DETECTOR NOT OPERATING ?
(a) Check the condition of batteries under load using the meter. (See Battery Check Procedure)
(b) Check that the search head is properly attached to the control box via the search head cable
connector.
(c) Interchange batteries and ensures connections are correct and secure. Battery life can vary
tremendously between makes, therefore your ’new’ batteries may already be insufficiently
powerful to run the detector.
Oscillating Signal Accompanied By Slight Meter Fluctuation
(a) This could be due to poor battery connections. Ensure that they are tight and the batteries are
securely clipped into place.
(b) Loose search head cable connection - tighten.
(c) Interference from a vehicle using a radio transmitter or possibility a stationary source of
electromagnetic radiation - if this occurs then reduce the sensitivity. If the problem persists then
the best remedy is to wait until the transmission stops.
Intermittent Sound From Speaker
(a) This could be due to poor battery connections. Ensure that they are tight and the batteries are
securely clipped into place.
(b) Loose search head cable connection - tighten.
(c) Radio interference (see above).
The Detector Drifts Out Of Tune
(a) Temperature drift caused by change in air temperature when a machine is move from a house or
car into the open. The greater the change in temperature the more the drift, and in severe
conditions up to 30 minutes may be needed for the electronic circuitry to acclimatise itself.
(b) Sometimes battery drain can cause drift of signal. Replace batteries and this should help to
maintain a stable signal.
