• The pointer on the analogue display (5) indicates the battery status. If the pointer is in the green area with name

“BATT”,thebatterystatusisOK.Ifthepointercomestorestoutsideofthegreenarea(3-6),thebatterystatusis

nolongeradequate.Inthatcase,thebatteriesmustbereplaced.

• Slidethebatterytestswitch(9)tothe“OPERATE”positionagaintoreturntosearchmode.Inthisposition,youcan

begin metal detection.

 Testthebatterystatusintheeventofamalfunctionornoresponsefromthemetaldetector,e.g.ifthemetal

detectordoesn’tswitchon,ifyoucan’tadjustthesettings,ifthevolumeistooloworifthemetaldetector

doesn’t respond properly.

10. Description of functions

a) Operating principle

This product works with the VLF method (low-frequency method). A metal detector of this type consists of a transmitter

coil,areceivercoilandswitchingcircuitswithmicroprocessor,whichprocessesthesignals.Theoutercoilinthe

detection probe is the transmitter. An alternating current with a frequency of 20 kHz is sent through this coil. This

createsamagneticeld,whosedirectionalongtheverticalaxisisalignedtotheground.Thismagneticeldinducesa

currentintometallicobjectshiddenintheground.Inturn,thiscreatesamagneticeldinthereceivercoilopposedto

theinducingmagneticeld.Thisislocatedinsidethetransmittercoil.Owingtotheinductance,inducingandinduced

currentowaretimedelayed.Thisphaseshiftinthecurrentsinthetransmitterandreceivercoilsisusedtodetermine

the metal type of the object hidden in the ground.

b) Metal differentiation (discrimination)

Eachmetaltypeshowsacharacteristicvalueofphaseshift,allowingonemetaltypetobedifferentiationfromanother.

Differentiation of the metals by phase shift is referred to as discrimination (differentiation). Metallic objects primarily

withinductiveresistance,i.e.largeobjectsmadefromgoodconductors(gold,silver,copper),showalargephaseshift.

Metallicobjectswitharatherohmicresistance,i.e.smallobjectsmadefrompoorconductors,showsmallerphase

shifts. Please consult the following list with approximate conductivity values for the various conductors (metals and

electrolytes).

Headphone jack (10) Connect suitable headphones to the 3.5 mm jack. The in-built loudspeaker is

switched off.

Battery test switch (9) Use this switch to select the operating mode and battery test mode.

b) Switching on and off

• The VOLUMEdial(6)isinthe“OFF”position.Themetaldetectorisswitchedoff.

• Turn the VOLUMEdial(6)clockwisetoswitchthemetaldetectoron.Aftertheaudibleandtactileclick,themetal

detector is switched on. An audible signal is emitted.

• Turn the VOLUMEdial(6)anticlockwisetoswitchthemetaldetectoroff.Aftertheaudibleandtactileclick,themetal

detectorisswitchedoff(“OFF”position).

c) Default setting - TUNE

This setting needs to be congured to ensure that the metal detector gives consistent results and to prevent

interference or false signals.

 Thedefaultsettingmustbereconguredbeforeeachuse,whenmovingtoadifferentsearchareaand

when the ambient conditions change. Repeat this setting process after each reboot of the device.

• Ensure that the detection probe (1) is kept away from metallic parts and other sources of interference above ground

(e.g.uorescenttubes).Raisethedetectionprobe(1)atleast30cmfromthegroundandholdinanopenspace.

• Turn the VOLUME dial (6) clockwise to switch the metal detector on.

• Movethebatterytestswitch(9)tothe“OPERATE”position.

• Turn the VOLUME dial (6) clockwise to approximately 11 o’clock.

• Turn the DISCRIMINATION dial (7) to approximately the centre position.

• Pressandholdthepushbutton(8)onthehandlewithyourngerandslowlyturntheTUNE dial (11) clockwise until

thepointerontheanaloguedisplay(5)pointstozero.Ifnecessary,movethedialbackwardsandforwardsslightly

untilyoundthecorrectposition.

• Ifyouhearanaudiblesignal(*)whilesetting,itshouldbecomesilentinthisposition,orbevirtuallyimpossibleto

hear.Thedeviceisnowreadyfor“treasurehunting”.Othersettingscanbecarriedoutduringoperation.Further

information can be found in the following chapters.

• Press the push button (8) again if you need to reset the pointer to the zero position during use.

Adjust the default setting again as soon as the circumstances of the search change and then differ from

theprevioussetting,e.g.ifyougofromdrysoiltomoistsoil.Soilswithahighcontentofironminerals

haveferromagneticproperties.Theseferroussoilsgenerateasignalinthemetaldetector,whichmaybe

stronger than the one from a metallic object. This phenomenon is especially apparent in a soil with a high

saltwatercontent.Surfacesofthistype,however,haveaveryconstantphaseshift,sothatwithprecise

adjustment,signaldifferentiationofametalsignalfromthegroundispossible.

d) Setting the discrimination - DISCRIMINATION

The metal detector can be set to the response for various metals located during the search. You can differentiate

between ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Proceed as follows to set the discrimination:

• Turn the DISCRIMINATION dial (7) clockwise until approximately the centre of the scale. This enables metal

differentiationformostcommonstandardapplications. If you want to differentiate othermetaltypes,youcan

implement higher settings. The metal differentiation setting is at the maximum level when the dial is turned as far

as it will go.

 Whenyouchangethediscriminationsettings,themetaldetectorneedstoberetunedeachtime.See

section“c)Defaultsetting-TUNE”formoreinformation.

12. Handling the metal detector

a) Testing reactions to different metals

Inordertosucceedonthe“treasurehunt”,youneedtoknowhowyourmetaldetectorrespondstodifferentmetals,

theirlocationanddistancewhendetected.Inordertogainexperience,youshouldcarryoutvarioustestsathome

using different metals and different detection angles. Test the handling of the metal detector before a search using

differentkindsofmetal(coins,rings,silvercutlery,etc.)inordertofamiliariseyourselfwiththedeviceandtogain

experience.Tryoutthedetectorrstathome.Thetestsetupshouldnotinabuildingonaoororceiling,asinmany

cases,oorscontainmetalsupportsandreinforcingsteel.Werecommendusingaplasticorwoodentablewithno

steelcomponents,onwhichyoucanlayoutthevariousobjects.

• Before conducting a test, remove sources of interference such as electronic devices (wearables), jewellery,

watches and rings.

• Place the metal detector on a wooden or plastic table with no interfering metals nearby. Set the detection probe (1)

sothattheatsideofthesearchcoilpointsupwardsinthescales.

• Move the metallic test object backwards and forwards over the search probe at a low height.

• Detecttheindividualobjectsmadefromknownmaterials,suchascoins,watches,rings,jewellery,oldiron,etc.Note

thecorrespondingindicators,audiblesignalsanddistances.Practiseuntilyoucanclearlyidentifytheindicatorsand

audible signals without making mistakes.

• Hold the metallic test object at different angles and note how the audible signal changes.

• Repeatthisprocesswithtestobjectsmadefromdifferent,knownmetals.

b) Interpreting the indicator and audible signals

Switch the metal detector on. An audible signal sounds before default setting. When a metallic object is found during

thesearch,theindicatorandaudiblesignalaredependentonanumberofdifferentfactorsandsettings.

• The strength of the pointer movement on the analogue display (5) indicates the distance of a found signal (usually

the metal). The pointer movement is a measure of the signal strength. The audible signal becomes louder the closer

the detection probe (1) is to the signal source; it is reduced as you move farther away.

• When the differentiation threshold for metal discrimination is set to the minimum position on the DISCRIMINATION

dial(7),metalsarerecordedandindicateduniformly.Themetaldetectorrstlyeliminatesferrousmetals.Whenthe

DISCRIMINATIONdial(7)issetfullyclockwisetothemaximumposition,themetaldetectoreliminatesthinmetal

lm,thenthickerlmsandthensmallaluminiumparts,accordingtothecurrentsetting.

• When a metal set on the DISCRIMINATION(7)dialaseliminatedisfound,thepointerontheindicatormoves

anticlockwiseintotheleft-handsectionoftheanaloguedisplay(5).Aquieteraudiblesignalisemitted,or no signal

atall.Themetaltypeisaudiblyeliminated.Ifnometalhasbeeneliminated,theanaloguepointermovesintheright-

handsectionoftheanaloguedisplay(5)only.Whenanon-eliminatedmetaloranalloyhasbeendifferentiated,the

pointermovesanticlockwiseintotheright-handhalfoftheanaloguedisplay(5).Anaudiblesignalisemittedwhich,

dependingontheproximityandsize,isquieterorlouder.

False signals

• Anoscillatingsignalisusuallycausedbyexternalinterference(e.g.uorescenttubes,radios,electricalcablesand

other metal detectors). This cannot be eliminated by adjusting the settings.

• Identifying false signals requires practice and experience.

c) Interference

False signals can occur for the following reasons:

• The sensitivity is too high.

• The metal detector was moved too quickly or at an incorrect angle.

The analogue display (5) indicated the wrong metal type.

• There are several different metallic objects.

• The object consists of an alloy that the metal detector cannot recognise.

• The metallic object is heavily oxidised.

• The sensitivity is too high.

• Themorethepointerontheanaloguedisplay(5)moves,thelargertheobject(ortheshallowertheobjectfor

smaller objects).

• The pointer on the analogue display (5) moves most strongly with highly conductive metals. If the pointer on the

analoguedisplay(5)doesnotmovesignicantlyeachtimethedetectionprobeismovedovertheareathatyou

suspectmaycontainanobject,thisprobablyindicatesthatthereisonlyscrapmetal.

• The success/accuracy of the metal location depends on several factors. These include:

- The angle at which the object is inserted into the ground (detection plane)

- The depth of the object

- The object’s degree of oxidation

- The size of the object

- Electromagnetic and electrical interference (e.g. underground cables) in the vicinity of the object

• Duetothesefactors,itisimportantthatyoufamiliariseyourselfwiththemetaldetectorandhowitrespondsbefore

attempting to search for objects.

d) Moving the metal detector when searching for objects

• A professional movement pattern when locating metal requires practice to achieve success. Proceed as follows for

the best search results:

• Movethedetectionprobeinwavylinesacrossthetargetarea.Seethegure

to the left.

• Keep the detection probe (1) at a uniform height above the ground (approx.

3-5cm).Ideally,thedetectionprobe(1)shouldalwaysmoveparalleltothe

ground. Let the search width overlap somewhat (approx. 50 %).

• Never move the detection probe as if it were a pendulum. Pendulum

movementsaroundaxedpointmakeacirculararc.Inthatcase,thedistances

to the ground change in an arc thereby changing the detection of the metal

detector. Only oscillate the detection probe (1) if you are searching in ground

depressionsordips,inordertoremainparalleltotheground.

• Swinging or lifting the detection probe will result in incorrect detection results

(seetheguretotheleft).

• Move the detection probe slowly in order to ensure that all small objects are detected.

e) Isolating the detected object

• Witha littlepractice, youcanidentifyanobject’spreciselocation. Ifthe detection

coilndsahiddenobject,holdthedetectionprobe(1)preciselyabovethisposition.

• Move the detection probe (1) forwards and backwards and from side to side in

increasingly small movements. Mark the route accordingly. Remember where the

detector generates a signal and systematically circle in on the location with ever

smaller movements. Repeat the whole process at an angle that crosses the initial

searchdirection.Theintersectionpointofbothlines,asinahaircross,indicatesthe

highest signal intensity. It is the starting point for the signal from the located object.

f) Using headphones

The control unit (13) contains a loudspeaker as well as a 3.5 mm headphone jack (10). The loudspeaker usually emits

theaudiblesignals.Whenheadphonesareconnected,theintegratedloudspeakerisswitchedoff.

 Whenheadphonesareconnected,movetheVOLUME dial (6) anticlockwise as far as it will go before

switchingthedeviceon.Otherwise,thereisariskofdamagetoyourhearingduetohighvolume.

• Connect your headphones to the 3.5 mm headphone jack (10) in the control unit (13).

• The external loudspeaker is switched off. Adjust the volume slowly and carefully to a safe level. You will now hear

the location/detection signals in the headphones only.

Connection of suitable headphones saves power and thus increases the life of the batteries. It is also easier

to hear the changes in signals when searching by ear.

13. Troubleshooting

Problem Possible cause Solution

The metal detector gives false

visual indications or audible signals.

The metal detector was

moved too quickly or at

an incorrect angle.

Move the detection probe (1) slowly and hold

the metal detector at the correct angle.

The metal detector indicates a

different metal type or the pitch of

the audible signals is not the same.

There may be another

metallic object in the

detection area.

Recover the object and search the same area

again.

The metal detector

emits a false signal for a

heavily oxidised metal.

This is not a malfunction and cannot be

changed.
