WARNING! PLEASE DO NOT START ASSEMBLING OR USING BEFORE READING THE WARNINGS SECTION! 2
WARNINGS! Some metals that are buried under ground for a long time and rotten like sheet steel and tin (lead, galvanize etc.) May in some cases may give an impression as gold. Position of metals under the ground influence perception of the device and may cause an effect as gold or precious metal. 1. Since the device is electronic and very sensitive; never assemble and operate before reading the user manual. 2. Do not start searching before making ground settings.
ACCESSORIES AND COMPONENTS 1. Electronic System Box and Case: It is the part where the detector sockets, headphone socket joystick feed socket and battery socket are located and where measurement results are evaluated and displayed on the LCD monitor. There is a carrying apparatus for easy transport of this system. 2. General Search Coil (360x440 mm): It is the system that consists of the search coil for general purposes.
5. Batteries: 14.8 V, 4 Ampere Lithium Polymer rechargeable batteries. Battery Operating Voltage (Min): 12 V Battery Operating Voltage (Max): 14.8 V Battery Current: 4 A Battery Life: 4-6 hours 6. Battery Charger: It is a device to charge 14.8 V 4 Ampere Lithium Polymer batteries. Input: AC 100-240 V / 50-60 Hz / 1A (City mains) Output: DC 12 – 16.8 V / 400 mA Charge duration: 10 hours 7.
ELECTRONIC SYSTEM UNIT 1. GROUND: The key that allows switching to Ground Setting mode in LCD system mode. 2. SETUP: The key that allows switching to the Settings Menu. 3. DEPTH: The key that enables the device to switch to diameter screen and carry out depth analysis. 4. ACCEPT: The key that approves the related function and enable to switch to the previous menu. 5. “ – “ : The minus key. 6. “+”: 7. SCAN: A key that enables analyzing a target when pressed passing over it. 8.
ASSEMBLY AND CHARGING THE BATTERY 1. CHARGING THE BATTERY: Remove the battery from the system box and connect to the charger. When battery is being charged red LED will lights and when the charging is done green LED will lights. If there is no battery attached to the charger or the attached battery is fully charged the green LED lights. After charging, disconnect the battery from the charger and place it into system box.
General Search Coil Battery System Unit Deep Search Coil (Optional) Headphone SEARCH COIL CONNECTION Transmits the data received from search coil to the Electronic system box. The 5 pin “A” plugs shown in the above figure are connected to socket “A” on the system box. HEADPHONE CONNECTION Enables signal sound to be switched from external loudspeaker to the headphone. The “B” plug shown in the figure in the previous page is connected to socket “B” on the system box.
USING THE LCD MODE NOTE: The LCD system function of the device can only be used when 360x440mm search coil and 600x1000mm search coil is installed. Install the 360x440mm or 600x1000mm search coil to the system box as described in the “assembly” section. The device has two separate systems. One of these systems is the LED System, the other is LCD System. To switch the device to LCD System, the commutator switch is adjusted to LCD.
Checking Battery Charge Level: The device switches to “Ground Adjustment” section after it detects the search coil. At the bottom of this section there is an area that indicates battery status and the operator detects battery status by referring to this area. If the battery is depleted or does not have adequate charge switch off the device and charge the batteries installing the charger.
Adjustment of SENSITIVITY Level: “SETUP” button is pressed for adjusting the level of sound of the device in whatever mode is it in. The current adjusted sensitivity level is displayed as % on the screen. Select the “SENSITIVITY” mode by pressing “+” and “-“ keys as described above. After this mode is selected press the “ACCEPT“ button the sensitivity indicator bar will turn from yellow into green. Adjust the sensitivity level by pressing “+” and “-“ keys and press “ACCEPT” button.
WHAT IS GROUND SETTING AND HOW IT IS DONE? In our country land formation and soil composition vary in relation to regions. In some regions the composition may vary frequently (Sand, lime, red earth with dense mineral content, rocky formation, etc.). These variations in soil composition mislead the detector and cause perception as metal or cavity. Therefore first we have to launch the soil characteristics of the region to the detector’s system.
HOW GROUND SETTING IS MADE? When the device is switched on it starts with the “GROUND ADJUST” mode. Ground adjustment should be done before using the device for correct results. During exploration when soil composition has changed and when ground adjustment has to be done again switch to ground mode by pressing the “GROUND” button and re-adjust ground settings after checking existing settings. Ground Setting Phases 1.
6. If there is no ground effect on the device there is no interaction on the bar that is indicated in the figure and “Ground Setting 100% Completed” expression is displayed. In this case the device is ready for exploring and you may switch to explore mode by pressing the “ACCEPT” button. 7. In case there is ground effect on the device an interaction is observed in the “GROUND ADJUST” bars that are indicated in the figure.
PERFORMING SEARCH WITH LCD SYSTEM After “GROUND” setting is completed “ACCEPT” button is pressed and switched to Explore Mode. Hold the search coil 8-15 cm above and parallel to the ground. You can explore by moving the search coil slowly with a right to left sweeping motion or by walking straight. Try to detect a target by exploring this way.
If the target is valuable metal, there is a raise both on the “METAL” and ”VALUABLE” that is expressed in % depending on the magnitude of the effect. The effect of metal can be monitored in the graph on top of the bars. If the target is worthless metal there is a raise both on the “METAL” “IRON” that is expressed in % depending on the magnitude of the effect.
READING THE OSCILLOSCOPE Oscilloscope draws plan view of an underground target. It helps us to pre-understanding the shape, quantity and depth of the target. Also it is a very important system that allows knowing that the source signal is a metal or a mineral source by reading the oscilloscope right.
9- Target is a cavity and deeper underground; 11- If the oscilloscope line draws a straight line close to center line, it points that the ground is a high-mineral soil. So, the ground balance needed to be recalibrated. 10- Target is a metal inside of a cavity; or If the signal line increases very sharp and decreases with same velocity there is no need to calculate depth. Because, this shows that the target is very close the surface.
Getting and Analysis report by Analyzing the Target: To get an analysis report by analyzing the detected target during exploration: Press the “RESET” button by removing the search coil off the target after the target is detected. Press and hold the “SCAN” button when passing over the target again slowly. At that moment the device analyzes the target. Release the “SCAN” button after you pass overt the target. After this operation the device presents the “ANALYSIS REPORT” to the operator.
Enter the “Width” value by using “+” and “-“ keys. Press the “ACCEPT” button after entering the width value and convert the frame into yellow. To enter the determined length dimension place the yellow frame on “Length” by using “+” and “-“ keys. Press the “ACCEPT” button to convert the yellow frame to green. Enter the “Length” value by using “+” and “-“ keys. Press the “ACCEPT” button after entering the length value.
