Classic® 5ID Carry Carton To Assemble: Loop/Searchcoil I. Remove all parts from shipping carton and check the assembly page to make sure parts are present. Washers between each loop ear & clevis Cable Retainers II. There are rubber washers between clevis/lower rod and loop ears. Use only nonmetallic washers, fiber bolt, and thumbnut to secure loop to clevis/lower rod. III.
Classic® 5ID Batteries I. Standard Batteries: A. The standard battery holder holds eight “AA” cell batteries. Alkalines are recommended for use with this model. During normal searching condit i o n s you can expect about 70 hours of hunting time from one set of eight Alkalines. B. Non-alkalines can be used in this holder. When non-alkalines or rechargeable “AA” cells are used detecting time (before replacement/recharge) will be reduced to about 50 hours. C.
Classic® 5ID Operating Instructions Center Position I. Once fully assembled, and the batteries installed, set the ON/OFF SENS knob to the “P” (Preset) position set the DISC knob to the RING RANGE “P” (Preset) position, set the ALL METAL toggle (located on the handle/rod) to the center DISC position. II. The SENS (Sensitivity) knob turns the instrument ON/OFF and adjusts the responsiveness of the detector to metal targets as well as interference from external electrical sources and ground peculiarities. A.
Classic® 5ID C. The most useful range on this control is between the Ring Range “P” and Coin Range “P” positions. If when searching at the Ring Range position you feel you are digging too much trash, adjust slightly toward the Coin Range and try again. Finding the lowest (furthest counterclockwise) position that eliminates the common trash metals in your area is important in order to find items of jewelry. D.
Classic® 5ID VII. Once a smooth consistent beep has been located, sweep the loop directly over the center of the target several times and read the possible ID on the display. Like the audio discriminator, the display will tend to fluctuate on trash, and read more consistent on valuable metals. This is why we recommend relying on the audio beep as the primary indication, and then check the display ID. A. The display will produce and hold indications as the loop passes over ground, trash, and other metals.
Classic® 5ID Explanation of Display Block indications on the display indicate the possible identification or type of metal item currently being detected. It is normal for the display to show and hold a random block indication during use as well as indicate targets rejected by the DISC setting. This will not reset with the ALL METAL toggle. Consult the display indication only when it is accompanied by a smooth repeatable audio sound dictated by the DISC setting.
Classic® 5ID IV. The fourth block indication from the left: “PULL TAB, RING, GOLD”. The most common metal found with this block indication is the standard size “PULL TAB”. However, medium to larger gold jewelry can also be indicated by this block. Again in areas where rings are suspected you may want to dig this indication, at least until you have determined the presence of many pull tabs. The DISC control at high settings can reject metals with the audio sound that produce this display indication. VI.
Classic® 5ID ON/OFF Sensitivity/Gain VIII. The eighth block indication from the left: “SILVER, 50¢, 1 DOLLAR’ The most common metals found with this block indication is large silver coins. However, other large items of silver can also be indicated by this block. We recommend digging this indication. IX. As previously stated, multiple blocks could have one of two meanings. There could be more than one metal or it may be one metal of a complex alloy (mixture of different metal types).
Classic® 5ID ALL METAL Toggle Control At the fully clockwise setting nearly all trash metals are rejected, as well as some valuables. Some larger items, such as lead, aluminum, pot metal and tin will respond regardless of the DISC control setting. ® ® An operator of the Classic 5 ID. may want to adjust the DISC control for several reasons: I. Minimum trash rejection is needed for detecting iron and steel such as tools, horseshoes, relics and property stakes.
Classic® 5ID Search Methods I. Loop Sweep A. Because the loop must be moving in order to accurately respond, the sweep of the loop is critical to performance. Sweep the loop close to the ground. Keep it close throughout the sweep. (See examples.) B. Productive areas, or areas that have potential, should be searched from at least two different directions, at ninety degree angles from each-other.
Classic® 5ID II. Pinpointing A. Once a consistent good sound is located, to pinpoint the exact center, squeeze and hold the G.E.B./ DISC toggle (located on the handle) or press it forward to lock and “X” the area slowly to pinpoint the exact center. The detector will beep as the physical center of the loop passes the center of the target. Listen for the loudest beep as you sweep the loop over the area, then stop and sweep in the other direction listening for the loudest beep.
Classic® 5ID Proper Care I. Cleaning A. Both the loop and rod are waterproof and can be cleaned with fresh water and mild soap. The control box is not waterproof and must be kept dry. Never lift a wet loop above the height of the control box as water can run down the inside of the rod damaging the electronics. A damp cotton cloth can be used to wipe off a dirty control box. II. Weather A. Do not expose your detector to the conditions of a car trunk during winter and/or summer extremes. B.
Classic® 5ID Advanced Operator Ground Rejection The ground rejection of the Classic® models is factory preset at a level slightly positive of a ferrite mineral sample. This setting will provide good performance in most ground conditions. If you notice a lot of false targeting (beeps where there are no metal items) or if ground penetration is less than several inches, the ground rejection may need to be adjusted for your area.
