CONGRATULATIONS ON THE PURCHASE OF YOUR XP METAL DETECTOR 

AND WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF RESEARCH AND EXPLORATION!

TECHNICAL INTRODUCTION

The XP Dēus 

is innovative in terms of metal detector design as it offers a unique design based on three 

elements communicating via a digital radio link. The search coil, remote control and headphones 
have each been made independent through the integration of very compact, high-capacity lithium 
batteries. 

An ultra-miniature electronic circuit, incorporated into the search coil, digitises and analyses the 
signals. Data is then sent to the headphones and remote control in real time via a digital radio link. 
With this method, the signal is processed at source and not conveyed via a wire link, which greatly 
improves data quality. 

Incorporating components from leading-edge technologies such as scientific instrumentation has 
enabled us to produce a powerful, rapid, lightweight, compact and fully controllable digital detector.

Whether you are an experienced user or a beginner, the Dēus lets you decide whether or not to 

modify any of its settings. Powerful pre-configured factory programs enable all users to get started 
immediately, while expert detectorists can choose more advanced parameters via the intuitive inter-
face.

What is described in this manual as the "Remote Control" is in fact the user interface, known as the 
‘control box’ on conventional detectors. It enables the detector’s many functions to be precisely 
adjusted via a graphical interface. It can also receive program updates (via internet) through its USB 
socket.

The Dēus 

is also exceptional in being able to function without the remote control, with just the 

coil and the wireless headphones, for an even more compact, lightweight configuration !

Like the remote control, the headphones contain all the components needed for detection,  they 
are a genuine control unit in themselves, but on an ultra-miniature scale and rain proof. They take 
over in the absence of the remote control for adjusting the detector settings.With the headphones 
you can turn the Dēus on and off, change the main detection settings such as sensitivity, discrimina-
tion, ground balance, tone, frequency (from 4  to 80 kHz depending on the selected search coil ), 
volume, etc. as well as selecting the factory programs or those previously configured with the remote 
control !  

Performance is identical whether you are searching with or without the remote control !

Lastly, the new patented XP stem has the combined advantages of an S-shaped stem and a straight 
telescopic stem. It enables you to deploy or fold away the device in just a few seconds, and to change 
the coil in an instant. Its user-friendly design ensures comfort and convenience for the user: length 
adjustable by millimetre increments, improved operating angle and shaped rubber handle for a firm, 
controlled grip. 

So now you’re ready for a new adventure!

You have invested in a high-tech metal detector capable of exceptional performance, which has 
been designed and developed in France. You are therefore helping our Company to further 
expand our research in the field of metal detecting and we thank you for your contribution.
