Chapter1 –INTRODUCTION



TheAventurahandheldmetaldetectorcanbeusedinavarietyoflocationsfordifferent

purposes.Itcanbeusedby:

‐ police,courts,prisonsandhighsecurityfacilities;

‐ airportsecurity,bordercontrol,customs,militaryfacilitiesandsecuritycheckpoints;

‐ public places like convention and exhibition centers, entertainment and cultural

locations,sportsfacilities,etc.;

‐ highsecurityfacilitieswherepreciousmetaldetectionisrequired,likemines,jewelry

factories,orotherfacilitiestopreventtheft;

‐ medicalandfoodquality inspection;

‐ metaldetectioninfactories,sawmillorplaygrounds.

1.1.Precautions



Turnoffpowerafteruse.ThemetaldetectorhasagreenLEDthatwillstayonwhilethe

powerisON.Ifnotturnedoff,theLEDwilldrainthebattery.

 If the metal detector is in constant contact with a metal surface, it will not sound or 

vibrate.Itwillsendalarmswhenusedforrepetitivescans.

 Use caution when charging the batteries. Use only rechargeable batteries, as non‐

rechargeableonescanexplodeandcausefire.

 Ifexternalpowerisused,batteriescanberemoved.

 Batteries are not included. If batteries are used Aventura recommends the use of

rechargeablebatteries.

1.2.Features



Thehandheldmetaldetectorhasthefollowingfeatures:

‐ Streamlineappearance,smallandeasytocarry;

‐ Easytouse,convenientandnoneedforadditionalsetting;

‐ Batterylevelindicator;

‐ Externalchargingportforcontinuousoperation; 

‐ AdjustableHigh and Low sensitivity levels. Low sensitivity can be used in areas

wherethere’stoo

2.2.Poweron



Thehandheldmetaldetectorhasapowerswitchwiththreepositions(seecallout10on

Image2.1.andTable2.1.a).ThecenterpositionwillturnOFFthepowertothedevi ce.TheUP

position (towards the front of the wand) will turn the device on, and will enable only the

vibration.TheDOWNposition(towardsthebottomofthewand)willturnthedeviceon,andwill

enableonlythesoundalarm.

Whenthedeviceison,thegreenLEDwillturnonandwillblink(callout8),andwillstay

on(blink)untildeviceisturnedoff.

If the power LED does not turn green, or there is a continuous sound or vibration, the

batteryisdepletedandneedstobereplaced.Replaceorrechargethebatteryandthentryagain.

You can also check the low battery indicator (see callout 2). If the LED is yellow, replace the

battery.



2.3.Detectionandsensitivityscanning



Oncethepoweristurnedon,andthedeviceissettovibrationoraudioalarm,usethe

detection areaof the metal detector (callout 1). Ifmetalis detected, the wand will vibrateor

makeasound.

Therearealsotwovisualindicators:aredLED(callout3)andasignalstrengthindicator

(callout6).Thesewillautomaticallyturnononcemetalisdetected.

The High sensitivity can be used in day to day operations. In special cases, the Low

sensitivitycanbeused.Usethesensitivitybutton(callout9)toreducethewandsensitivity ina

ratioof1:5(sensitivitywillbereducedfivetimes).Thisisrecommendedwhentheareaofinterest

issurroundedmymetalobjectsthatcouldtriggeranalarm.



2.4.Poweringandchargingthedevice



Thehandheldmetaldetectorhasthreewaysofoperation:battery,rechargeablebattery

andpoweredoperation.Nobatteriesaresuppliedwiththeunit.Theunitoperateswith9V(orE)

sizebatteries.

Before battery installation, observe the battery polarity. The battery socket is marked

withPositive(+)andNegative(‐)symbols.

When used with non‐rechargeable batteries, do not connect the

 unit to the 120Vac

[220Vac]charger.Thiscancauseafireorexplosion.

Whenusedwithrechargeablebatteries,theyellowLED(seecallout2)willindicatewhen

battery is running low. Connect the unit to the charger using the power jack (see callout  4).

Rechargingtimedependsontheselectedbatterycapacity.

Whenusedcontinuously,connectchargertotheunit.
