ACE 200i CONTROL PANEL Target ID Legend indicates metal types. Digital Target ID Target ID Cursor indicates probable target identity. Lower Scale indicates notch discrimination pattern. Mode Indicator QUICK START GUIDE Depth Indicator indicates depth of coin-sized target. 1. Power ON. Press and release the ON / OFF Power button. The ACE 200i powers on in the last mode used, automatically adjusts for ground minerals and is ready to search.

Control housing with S-shaped stem Searchcoil Batteries installed Upper, lower stem (connected) Nut, bolt, mounting washers Manual Warranty card Loosen upper camlock, insert S-stem with control housing, adjust lower stem to comfortable length, and hand-tighten the camlocks.
POWER ON/BASIC CONTROLS TARGET INFORMATION Target ID Legend Target ID Cursor (Upper Scale) Discrimination Pattern (Lower Scale) Coin Depth Indicator Digital Target ID Low Battery Level Indicator Power ON/OFF Button Power ON/OFF—Press this button to turn power ON or OFF. Factory Reset —To restore factory settings, press and hold the power button for 5 seconds (until the detector produces a fast double beep).
SELECTING MODES (Discrimination Patterns) DIGITAL TARGET ID Target ID can vary widely based upon the target's size and thickness because small, thin pieces of metal cannot conduct electrical current as well as thicker pieces of metal. In addition, mineralized soils can cause Target ID errors, especially for small targets. Tip: Target ID is most reliable when the target is centered under the searchcoil and the coil is swept flat and at a constant height above the ground.
SENSITIVITY BENCH TESTS Use the SENSITIVITY button to step through the four (4) levels. Use increased sensitivity when searching for very small or very deep targets. Use lower sensitivity levels when the detector is behaving erratically (due to excessive metallic trash, highly mineralized soils, electrical interference or the presence of other metal detectors) and the erratic operation cannot be resolved with discrimination.
HUNTING TIPS WITH YOUR ACE 200i • If you are new to metal detecting, start searching in areas with sandy and loose soil to make it easier to learn how to use your metal detector, pinpoint and dig targets. • Keep your searchcoil height 2–3cm above and parallel to the ground at all times for best detection results.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE SYMPTOM No power Erratic sounds or target ID cursor movement BATTERY REPLACEMENT SOLUTION 1. Ensure batteries are installed in the correct orientation. 2. Replace all old batteries with all new batteries. 1. Ensure your searchcoil is securely connected and the coil cable is snugly wound around the stem. 2. If using the detector indoors, be aware that excessive amounts of electrical interference exists, plus excessive amounts of metal can be found in floors and walls. 3.
METAL DETECTING CODE OF ETHICS The following is a Code of Ethics that many treasure hunters and clubs follow to preserve our exciting sport of metal detecting. We encourage you to do the same: • I will respect private and public property, all historical and archaeological sites and will do no metal detecting on these lands without proper permission. • I will keep informed on and obey all local and national legislation relating to the discovery and reporting of found treasures.
ACE 200i WARRANTY & SERVICE ACE 200i ACCESSORIES Your ACE 200i detector is warranted for 24 months, limited parts and labor, but does not cover damage caused by alteration, modification, neglect, accident or misuse. In the event you encounter problems with your ACE 200i detector please read through this Owner’s Manual carefully to ensure the detector is not inoperable due to manual adjustments.
