For maximum depth detection do not turn this setting towards the right more than necessary The red arrow indicates a basic position suitable for most eround 14 DETECTING TECHNIQUES ADVENTIS 2 is motion detector which means that a target detection can be carried out only when the search coil is moving When you detect an area it is important to sweep with the head as close as possible to the ground with wide movements but not making contact with the eround Keep the head parallel to the ground following the relief as much as possible INCORRECT CORRECT To pinpoint a target use quick crossed sweeps with the coil over the target taking note of where the strongest audio signal is received The exact location of the target is under the centre line of the search coil from front to back and can then be determined by x ing If you feel the performance of your detector is not at it s best 1 The discrimination is too high c Set it in D1 mode with the discrimination control set to the equivalent of 2 o clock or less 2 The ground rejection is too high D Adjust GROUND control towards the equivalent of a 12 o clock position or less if the ground doesn t give false signals 15 CARE INSTRUCTIONS Our detectors are designed to be as robust as possible however like any electronic precision instrument they require some care The XP search coil cable has been designed so as to resist long term movem
