ATI (Audio Target Identification)
Though the LCD can display the buried ob
-
ject , user in the field does not always keep
the display screen in his vision. Therefore,
we have incorporated an audio feedback to
alert the user the nature of buried objects.
This audio feedback system first alerts the
user the presence and classification of ob
-
jects, whose nature and location can be
confirmed by the LCD display.
The 3-tone audio target identification sys
-
tem functions only in the motion modes of
DISC, NOTCH or AUTO-NOTCH. In ALL
METAL mode, the detector will emit only
a monotone sound.
The detector can sound three different
tones, depending on the object detected.
LOW TONE – Bottle caps, nickel coins (5¢)
small gold objects will induce a low tone.
MEDIUM TONE – Pull-Tabs, S-CAPS, zinc
coins, Newer pennies (post-1982), gold ob
-
jects will induce medium tone.
HIGH TONE – 1¢(1950), 10¢, 25¢ and 50¢
will cause high tone.
IN THE FIELD
TECHNIQUE
Reading the display
1. Target Indicator
The LCD shows the probable type of the
target, as well as the probable depth of the
target. The detector will register a repeat
-
ing, unchanging target identification when
a buried target has been located and iden
-
tified. If the search coil repeatedly passes
over the same spot, the target identifica
-
tion reads inconsistently, the target is
probably a trash item, or oxidized metal.
With practice, you will learn to unearth
only the place with repeatable signals out.
Also, the greater the distance between the
target and the coil, the less accurate the
target identification.
GOLD
– Gold objects will register on the
left side of the LCD scale and will regis
-
ter depending on its size. The smaller the
gold object, the further to the left it will reg
-
ister. Gold foil will register on the far-left
side (same as Iron), Large gold items will
register in S-cap or Zinc.
IRON -
Ferrous objects will register on the
far-left side of the target scale. Objects in
this category could be worthless scrap, or
more valuable iron relics.
5¢ - Nickel and new pull tabs will register
here.
Pull-Tabs –
Pull-tabs of older beverage
cans will register here. Few new pull-tabs
will also register here. Many gold rings will
also register here.
S-CAPS -
Bottle caps with whorl and
some small gold will register here.
