SYMPTOM SOLUTION
No power
1. Ensure batteries are installed in the correct orientation.
2. Replace all old batteries with all new batteries.
Erratic sounds or
target ID cursor
movement
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. Determine if you are close to other metal detectors or other
metal structures such as electrical power lines, wire fences,
benches, etc.
4. Reduce your sensitivity setting.
Intermittent Signals
Intermittent signals typically mean you’ve found a deeply
buried target or one that is positioned at a difficult angle for
your detector to read. Scan from different directions to help
define the signal. In the case of multiple targets, switch to
the ZERO-DISC Mode to locate all targets. In trashy areas, use
the Super Sniper™ or a 5" x 8" DD searchcoil. NOTE: Iron
targets may cause Intermittent Signals. You can identify iron
targets in the ZERO-DISC Mode.
I’m not finding
specific targets
Ensure you are using the correct mode for the type hunting
you are doing. If specifically hunting for coins, COINS mode
should be your best choice to eliminate other undesirable
targets. You may also use the ZERO-DISC mode, which
detects all metal targets to ensure desired targets are present.
Target ID Cursor
bounces
If your Target ID Cursor bounces erratically, chances are
you’ve found a trash target. However, a Target ID Cursor may
bounce if a good target (such as a coin) is not parallel to the
searchcoil (e.g. on edge). It may also bounce if there is one
or multiple “junk” targets laying next to the good target. Scan
from different directions until your Target ID Cursor becomes
more stable.
NOTE: Large, flat pieces of iron—depending on their
orientation in the ground—can read as a good target or can
cause erratic Target ID Cursor movement.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Low Battery
Indicator
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
The Low Battery Indicator will switch on when the detector's
batteries become weak. The detector will maintain full
performance but the batteries should be replaced soon when
this indicator appears. NiMH rechargeable batteries may be
used, but may have a shorter life per charge. You can expect
20 to 40 hours of operation depending on battery type and
quality.
Replace the batteries by sliding the cover off the control
housing. Remove batteries when the ACE 200i will be stored
for longer than 30 days.
Note: 1.5V/cell Lithium batteries can also be used, but the
use of 3.7V/cell Lithium batteries will damage the detector.
