5. RCHING AND METAL DETECTION After the ground balance and sensitivity settings are adjusted you can start searching by lifting the search coil 5cm above the ground and sweeping it right and left keeping it parallel to the ground To avoid missing smaller and deeper targets sweep the search coil both from right to left and left to right over each area you are scanning slightly overlapping the sweeps as you move forward When the device detects a metal it PINPOINTING will produce an audible tone If the Gold device is in discrimination mode For pinpointing the exact location of the target move the Ferrous Monkees Teb oa AEE search coil over the target with short and faster slower 15 553 at the same time a NOKTA ENGINEERING eO SEARCHING AND METAL DETECTION SEARCH MODES ALL METAL All Metal This is the deepest mode of the device The device will not discriminate metals in this mode It will produce one warning tone for all metals and the LEDs on the metal discrimination indicator will not SEARCH MODE light up Discrimination In this mode the device will produce different tones based on metal type At the same time the LEDs on the handle will also light up based on metal type Depths in this mode may vary compared to All Metal mode The device has 2 tone audio discrimination and it has 2 different color LEDs for visual discrimination The device produces a different tone for Ferrous and for Gold Non Ferrou
6. Sense ground balance setting consists of 3 different levels 1 MID LEVEL Offers the most ideal and stable detection capability on different types of grounds without sacrificing depth 2 LEFT AREA Recommended for more precise detections and for experienced users The device may generate false signals in changing ground conditions even over holes dug for testing Therefore if you set the ground balance in this area you have to take oo this factor into consideration 3 RIGHT AREA Is used to eliminate high mineralized rocks and soils If you are on a highly mineralized ground and the device is still getting ground noise with the ground balance set at mid level turn the ground balance knob to the right in very small increments to eliminate the noise The most important thing to pay attention here is that as the ground balance goes into the right area the device will start losing depth for some non ferrous metals except for gold When the ground balance setting reaches the maximum point the device will detect iron and gold but it will not detect some non ferrous metals NOTE You may have to re adjust the sensitivity and ground balance settings while searching because as you change your location there may be changes in the ground or surrounding electromagnetic interferences as well Therefore you may need to repeat the above processes should your device starts receiving interference or noise SEARCHING AND METAL DETECTION 3 SEA

9. on to the following points before and during search in terms of device performance and getting accurate results 1 The device operates on the principle of motion This means that you must move the search coil over the target or the target over the search coil in order for the device to see it In other words metal detection is not possible without moving the search coil 2 Based on the same principle do not hold your search coil still over a detected target If the coil is held still over the target the device cancels out the process and does not see the target anymore When you start moving the coil again the device will resume detection 3 For correct metal detection the way you hold the shaft and sweep the search coil and keeping the coil parallel to the ground are very important factors Before starting to search please refer to the related sections in the manual pages 9 10 NOKTA ENGINEERING TURNING ON THE DEVICE AND SETTINGS TURNING ON THE DEVICE Rotate the sensitivity knob to maximum and the ground balance knob to the mid level SENSITIVITY BALANCE ALL METAL IRON OFF To turn on the device rotate the search mode knob to the desired mode Turn the same knob to OFF position to when you want to turn off the device SEARCH MODE Ferrous When the device is turned on a melody will be heard and both LEDs on the handle will light up N r Ferrous Approximately 20 seconds later the LEDs on the handle will go
