Master-200 Edition Metal Detector Master-200 Edition Metal Detector 8/15 BC436
Notes Before Use - This metal detector is a professional metal detector. As a sophisticated electronic device, the most difficult aspects in metal detecting have been preset. CONTENTS Terminology 4 Preparation 5 Parts of the Metal Detector 5 Assembly 5 Batteries 6 Control Panel 7 LCD Screen 7 Basic Controls 8 Basic Operation 8 - Always begin at a low sensitivity level when using. After you have become familiar with the detector, you may try it at full sensitivity.
Terminology The following terms are used throughout the manual. Elimination Reference to a metal being “eliminated” means that the detector will not emit a tone, nor light up an indicator, when a specified object passes through the coil’s detection field. Discrimination When the detector emits different tones for different types of metals, and when the detector “eliminates” certain metals, we refer to this as the detector “discriminating” among different types of metals.
3. Press the silver button on the upper end of the lower stem and slide the lower stem into the upper stem. Adjust the stem to a length that you feel comfortable when you stand upright with the detector in your hand, and the search coil is level with the ground with your arm relaxed at your side. Then rotate the locking nut counter-clockwise to tighten. 4. Wind the search coil cable around the stem. Insert the search coil’s plug into the search coil jack on the detector’s control housing. 5.
Basic Controls TRAC several times to eliminate ordinary minerals and ores. The detector sounds a medium tone to all targets detected. DISC,NOTCH and AUTO-NOTCH Modes are motion modes: There are 3 tones to identify different metals in these modes. Detector can work in auto-ground balance. Sensitivity is adjustable, while GND BAL is not available in these modes. To reject the trash metal, you may adjust DISC or NOTCH range.
and the probable target identification is indicated by the arrows at the top of the display. SENS shows current sensitivity level. While DEPTH indicates the probable target depth. Adjusting Target NOTCH Range In NOTCH mode, press ADJ to enter into DISC/NOTCH range setting status. LCD display bar blinks. Press + or - touch pad , one of the arrows in target indicator will flash, press ENT to accept or reject the corresponding metal target.
Gold Low Tone Bottle caps, nickel coins (5¢) small gold objects will induce a low tone. Medium Tone Pull-Tabs, S-CAPS, zinc coins, Newer pennies (post-1982), gold objects will induce medium tone. High Tone 1¢(1950), 10¢, 25¢ and 50¢ will cause high tone. Using the Detector Reading the Display Target Indicator The LCD shows the probable type of the target, as well as the probable depth of the target.
NOTE: Depth value indication of same target in air is different from that of under the ground. Indoor Testing Supplies Needed - A Nail - A Quarter - A 1¢ (post-1982) 1. Remove any metal items that you may be wearing. 2. Turn on the detector. 3. Place the detector on a wooden or plastic table and adjust the search coil so the flat part points upwards toward the ceiling. 5. When in DISC, NOTCH or AUTO-NOTCH mode, evenly sweep the nail 10-12cm above the flat face of the search coil.
disappears from detection at a given angle, chances are that you are detecting oxidized ferrous metals, rather than a silver or copper object. If the tone changes at different angles, you may have encountered multiple objects. If you are new to the hobby, you may want to dig all targets at first. With practice in the field, you will learn to better discern the nature of buried objects by the nature of the detector’s response. You may encounter some false signals as you proceed.
Trouble Shooting 1 YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY Detector emits false signal in field use. Sensitivity is set too high, please lower the sensitivity till the false signal disappears. Move the search coil slowly. Oxidized metal may cause the false signal. If the signal is not repeatable when search coil swept over a target, the target usually is a trash. LCD displays multiple target categories or emits several sounds at one time. There might be over one kind of metal, or the detector cannot identify the target.
