Introduction The BLISSTOOL LTC64X v3 is an induction balance metal detector that has the ability to go DEEP in even the harshest of soil conditions. Unlike other VLF machines, the gain does not need to be at high levels to penetrate great depths. In certain ground conditions, the BLISSTOOL will work better at lower gain settings. Gain, GROUND MODE and DISCR DEPTH settings all work together to achieve optimal performance.

Assembling your BLISSTOOL metal detector 1. The search coil is connected to the lower connecting rod utilizing the supplied spacers, plastic bolt and plastic nut. 2. The upper part of the lower connecting rod is attached to the lower part of the intermediate connecting rod via the small fixing ring, and adjusted to the appropriate length.
Description of Controls The VOLUME on/off control turns on your detector and adjusts the volume level. WARNING: the volume output is very loud so be sure to start off testing your headphones without having them on your ears! Headphones are different with some having volume controls and some not - so be cautious when learning where to set your volume level. A VOLUME setting of just slightly more than “2” may be more than enough.
The recommended position of the DISCRIMINATOR toggle switch is: - “I” - for terrain with a high degree of mineralization, terrain with a high content of ore and slag, and for terrain with hot rocks - “II” - for terrain with a medium to high degree of mineralization - “III” - for terrain with a low to medium degree of mineralization Most often you should use the DISCRIMINATOR toggle switch on level “III” and you will still cancel out iron while hearing deep non-ferrous targets.
Getting Started Before initial use, please charge the LiPo battery at least 4 hours (from 4 to 12 hours), using the automatic LiPo battery charger provided. Now that you have your BLISSTOOL charged, assembled and ready to go, let’s review the initial set up step by step. We will also have these steps on our website www.BlisstoolUSA.com in printable form so you can have them out in the field if needed. Your BLISSTOOL induction balance metal detector is unlike any other metal detector you have used before.
loud in all three AUTO ZONES settings when the coil is lowered to the ground, you’re not ground balanced. If this happens, lower your GAIN to “3” and repeat the same procedure. In some highly mineralized dirt you may need to lower your GAIN to or just under “1” in order to achieve ground balance. If you cannot get your BLISSTOOL to ground balance in GROUND MODE AUTO, switch to GROUND MODE MAN (at this point the AUTO ZONES toggle position has no effect).
General Pointers The BLISSTOOL is a true Beep-n-Dig machine. There is no meter, no tone ID and no unnecessary “bells and whistles”. Perfect balancing with no filters = extreme depth! When the machine is set correctly, good targets sound loud and clear while iron will crackle and break up. If you think you are hearing a good target from one angle but it breaks up from all other directions, it is 99% iron. Turning down the THRESHOLD can lower your sensitivity to some extremely deep targets.
A target at 3” will sound like a target at 12” because the signal is either there or not…. Sort of like a light switch being on or off. When you hear a loud beep, don’t assume it’s shallow. If your target repeats nicely but disappears when the coil is lifted a few inches off the ground, your target is either deep or very small. A coin size object that is only 4” deep will still sound strong even if your coil is 6” above the ground. Bury a coin and practice this technique for probable depth.
Battery Your BLISSTOOL LTC64X v3 is equipped with a high quality, low weight and long life LiPo battery 11.1V, 2200mAh The LiPo battery has about 800 cycles of charge-discharge (battery life), after which time it must be replaced with a new battery. A full charge lasts 30 hours. With a life of 800 charge-discharge cycles, you are looking at up to 24,000 hours of operation before the battery needs replacing. LiPo batteries do not have a memory.
Warranty Support and Service The BLISSTOOL LTC64X v3 metal detector has a 3 year worldwide transferable warranty covering the components and any factory flaws. If the electronic block (control “box”) is tampered with or the integrity of the seals placed on the lid of the electronic block is opened, the warranty is not valid.
RoHS Compliant BLISSTOOL LTC64X is RoHS compliant When RoHS compliant symbol is marked on your product it means that it is compatible with European Directive 2002/95/EC (RoHS, Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive). With this directive, the EU recommended limiting the use and incorporation of harmful materials, such as lead, in the manufacture of electrical and electronic products.
