UNDERSTANDING THE DISPLAY
TTaarrggeett CCaatteeggoorriieess
There are 8 categories, indicated at the top of the display.
When the search coil passes over a metal object in DISCRIMINATION
or ALL METALS mode, a rectangular-shaped icon will light up over the
category which describes the metal object.
DDiissccrriimmiinnaattiioonn IInnddiiccaattoorrss
When a “—” appears over the target category descriptions, all of the
targets in that category have been eliminated from detection.
Rotate the DISCRIM knob to choose the discrimination setting.
TTaarrggeett IIDD
A 2-digit number will appear when passing over a metal object in
DISCRIMINATION or ALL METALS mode. This 2-digit number
corresponds to the target categories at the top of the display.
DDeepptthh
When holding the PINPOINT touch pad, the 2-digit number in the center
of the display shows the distance to the object, in inches. This depth
indicator is calibrated to coin-sized objects. If the buried object is other
than a coin, the depth indicator provides a relative depth indication.
CCoonnffiiddeennccee
While the Target ID provides a target identification, it is not possible to
always be 100% accurate of the buried object’s classification due to
the large variety of buried metal objects. To assist with target
identification refer to this confidence meter.
If the detector is highly confident an object’s classification, all 5 bars
will illuminate.
One bar illuminated indicates a very low level of confidence in the
target identification.
