCHING ON THE BEACH AND UNDERWATER
Kruzer
is a waterproof metal detector. This provides convenient detection underwater and
on the beach.
As explained before, salt water and alkali grounds are significantly conductive and cause
effects similar to iron in detectors.
Kruzer
's BEACH mode is specially designed for such
conditions. You can perform your search easily using the BEACH mode without requiring
any special settings.
BEACH mode is ideal for salty wet beach sand. You can use the other modes while
performing search over dry beach sand.
You should consider the following while performing search over wet beach sand or
underwater:
1)
When you swing the search coil over the holes you dig in wet beach sand, you can receive
metal signals, this is a normal condition.
2)
The search coil may give false signals when going into and coming out of the water so
please try to keep the coil either in or out of the water.
Pay attention to the items below after using the device especially under salty water:
1. Wash the system box, shaft and the coil with tap water and be sure no salt water is left
in the connectors.
2. Do not use any chemicals for cleaning and/or for any other purposes.
3. Wipe the screen and the shaft dry with a soft, non-scratch cloth.
