经常问的问题

Minelab经验丰富的探测器已经汇总了有关如何使用金属探测器的常见问题解答列表。这些还包含许多用于金属检测的专业技巧。

您可以通过阅读此处的常见问题解答以及相关的知识库文章找到问题的答案。当然,如果在搜索完这些信息后仍有疑问,请联系我们的客服团队。

在我开始研究之前,Minelab金属探测器可以告诉我们目标是什么吗?

是的,Minelab金属探测器能够“ 区分 ”不同类型的目标 。 Minelab探测器的辨别功能可测量两种目标属性,即铁质性质和导电性能。

铁的性质是指目标中有多少铁,因此它对磁铁的吸引力有多大。铁质靶标往往是杂质,因此可以通过检测器单独根据其铁质性质来区分/掩盖。导电特性是指目标传导电流的程度,因此可以响应金属探测器的磁场。像钉子和金属箔一样的垃圾具有不同的导电性能,如硬币和戒指等有价值的目标。在这种情况下,金属探测器可以基于电导率判断目标是否是垃圾。

在Minelab系列探测器中,配置鉴别设置的过程和用于指示宝藏或垃圾的方法各不相同。

不同的工作频率有什么影响?

根据经验,探测器使用的频率越低,它就越能穿透地面。然而,在低频率下,对小的低导电目标的灵敏度降低。频率越高,对小目标的敏感度越高,但不会深入穿透。通常,金探测器在较高频率下工作(以寻找小金块),而硬币和宝探测器在较低频率下工作以进行更深入的穿透。例外的是MPS型金属探测器,它们同时具有敏感性和深度寻找性。

不同的线圈如何影响金属探测器的性能?

尺寸

搜索线圈的大小可以影响金属探测器的探测深度或灵敏度。线圈越大,检测到的越深,但对小目标的敏感度越低。相反,搜索线圈的直径越小,它变得越敏感,但检测深度就越差。

较小的线圈更轻,更易于控制,并且可以选择它们来协商困难的地形或灌木丛的能力。它们在高垃圾区域也是一个优势。

形状

最常见的线圈形状是传统的实心圆形线圈,椭圆形线圈和开口腹板线圈。形状变化的主要原因是符合物理要求,即椭圆形线圈可以比圆形线圈更容易在灌木丛之间或岩石之间推动,并且开放的腹板线圈更容易在水中移动并且更轻。传统的圆形线圈通常更稳定并且性能更好,并且特别适用于黄金勘探。

组态

三种最常见的线圈绕组类型是Concentric,Double-D和Monoloop。这些线圈类型之间的差异是导线缠绕在搜索线圈内的图案。

同心线圈

同心线圈具有内圆和外圆线绕组。它的搜索模式是锥形的,可以准确地精确定位目标。在高度矿化的地面中,同心线圈往往噪声较大,需要更多的扫掠以进行彻底的地面覆盖。

双D线圈

双D线圈是大多数检测的首选线圈。它们提供更均匀地覆盖地面的刀片或凿形信号,一旦操作员习惯于信号,精确定位就可以非常准确。双D线圈也因其卓越的地面平衡能力而受到青睐。

Monoloop线圈

Monoloop线圈在线圈的圆周上有一圈绕线,用于发射和接收。 Monoloop线圈的信号模式为锥形,需要更多重叠。在极度矿化的地面中,它们可能更难以平衡地面,但是它们倾向于提供比双D线圈稍好的深度。

我应该多久清理一下我的防滑板?

污垢,灰尘和湿气可能会被困在防滑板内,导致信号错误和性能不佳。为了保持Minelab探测器的最佳性能,建议定期清理滑板。

我怎么知道我的线圈是否防水?

查看线圈选择指南 ,找到最适合您检测需求的线圈。

FBS对VFLEX有什么优势?

  • 高度准确的歧视
  • 无需地面平衡
  • 大目标的优越深度
  • 在盐滩上运行非常稳定
  • 高级铁透视(CTX 3030最好)
  • 广泛的目标尺寸的最大深度

每个探测器的耳机推荐阻抗值是多少?

耳机规格在金属探测器中并不重要,因为它们的音频电路不会产生Hi-Fi质量的声音。例如,我们的探测器频率输出范围仅为大约75-1200Hz

我们的音频电路将驱动大多数耳机从16 - 100 +欧姆。

每个人都听到不同的音频优化也非常主观。

我们努力不要将我们的客户与不必要的技术规格混淆,因为实际上没有诚实的方法来确定哪种耳机最适合您,而不是尝试它们。

如果您的探测器具有可调音频,例如CTX 3030,我们还建议您花一些时间确保检测音调针对您的听力需求进行优化。

我的探测器有多深?

这个问题没有具体答案,因为它取决于目标大小,方向,金属含量,地面矿物和电导率,该地区的电气和环境噪声等。

然而,我们常常听说GPX系列探测器在3英尺处有时会发现4英尺深的金块,而CTX 3030则发现硬币和环超过12英寸。

我应该多久发送一次我的探测器进行维修?

只有它变得有缺陷。

我应该多久进行一次平衡,哪里可以平衡?

在某些探测器上,您根本不需要地面平衡。在其他情况下,建议初次使用检测的用户使用地面平衡跟踪功能。

在跟踪中,探测器将自动为您平衡,即使地面矿物质变化也能保持平衡。在X-TERRA 305和X-TERRA 505等手动地面平衡探测器上,您需要在每次捕猎开始时进行地面平衡,并根据需要定期重新平衡。始终在干净的地面上平衡,远离金属物体。

为什么我的探测器无法检测到金链?

金链很难检测,特别是非常细的链。链的每个链接都可以非常小,并且检测器将每个链接视为单独的目标,因此很容易被遗漏。您更有可能检测到实际的扣环或任何可能仍然在链上的吊坠,因为它们比单个链环大得多。高频探测器,如Eureka Gold,或者在探矿模式下具有18.75 kHz线圈的X-TERRA 705,通常比大多数硬币探测器更好地拾取精细链条。

为什么我的探测器拿起一些可乐?

可乐是碳,因此可以像硬币一样非常导电。

什么是你最深的探测器,它能通过岩石探测到吗?

GPZ 7000是我们在所有地面条件下最深的探测器,甚至可以通过高度矿化的岩石进行探测。

我想延长我的线圈电缆,这可以做到吗?

不,电缆特性在制造时与线圈绕组匹配,因此延长电缆会降低线圈的性能。

你能为Trashy Ground推荐一个好的线圈吗?

较小的线圈更适合垃圾站点,因为它们可以减少一次检测多个目标的情况。出于同样的原因,同心线圈通常优于双D线圈。

检查线圈选择指南,找到最适合您检测需求的线圈。

为什么我的探测器在空中拾取信号?

金属探测器从地下金属物体中拾取电磁信号。也可以通过来自其他电磁源的空气接收类似的信号,例如电力线,无线电发射器,发电机等。

如果地面矿化,我怎么知道?

如果你的探测器在探测时有噪音,但是当你停止扫描线圈时它会变得安静,那么它就会从矿化地面接收信号。执行地面平衡并继续检测。

仅限GPX系列:如果它仍然有噪音,那么您可能需要尝试替代土壤/时间选择。所有其他探测器:如果仍然有噪声,则需要降低对最高稳定灵敏度级别的灵敏度。

是否有可能错过具有预设识别模式的良好目标?

获得所有可能的良好目标的唯一保证方法是不使用歧视。但是,挖掘每个目标可能会浪费大量时间。歧视模式总是在挖掘大多数好目标和忽略大多数垃圾目标之间的妥协。

有时我挖掘什么似乎是一个好目标然后找不到任何金属,为什么?

这可能是由多种原因造成的:

  • 有时生锈的物体在挖掘过程中会被破坏
  • 金属物体可以将微量元素浸入周围的土壤中
  • 有些岩石听起来像是目标
  • 有些目标在挖掘过程中会“丢失”或重新安置

为什么我有时会在摇摆结束时获得信号?

通常是因为你在挥杆结束时抬起线圈。始终为整个挥杆扫缓,降低和降低水平。

WHAT IS ZVT TECHNOLOGY?

Zero Voltage Transmission (ZVT) technology creates ultra‑constant high-power opposite polarity magnetic fields.
ZVT provides users with superior ground balance to enhance detector stability in mineralised soils and will detect gold nuggets at extreme depths that exceed all current competitor products.

WHAT IS THE PERFORMANCE OF THE GPZ 7000? HOW DOES IT COMPARE TO OTHER MINELAB GOLD DETECTORS?

The GPZ 7000 is our best performer on the medium to larger nuggets, even in highly mineralised or variable ground. It retains superior depth capabilities compared to any other detector while still providing good sensitivity to smaller, shallower targets.

WHAT COILS CAN I USE ON MY GPZ 7000?

The GPZ 7000 detector has Minelab branded, and aftermarket coils available for purchase. Minelab branded coils are available from Minelab certified dealerships. You can purchase the 14” or 19” Super-D coils.
NuggetFinder coil have released 2 Minelab approved aftermarket coils. A 12” round Super-D coil and a 17” elliptical Super-D coil which can be purchased by NuggetFinder stockists.

CAN THE GPZ 7000 DISCRIMINATE CERTAIN METAL TYPES?

No, the GPZ 7000 does not have any discrimination capability.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE IN PERFORMANCE OF THE DETECTOR BETWEEN THE NORMAL, DIFFICULT AND SEVERE GROUND TYPES?

The Difficult Ground Type setting is the default setting and is recommended as gold is usually found in areas with highly mineralised soils.

The Normal Ground Type setting will provide the greatest detection depth but can only be used in “quiet” soils where there are lower levels of mineralisation in the soil.

If the detector is running unstable or noisy when using a “Normal” ground type you should switch to “Difficult”.

The Severe Ground Type will provide the lowest detection depth and should only be used when detecting in areas with extremely high levels of mineralisation. This setting should only be used in areas where you need to raise the coil above the ground when using the “Difficult” Ground Type setting.

WHY DO I NEED TO USE THE YELLOW FERRITE RING WHEN GROUND BALANCING?

When ground balancing, the yellow ferrite ring artificially adds additional data to help the GPZ 7000 improve the ground balance accuracy. This should always be used to ensure smooth operation. Sweep the coil over the yellow ferrite ring in a figure 8 motion ground balancing, ensuring that you sweep over the yellow ferrite ring with each figure 8 movement.
When balanced correctly you should hear a smooth audio tone when sweeping the coil over the yellow ferrite ring.

WHY DOES THE MANUAL RECOMMEND A SWINGING ACTION, OR FIGURE-8 MOVEMENT FOR GROUND BALANCING?

When ground balancing the GPZ 7000 a swinging or figure-8 movement is recommended as the GPZ 7000 constantly monitors the changes in the soil. Sweeping the coil over as much ground as possible ensuring that you sweep over the yellow ferrite ring with each swing/figure-8 motion when ground balancing allows the detector to gain as much information as possible about the local ground conditions which provides a superior ground balance.

I HEAR AN OCCASIONAL DROPOUT WHEN USING THE WM12 WIRELESS MODULE. WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN?

Wireless audio is susceptible to audio dropouts when the signal is blocked. Audio dropouts can be reduced by ensuring a direct line of sight between the WM12 and the detector. It is best to wear the WM12 as close as possible to the detector. This minimises the path to the wireless transmitter and makes it less likely that the operator's body will block the signal path between the WM12 and the detector. 

WHAT IS THE BATTERY RUN/CHARGE TIME?

The GPZ 7000 will operate for approximately 8 hours when commencing with a fully charged battery. Charging the battery will typically take 5 – 6 hours.

The WM12 wireless module will operate for approximately 12 hours on a fully charged battery and takes around 12 hours to charge when charging via the BC10 charger.

IS IT SAFE TO CHARGE BATTERY FROM 24V TRUCK BATTERY?

Yes, the GPZ 7000 can be charged from a nominal 24V battery system. The BC10 charger can will function between 11 – 30 volts DC.
You can also use the supplied 240V AC plug-pack if your vehicle is fitted with an inverter.

WILL AN ALKALINE BATTERY PACK BE AVAILABLE FOR THE GPZ 7000?

No, Minelab currently has no plans to release a replaceable cell or alkaline battery pack. 

WHAT ARE THE USB CABLES IN THE CARTON USED FOR?

There are 2 USB cables supplied in the box with your GPZ 7000. The USB-A to Mini-USB cable is used for charging the WM12 wireless module.
The USB-A to USB-B is used for software updates and is plugged into the rear of the screen pod and a PC.

CAN THE SOFTWARE IN THE GPZ 7000 BE UPGRADED?

On the rear of the screen pod is a USB-B port that can be used if a software upgrade is released. Check the downloads section of the GPZ 7000 page on our website for updates.

什么是 GeoSense-PI?

GeoSense-PI™ 技术以极高的清晰度和精度分析和响应地面信号,因此您可以在曾经被认为无法检测到的困难环境中进行检测。它通过三个重叠的反馈系统快速抑制不需要的信号,即使是最微小的金块也能进行超快速检测。

GPX 6000 的性能如何?它与其他 Minelab 金探测器相比如何?

GPX 6000 是我们在更丰富的小块矿上表现最好的,即使是在高度矿化或多变的地面上。它保留了出色的深度,在更大、更深的掘金上仅次于 GPZ 7000。

GPX 6000 是否与现有的 GPX 系列线圈兼容?

GPX 6000 线圈是新系列的轻型、高性能线圈,与早期的 GPX 系列探测器不兼容。

GPX 6000 能否区分双 D 线圈?

GPX 6000 中的 14" Double-D 线圈只能用于 EMI 消除或导电土壤信号的消除。它不能区分黑色金属。

What coils are available for the GPX 6000? Is the GPX 6000 compatible with third party coils?

The following Minelab coils are currently available to operate with the GPX 6000:

  • GPX 11: 11" round Monoloop coil for general use
  • GPX 17: 17" x 13" elliptical Monoloop coil for better ground coverage and depth on large nuggets
  • GPX 14: 14" round Double D coil for conductive (salty) soils or when there is high electrical interference (EMI)

Minelab approved aftermarket coils are available from Coiltek and NuggetFinder.

线圈电缆是否应该紧紧缠绕在轴上?

来自线圈的线圈电缆的第一个绕组应始终越过轴。然后应将线圈电缆紧紧缠绕在轴上,并用两条尼龙搭扣带固定到位。您应该留出足够的空间让线圈在检测时能够自由移动。

GPX 6000 能否像 GPZ 7000 一样平衡“G”和“X”?

GPX 6000 不跟踪接地的铁氧体组件。 GeoSense-PI 使用其他技术去除操作员不可见的“X”响应。
您不需要黄色铁氧体来平衡 GPX 6000。

我听不到阈值音。为什么是这样?

通过长按地面类型按钮,可以在任何灵敏度设置中打开和关闭阈值音调。

请注意,阈值音在手动灵敏度范围内打开,在自动灵敏度范围内关闭。下次打开 GPX 6000 时,阈值音将恢复为默认值。

普通地面和困难地面类型之间的探测器性能有何不同?

“困难地面类型”设置最适用于矿化程度较高的土壤,尤其是热岩石或高度多变的地面。

Normal Ground Type 设置在较大的块上具有最大的深度;最好在任何可能的情况下使用它,并且始终在矿化水平较低或变化较小的地面上使用。普通地面类型可能会捡起炽热的岩石作为目标。如果无法平衡热岩石,则需要使用困难地面类型设置。

The GPZ 7000 manual recommends a swinging action, or figure-8 movement for Ground Balancing. What is the recommendation for the GPX 6000?

The GPX 6000 with GeoSense-PI is continually tracking the ground, so either technique would work. Minelab recommends pumping the GPX 6000 up and down above the ground with the Quick-Trak button depressed to achieve the fastest Ground Balance.

我不是在盐湖或海水中进行检测。为什么导电接地消除对我来说是一个优势?

导电接地不必与可见盐相关。例如,最近的降雨可能使土壤更具导电性并增加不想要的导电土壤响应。

我听到蓝牙耳机偶尔会掉线。为什么会发生这种情况?

当信号被阻塞时,无线音频很容易出现音频丢失。通过确保耳机和检测器之间的直接视线,可以减少音频丢失。最好将带有蓝牙控件的耳机佩戴在离探测器最近的位置。这最大限度地减少了蓝牙发射器的路径,并降低了操作员身体阻挡耳机和检测器之间信号路径的可能性。

电池运行/充电时间是多少?

当电池充满电时,GPX 6000 将运行大约 8 小时。为电池充电通常需要 5 到 6 个小时。

ML 100 耳机在充满电的电池下可工作约 24 小时,充电约需 3.5 小时。

用 24V 卡车电池给电池充电是否安全?

从车辆充电时,GPX 6000 电池只能从标称 12V 的汽车电池系统充电。

GPX 6000 是否提供碱性电池组?

Minelab 目前没有发布可更换电池或碱性电池组的计划。

纸箱里的USB线是干什么用的?

USB 电缆用于为蓝牙耳机充电,如果 GPX 6000 有可用的软件升级,则可以使用 USB 电缆。

ML 100 耳机是否需要打开或充电才能用作有线耳机?

如果 ML 100 耳机中的电池没电,您可以将随附的音频线插入耳机和检测器以继续检测。
GPX 6000 是否与其他蓝牙耳机兼容?
GPX 6000 可以与普通 (A2DP) 蓝牙耳机和其他 aptX 低延迟蓝牙耳机配对和连接,包括 Minelab ML 80 耳机。当连接到 aptX Low Latency 耳机时,探测器 LCD 屏幕上的蓝牙图标旁边会出现一个 + 符号来表示这一点。

GPX 6000 中的软件可以升级吗?

扬声器格栅后面是一个 USB 端口,可在发布软件升级时使用。查看我们网站上GPX 6000 页面的下载部分以获取更新。

我怎么知道我应该使用什么土壤/时间?

您永远无法预测任何给定位置的土壤矿化程度,这就是为什么建议开始使用正常时间的原因。然后,你可以让检测器通过扫描线圈和听阈值的稳定性来告诉你使用哪个Timing。

执行自动调谐和地面平衡后,您应该开始搜索,如果探测器噪音太大或在大量热岩石上发出信号,那么您使用的时序对于您所在的地面来说过于激进。您需要选择更接近以下比例暗端的另一个时序,例如增强。

减少 EMI 影响的最佳方法是什么?

众所周知,GPX 5000 会受到电磁干扰 (EMI) 的影响,尤其是在暴风雨天气期间。这种干扰的已知原因有以下三个:

  1. Enhance、Fine-Gold 和 Sharp 时序的灵敏度将检测到极小的金块,但不幸的是,任何 EMI 也是如此。
  2. 由于 GPX 5000 卓越的地面处理能力,大 Monoloop 线圈的使用非常普遍。线圈的磁场在地面上方与地面一样高,因此您可以看到更大更深的线圈将更容易受到 EMI 的影响。
  3. 检测器的总体平滑度意味着由 EMI 引起的任何颤音或颤动都更加明显,并且可能被误认为是目标信号。

在糟糕的 EMI 日子里,这里有一些提示可以让你的阈值保持呼噜声:

  • 使用双 D 线圈,并将线圈尺寸保持在最小以适应正在工作的地面。
  • 避免使用 Fine-Gold 和 Sharp Timings。 Normal 和 Sensitive Extra 通常会提供更平滑的阈值。
  • 使用非常慢或慢动作速度。
  • 使用安静或正常音频类型。
  • 要让检测器准确选择最安静的操作通道,请选择“快动作”速度,进行自动调谐,然后返回“非常慢动作”。
  • 首先设置您的接收增益,然后使用稳定器进行微调。
  • 在搜索时,您可能会发现阈值开始摆动。通过几个数字快速调整手动调谐将使阈值返回到平滑的嗡嗡声。
  • 以上的组合应该会对探测器的稳定性产生很大的影响,并且可以让您在困难的条件下继续寻找黄金。

每个人都告诉我,与双 D 线圈相比,单回路线圈更深、更灵敏——那么双 D 线圈的优点是什么?

  • 每次扫掠深度的地面覆盖范围广,需要的重叠更少
  • 不易受到电磁干扰 (EMI)
  • 可以使用除铁功能
  • 提高在真正潮湿土壤中的能力
  • 允许使用取消模式,在电源线附近操作
  • 沿线圈中心的针点
  • 大型深层目标具有更明确(更窄)的响应
  • 减少高度矿化土壤中的错误信号
  • 对埋在木炭上的信号不太敏感
  • 适用于跟踪地面平衡

GPX 5000 和 GPX 4800:装置提供的深度非常小,有时只能检测到非常大的目标,为什么?

确保您没有使用“线圈接收”开关设置为“取消”的 Monoloop 线圈。

GPX 5000 和 GPX 4800:如果标签不再存在,我如何知道我有什么类型的指挥线圈?

Monoloop 线圈具有完美的圆形电缆。

由于两个内芯,双 D 线圈具有更扁平的电缆。

将线圈/接收开关置于取消状态。如果您的深度比您预期的略有减少,那么您的线圈是双 D 型的。如果您几乎没有深度,那么您有一个 Monoloop 线圈。

稳定器控制的目的是什么?

稳定器功能控制开始听到阈值微弱变化的点。这些微弱的变化可能是环境噪声或微弱的目标信号。当您增加稳定器控制时,微弱的目标信号会变大,但噪声水平也会增加,这可能会隐藏所需的目标信号。稳定器允许您屏蔽这些微弱的变化,以提供一个完美稳定的阈值,从而提高您识别微弱目标信号的能力。

稳定器最好留在 FP(工厂预设)位置,直到确定该位置的土壤条件。一旦根据当地条件设置了 Rx 增益电平并选择了其他音频设置,就可以使用稳定器来微调阈值稳定性。

要找到稳定器的最佳位置,请确保将线圈扫过地面。比阈值开始颤动的点低一个数字通常是最佳设置。

可以将稳定器的效果视为与 Rx 增益控制的效果相似。但是,稳定器仅影响音频处理,不会改变接收 (Rx) 信号,因此应用作最后阶段的微调。对稳定器进行任何调整后,如果地面条件发生变化或您希望更换线圈,您可能需要重置 Rx 增益,但在此之前,请先将稳定器恢复到出厂预设设置。这将确保您选择最合适的 Rx 增益级别以适应条件,然后您可以使用稳定器进行微调。

提示:通过将 Stabilizer 控件接近最小值(逆时针方向),阈值将非常稳定,但您将失去对较小目标的很多灵敏度。在某些情况下,这可能是一个理想的功能,例如在高垃圾区域寻找大金块,或使用 GPX 5000 和 GPX 4800 搜索硬币或宝藏。

提示:我们建议设置这些控件的最佳顺序是:

  • 选择合适的搜索模式
  • 选择所需的音频类型
  • 调整接收增益直到阈值开始突破
  • 调整稳定器以平滑阈值。

目标体积与正常体积有何不同?

目标音量控制目标信号的强度,设置高于 8 时,它也会略微增加阈值的音量。这对于大风条件、听力损失人士或使用外部扬声器时非常有用。使用内置于锂离子电池组中的音频放大器,您可以将扬声器直接插入电池,并使用目标音量设置适当的放大级别。请注意,从耳机切换到外部扬声器时,您可能需要对阈值和音量限制控件进行微调。

目标音量可在安静条件下用作音频增强,也可用于减少或消除高度矿化土壤中的地面噪声信号。这是一个强大的功能,将与稳定器控制配合使用,为您提供终极的微调能力。可能需要进行一些实验才能找到不同条件下的最佳组合。

注意:每当需要调整增益时,由于线圈或位置的变化,请确保首先将目标音量返回到 FP 设置。然后您可以微调以适应新的条件。

WHAT IS THE PERFORMANCE OF THE SDC 2300? HOW DOES IT COMPARE TO OTHER MINELAB GOLD DETECTORS?

The SDC 2300 is our compact and waterproof gold prospecting detector. It uses Multi Period Fast (MPF) Pulse Induction (PI) technology that provides excellent sensitivity when detecting small to medium sized nuggets in highly mineralised or variable ground. The SDC 2300 provides good depth on larger deeper nuggets.

ARE THERE OTHER MINELAB COILS FOR MY SDC 2300?

No, there are no other Minelab branded coils available for the SDC 2300. The supplied 8” round coil provides excellent overall performance for the SDC 2300 and keeps the detector waterproof and compact

CAN THE SDC 2300 DISCRIMINATE DIFFERENT METAL TYPES?

No, there is no discrimination function available for the SDC 2300.

WHY CAN'T I HEAR THE THRESHOLD TONE?

Having no constant threshold audio emit through the speaker or headphones indicates that the threshold audio is in the OFF or minimum setting.
The threshold volume can be adjusted by pushing the threshold button on the right side of the handle.
There are 9 levels of Threshold audio which are indicated by the LED display. With each press of the threshold button, you will notice the LEDs on the display incrementally move to the right, the threshold audio will also start increasing. When the threshold level is at maximum, pressing the Threshold button will cycle the threshold level back to the OFF or minimum setting.

HOW DO I ADJUST THE AUDIO PITCH (TONE)?

The SDC 2300 has 2 Audio pitch settings, Low or High. High pitch is the default, to change to the low setting switch the detector off then push and hold the Threshold button while switching the detector on.

The SDC 2300 will remember its previous setting so you will need to push and hold the Threshold button whilst switching the detector on to toggle back to the High pitch setting.

HOW DEEP UNDERWATER CAN I TAKE MY DETECTOR?

The SDC 2300 is waterproof to 3m (10ft) This is the complete detector including the control box.

CAN I USE THE SDC 2300 ON THE BEACH?

Yes, the SDC 2300 has a salt mode in the sensitivity adjustment, however Minelab does not recommend using the SDC 2300 on the beach as the SDC 2300 does not have a discrimination or target ID feature so you will dig a lot of trash.
The salt mode in your SDC 2300 is designed to be used on conductive ground such as salt lakes or wet mineralised soils found in gold fields where a high salt content is apparent. For example, recent rains may make the soil more conductive and increase the unwanted conductive soil response. If the soil is conductive or you are detecting on a salt lake, then adjust the sensitivity dial to a salt setting.

CAN I CHECK THE BATTERY LEVEL?

To check the battery level on your SDC 2300 simply push and hold the Noise Cancel button then press and release the Threshold button. The Noise Cancel button can now be released.
An indication of the battery level will be displayed by the LED's for approximately 3 seconds.

WHAT IS THE BATTERY RUN/CHARGE TIME?

The SDC 2300 will operate for approximately 8 hours when commencing with a fully charged Li-Ion battery. Charging the battery will typically take 5 – 6 hours. When using C-Cell Alkaline batteries you will generally have a longer use time (10-14 hours) but this will depend on the quality of the C-Cell batteries you are using.

IS IT SAFE TO CHARGE BATTERY FROM 24V TRUCK BATTERY?

No, The SDC 2300 battery should only be charged from a nominal 12V car battery system when charging from a vehicle.

WHAT BATTERIES CAN I USE?

The SDC 2300 includes a rechargeable Li-Ion battery pack inside the box. The battery compartment can also accept C-Cell Alkaline batteries or C-Cell NiMH rechargeable batteries. You can see the polarity for the C-Cell batteries on the side of the control box.

 

CAN THE SOFTWARE IN THE SDC 2300 BE UPGRADED?

No, the software on the SDC 2300 cannot be upgraded.

WHAT IS THE PERFORMANCE OF THE GOLD MONSTER 1000? HOW DOES IT COMPARE TO OTHER MINELAB GOLD DETECTORS?

The GOLD MONSTER 1000 is Minelab’s entry level gold prospecting detector, designed to find the smallest of nuggets in moderately mineralised ground. It retains excellent sensitivity to smaller shallow nuggets and can detect some larger nuggets at depth.

THE INDICATOR AT THE TOP OF THE SCREEN CONSISTENTLY POINTS TO THE RIGHT BUT IT’S NOT ALWAYS GOLD, WHY?

The Gold Chance Indicator at the top of the screen indicates if the target has a ferrous or non-ferrous content. If the indicator is consistently pointing to the right, it is indicating a high non-ferrous content and is likely a non-ferrous metal such as: gold, silver, brass, copper, aluminium, lead, zinc or other alloys that do not have any iron (ferrous) content.

If the indicator is pointing to the left, it is showing a high ferrous content and is likely steel or iron.

LARGE IRON AND STEEL OBJECTS INDICATE ON THE RIGHT, WHY?

Large steel and iron (ferrous) targets can indicate on the right. This happens when the conductive properties of the large ferrous target dominate the signal and mask the magnetic properties of the target.

WHAT COILS ARE COMPATIBLE WITH THE GOLD MONSTER 1000?

The GM05 and GM10 are the only compatible coils that can be used with the GOLD MONSTER 1000. The GM05 is included in the box and the GM10 coil can be purchased as an accessory from Minelab dealerships.

There are currently no aftermarket coils available for the GOLD MONSTER 1000.

HOW SHOULD I WIND THE COIL CABLE?

The first winding of the coil cable from the coil should always go over the shaft. Winding the coil cable over the shaft provides minimal stress on the coil cable which will help avoid damage. The coil cable should then be wound closely around the shaft, allowing enough room for the coil to be able to move freely when detecting.

Press the coil cable into the clip on the rear of the screen pod and then carefully screw the coil connector into the rear of the screen pod.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AUTO AND MANUAL SENSITIVITY?

There are 10 manual and 2 auto sensitivity levels.

Auto is located in position 11 on the sensitivity dial and will be indicated with a black dot in the centre of the sensitivity dial.
When in Auto the detector will function smoothly in most soil types and will continually adjust the detector’s sensitivity level to maintain smooth operation.


 

Auto + is located in position 12 on the sensitivity dial and will be indicated with a black dot in the centre of the sensitivity dial.
Auto + is a more aggressive sensitivity which provides users with additional sensitivity for extra depth performance. Auto+ should only be used in moderately mineralised soils as this setting may provide more ground noise.

 

Manual sensitivity adjustments (1 – 10) are for the expert user who has a good understanding of soil mineralisation and electro-magnetic interference (EMI).
Manual sensitivity allows the user to adjust the detector’s performance manually, when you have selected a sensitivity setting in the manual range the detector will not adjust levels like it does in the Auto or Auto+ modes. You may need to keep adjusting the manual sensitivity when in variable or heavily mineralised soil types.

WHEN I WAVE MY HAND OVER THE COIL THE DETECTOR BEEPS, WHY?

The GOLD MONSTER 1000 is very sensitive, when you wave your hand over the coil the detector can detect the salt in your blood.
When you are retrieving a target, you should always use the supplied plastic scoop to ensure you detect the desired target and not your hand.
Because the GOLD MONSTER 1000 is highly sensitive to salt detection it is not recommended for beach use.

I KEEP HEARING CHATTERING OR HAVE INSTABILITY, WHY?

Chattering, or inconsistent audio is generally a sign that the detector is picking up interference from ground mineralisation or electro-magnetic interference (EMI). If you are in Auto +, try adjusting the sensitivity to Auto or a lower manual sensitivity. If lowering the sensitivity doesn’t fix the issue, then you should move away from sources of EMI. (power lines, cellular phone towers, power generators, thunder/electrical storms, etc.)

I KEEP HEARING RANDOM DETECTION BEEPS BUT THERE IS NO TARGET IN THE GROUND, WHY?

Random detection beeps can be caused by mineralisation in the soil. The GOLD MONSTER 1000 has an auto-tracking ground balance feature that continually monitors the minerals in the soil and adjusts the detectors’ ground balance. Rapid changes or high levels of mineralisation in the soil can cause the detector to false signal, if this happens, pump the coil up and down (0.5 - 10cm / 0.2 - 4”) over the areas that are giving false signals. This will help ground balance the detector to the mineralisation in the soil.
If the mineralisation level is too high, then lower the sensitivity to compensate for the mineralisation level.

WHEN I LIFT MY COIL IN THE AIR I HEAR NOISE, HOW DO I QUIETEN THE DETECTOR?

Lifting your coil into the air will amplify any noise that is in the area. Minelab does not suggest doing this as this is not how our products are designed to be used. Lifting the coil slightly into the air is acceptable when performing a Noise Cancel, once the Noise Cancel is complete the coil should always be kept near the surface of the soil to avoid interference.

CAN I CONNECT WIRELESS HEADPHONES TO MY GOLD MONSTER 1000?

No, the GOLD MONSTER 1000 does not have any wireless capability. You can plug in any 3.5mm (1/8”) stereo headphones to the rear of the control pod.

WHAT IS THE BATTERY RUN/CHARGE TIME?

The GOLD MONSTER 1000 will operate for approximately 12 hours when commencing with a fully charged Li-Ion battery. Charging the battery will typically take 5 to 6 hours.

IS IT SAFE TO CHARGE BATTERY FROM 24V TRUCK BATTERY?

No, the GOLD MONSTER 1000 battery should only be charged from a nominal 12V car battery system when charging from a vehicle.

CAN THE SOFTWARE IN THE GOLD MONSTER 1000 BE UPGRADED?

No, the software in the GOLD MONSTER 1000 cannot be upgraded.

CTX 3030:我关闭了WM 10而现在我听不到探测器,为什么?

在会话中,如果启用了WM 10无线模块并且探测器已连接到它,那么您将听到预期的音调。如果您关闭WM 10,它将“静音”探测器。重新启动探测器,您将能够听到音调。

CTX 3030:我应该在使用之前对探测器进行地面平衡吗?

CTX 3030具有与Explorer SE Pro和E-TRAC型号类似的接地补偿功能,在大多数地面条件下都能很好地工作,因此在大多数情况下无需对CTX 3030进行地面平衡。地面平衡应仅在“极端矿化地面”中进行。不要在沙滩上进行地面平衡,这会“混淆”探测器。

CTX 3030:当WM 10连接时,为什么播放音不起作用?

这是一项标准功能,当您执行“音色ID配置文件编辑”,并选择“播放音调”或“全部播放”时,如果连接了WM 10无线模块,音色将不会响起。

CTX 3030:当我从使用耳机切换到WM 10时,音量设置是否会“改变”?

有4种不同的音量设置。 CTX 3030记得每个设置是什么。如果在使用耳机时关闭音量,然后拔下耳机,则外部扬声器音量将不会改变之前的设置。

CTX 3030:如何安装扭锁式扶手?

CTX 3030:什么是组合音频?

组合音频为高铁质物体和具有不同导电率的物体产生不同的音调。首先,您将铁质线(水平线)设置在您想要的铁质目标的位置,以提供音频响应。例如,如果将其设置为21,则任何具有21或更高(更大数字)的铁读数的目标将产生您为黑色目标编程的音频。另一方面,如果目标的铁读数小于21,则音频响应将基于其导电特性。在组合音频中,您有四个“分档”代表导电组,导电数字从01 - 50开始。您只需移动线条代表不同的目标组,并为每个组分配一个音调。例如,您可以使用01和14处的行设置bin one。任何铁质值小于21且导电值为14或更小的目标都会落入此bin并通过编程提供与之关联的音频音调。

例如,Bin 2可以代表15到28之间的目标.Bin 3可以代表29-40的目标,bin 4可以是CO值为41-50的导电目标的其余部分。这些例子中使用的数字,如果当你通过FE值为12且CO值为44的目标时,它会提供你分配给导电箱4的导电音。如果您通过ID为11 - 22的目标,它将提供分配给导电箱2的音调。同样,用户可以调整大小并为每个目标组(bin)分配音调。对于那些喜欢使用E-TRAC在Two Tone Ferrous进行狩猎的人来说,这更进一步让您可以调整FE线,并将CO目标分解为四个独立的组。

CTX 3030:如何优化寻找黄金首饰?

黄金可以在10-09到13-30范围内的任何地方ID,并且可能在此范围之外。有时导电读数可能非常低,如02,所以为了提高你真正需要挖掘所有东西的机会,包括铝箔和拉片。

关于设置,标准的海滩模式非常合适。您可以做的一件事是将Tone ID配置文件更改为Ferrous 35.这样做可以使低导电珠宝产生比导电型材更高的色调,使其更容易识别。您也可以选择组合,并自定义音调以满足您的个人喜好。

对于咸水海滩,建议使用手动灵敏度,除非您的海滩具有高水平的磁化矿化。如果您的装置在灵敏度18上运行良好且稳定,请尝试将其推高一些。在您实际在盐水中检测到的情况下,请打开海水设置。

一些海滩精梳机经常做的另一件事是稍微打开歧视模式。主要是略微降低铁质排斥或只是在模式2中搜索(只需按下并释放“检测”按钮)。强烈建议在垃圾级别较低的海滩上使用。在这种情况下,您可以尝试的另一件事是将音频响应更改为LONG。这可以提高您听到珠宝可以产生的微弱目标响应的能力。

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MULTI-IQ AND MULTI-IQ+?

MULTI-IQ+ is the next generation of MULTI-IQ technology and provides more power with lower electromagnetic interference (EMI) in built up areas.
This provides superior performance and depth allowing users to find previously undetectable targets in most locations.

MANTICORE 的性能与 EQUINOX 探测器相比如何?

MANTICORE 几乎在所有方面都胜过 EQUINOX 探测器,因为 MANTICORE 中使用的 MULTI-IQ+ 技术提供了更强大的功能和更快的处理速度,这意味着更好的探测深度、增强的恢复速度、更多的灵敏度调节和先进的 2D 识别屏幕,可在用户挖掘前为他们提供有关目标的更多信息。

哪些线圈与 MANTICORE 兼容?

只有 Minelab MANTICORE 线圈与 MANTICORE 探测器兼容。

目前没有其他线圈与 MANTICORE 兼容。
配件线圈可从您当地的 Minelab 经销商处购买。要查找离您最近的经销商,请使用我们的在线经销商定位工具。

ML85 和 ML105 耳机有什么区别?

ML105 耳机包含在 MANTICORE 探测器的包装盒中,是一种挂耳式耳机,泡沫垫贴在您的头上,围绕着耳朵。
ML85 耳机是一种耳挂式耳机,泡沫垫位于耳朵外部。

不同预设模式之间有什么区别?

全地形通用:对大多数目标和条件均具有出色的全面性能。提供出色的目标分离和出色的垃圾剔除能力。
全地形快速:提高恢复速度,提供出色的目标分离和良好的焦炭抑制效果。
全地形高导体:非常适合银币堆或铜目标等高导体,并提供良好的目标 ID 分离。
全地形低导体:非常适合小型/薄型物体,例如锤击硬币或纯金首饰。
全地形垃圾剔除:用于垃圾区。最大程度剔除铁质金属

海滩通用:在干沙或湿沙上使用时,对大多数目标和海滩条件均具有出色的全面性能。提供出色的目标分离和出色的垃圾排除能力。
沙滩低导体:非常适合用于探测金链等细小目标。适用于干沙和湿沙。
海滩深度:较低的回收速度可为金链等细小目标提供极佳的深度。适用于干沙和湿沙。
海滩冲浪和海水:非常适合困难的咸水条件,包括水下或冲浪探测。

金矿通用模式: 非常适合在良性至中等矿化土壤中探测小块金。此模式在探测金块时具有更好的整体性能,并包含连续音调音频,以帮助用户听到微弱的目标响应。不建议在垃圾区使用此模式。

为何没有铁质 ID?

当频率设置为 MULTI-IQ+ 时,铁质目标会分配一个与非铁质目标相同比例的目标 ID,该 ID 会显示在与非铁质目标 ID 相同的比例上。当内部处理器将目标归类为铁质时,探测器会发出低音频音,同时目标 ID 号下方会显示红色铁质指示器,2D 屏幕会指示目标出现在屏幕顶部或底部,远离中央导电线。

*图片仅供参考。*

为什么铁质目标会出现在中心线的上方和下方?

具有与某些硬币类似的铁质和导电特性的复杂铁质目标通常会出现在 2D 屏幕的下半部分。
较大的铁质目标将会出现在屏幕顶部。

还可能存在一些具有圆柱形状的大型铁质目标,例如具有高导电性能的大型螺栓,这些类型的目标可以在铁质和非铁质区域中显示目标轨迹。

*图片仅供参考。*

铁质限度和鉴别力之间有什么区别?

辨别功能允许用户接受或拒绝单个或一组目标 ID。调整辨别功能时,铁质和非铁质目标 ID 都会发生变化。这显示为一条垂直线,将选定目标 ID 的铁质和非铁质部分都变灰。

铁质限值允许用户调整探测器参数,以确定探测到的是铁质目标还是非铁质目标。这些参数可在 2D 屏幕的上半部分和下半部分进行调整。

*图片仅供参考。*

MULTI-IQ+ 总是比单频率更好吗?

一般而言,使用检测器时,多频率优于单频率。然而,在某些特殊情况下,特定频率可能具有独特的优势。
*请注意,使用单一频率时,铁磁性物质限制将被禁用,铁磁性物质目标将提供 1 到 19 的目标 ID,并在屏幕上显示红色铁磁性物质指示*

锂离子电池一次充电可以使用多长时间?

充满电后典型运行时间约为10 小时。MANTICORE 探测器还可以直接由支持 0.5A 或 2A(@ 5V)输出能力的任何 USB 移动电源供电。这实际上提供了连续运行时间,仅受所用移动电源的限制。

*当 MANTICORE 探测器连接到 USB 移动电源时,您无法在水下使用它*

我可以使用 QUICKCHARGE™ USB 充电器吗?

MANTICORE 探测器支持符合 USB 2.0 标准的设备充电。QuickCharge™ 是高通开发的专有标准,使用更高的电压,与MANTICORE 探测器不兼容

锂离子电池充满电需要多长时间?

使用高容量充电器 (>1.7A @ 5V) 充电时,从完全没电到 100% 的充电时间约为7 小时

任何兼容 USB 电池充电 1.2 (BC1.2) 的标准 USB 端口均可用于为电池充电,但如果使用低功率选项,充电时间可能会更长。

内置锂离子电池的寿命是多长?

所有电池的寿命都取决于多种因素,这些因素通常在某种程度上可由用户控制;例如温度、存储时的充电水平、充电周期等。锂离子电池寿命缩短的最常见原因是将充满电的电池放在高温下。

与我们探测器中使用的所有组件一样,我们严格从负责任的供应商处采购现代高品质组件。我们不希望用户在多年使用中遇到任何电池问题。根据我们对使用锂离子电池的 CTX 3030 和 GPZ 7000 探测器的经验,绝大多数用户从未需要购买替换电池。

如何最大程度地延长电池寿命?

  • 避免在极端温度下充电或使用。
  • 避免剧烈的温度波动。
  • 仅使用信誉良好的制造商生产的 USB 充电器。避免使用第三方所谓的超快速充电器,这些充电器声称可以在一小时内为锂离子电池充满电。
  • 在长时间存放探测器之前,应将电池充电至约 50-60%。在 MANTICORE 电池状态指示器上,2 格是长时间存放的最佳电量。在长期存放期间定期保持 2 格电量也是明智之举。在低于 30oC (86'F) 的温度下长期存放也会最大限度地减少锂离子电池寿命的缩短。

我可以使用哪种 USB 充电器为 MANTICORE 充电?

为 MANTICORE 电池充电时,请仅使用信誉良好且经过认证的 USB 充电器,详情如下:

  • 高品质 2A USB 充电器,容量为 1.7A @ +5V,充满电时间约为 7 小时。 *典型示例是 Apple™ 和 Samsung™ 品牌充电器。*
  • 标准 USB 2.0 端口容量为 0.5A @ +5V,完全充电时间约为 24 小时。
  • 计算机上的任何 USB 2.0 端口。 (容量为 0.5A,充满电约需 24 小时)
  • USB 移动电源。 (容量 0.5A,充满电约需 24 小时)

我可以更换电池吗?

手柄内的锂离子电池可更换,保修期为  自购买之日起 6 个月。Minelab 建议使用授权服务中心,以避免损坏防水密封并使探测器保修失效。

我可以用 USB 移动电源检测吗?

是的,在陆地上检测时没有任何限制。但是,在充电或连接到移动电源时,探测器不得在水下使用。

当我使用 USB 移动电源时,电池会充电吗?

是的。如果使用检测仪时,使用 USB 移动电源供电,如果移动电源有足够的剩余容量,电池的充电速度可能会较慢。

在海滩上使用 EQUINOX 系列探测器后,我应该清洗它吗?

是的。在水中或海滩上探测后,最好用干净的淡水清洗探测器。切勿使用研磨剂或溶剂清洁探测器。

在水中使用之前,我需要在探测器上涂上油脂吗?

否。无需润滑或涂油脂,包括防水密封件。使用任何石油基油脂都会损坏防水密封件并使保修失效。

我在水中检测。我应该使用哪种耳机?

如果涉水较深或完全浸没,我们建议仅使用Minelab 防水耳机。这些耳机具有经过特殊设计的连接器,与 MANTICORE 一起使用时可形成防水密封。这些耳机可作为配件从您当地的 Minelab 经销商处购买。

Why Aren't There Any Interchangeable Coils?

Hardwired coils are more reliable for deep diving detectors.

Can I Use Rechargeable 1.2v Cells In The Alkaline Pack?

No, 8 x 1.2V is only 9.6V, and these detectors require 12V to function.

Why Is My Threshold Very Loud, Even With The Control Turned Down?

Check to ensure the battery is fully charged. A low battery causes the threshold to get very loud and the response becomes erratic.

What Special Tips Do You Have?

Salt, sand and grit will accumulate on the Excalibur II. So make sure you thoroughly rinse it with fresh water after use, including the coil cover, shafts and battery pack. Don't forget the vent holes on each headphone diaphragm as these need to be clear if used for diving purposes to allow for ear equalisation.

IS THE MULTI-IQ THE SAME BETWEEN THE EQUINOX 600/800 AND THE EQUINOX 700/900?

The Multi-IQ engine in all EQUINOX series is the same, there are however processor enhancements in the EQUINOX 700 and EQUINOX 900 that allow the detector to provide users with better Iron Bias, target separation and discrimination depth.

WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE DETECT MODE SEARCH PROFILES?

Park 1 (General/Coins)
Park 1 is optimised for modern coins and larger jewellery with a default discrimination pattern set to reject many common aluminium foil-like targets. Therefore, this is the ideal Profile to start with to learn EQUINOX before experimenting with the other Modes and more specialist settings. Park 1 Multi-IQ processes a lower frequency weighting of the multi-frequency signal, as well as using algorithms that maximise ground balancing for soil to achieve the best signal-to-noise ratio. Hence Park 1 is most suited for general detecting and coin hunting.

Park 2 (Fine jewellery)
Park 2 is ideal for smaller targets in trash-infested (including ferrous trash) locations. It will detect a wider range of targets including low conductor (or higher frequency) targets, e.g. fine jewellery. All non-ferrous targets are accepted by default. Recovery Speed is increased to clearly identify good targets masked by iron trash. Target Tone is set to maximum to provide as much target information as possible via audio. Park 2 Multi-IQ processes a higher frequency weighted multi-frequency signal while ground balancing for soil.

Field 1 (Coins and Artefacts)
Field 1 is for general hunting with high trash rejection. This assists in locating desired targets more easily. The default discrimination pattern is set to reject most coke signals. The first Tone Break is set so that the coke signals will produce the same low tone as ferrous targets. Field 1 Multi-IQ processes a lower frequency weighted multi-frequency signal, as well as using algorithms that maximise ground balancing for soil, to achieve the best signal to noise ratio. Hence being most suited for general detecting and coin hunting.

Field 2 (Fine coins and Artefacts)
Field 2 suits locations with high target and trash densities. It will better detect small hammered coins on their edge or at greater depth. The default discrimination pattern is set to reject most coke signals. Target Tone is set to maximum to enhance audio identification and Recovery Speed is faster. The first Tone Break has been set so that the coke signals will produce the same low tone as ferrous targets. Field 2 Multi-IQ processes a higher frequency weighted multi-frequency signal while ground balancing for soil.

Beach 1
Beach 1 is most useful for detecting in wet or dry beach sand and also in shallow water where conductive salt signals are prevalent. It has good sensitivity to coins and small/large jewellery. Beach 1 reduces the salt signal, while maintaining high transmit power, and still being sensitive to desirable targets. Beach 1 Multi-IQ processes a low frequency weighted multi-frequency signal, and uses special algorithms to maximise ground balancing for salt

Beach 2
Beach 2 gives the best results when either wading or shallow diving with the coil and/or detector fully submerged. In these instances, there is a very strong salt signal present, so Beach 2 has a lower transmit power, which results in much less noise. This profile may also be useful in dry conditions where there are extremely high ground noise levels. Beach 2 Multi-IQ processes a very low weighted multi-frequency combination, using the same algorithms as Beach 1 to maximise ground balancing for salt.

Multi-IQ (EQUINOX 800 & 900 only)

Gold 1
Gold 1 is suitable for searching for small gold nuggets in ‘mild’ ground. Most goldfield locations have a variable level of iron mineralisation that will require an ongoing Ground Balance adjustment, therefore Tracking Ground Balance is the default setting. The audio Threshold Level and Threshold Pitch are optimised for hunting for gold nuggets. Gold 1 Multi-IQ processes a high frequency weighted multi-frequency signal, while ground balancing for mineralised soil.


Gold 2
Gold 2 is best for searching for deeper gold nuggets in ‘difficult’ ground conditions. Gold 2 has a lower Recovery Speed, which will increase detection depth. However, more ground noise in more heavily mineralised grounds may result. Tracking Ground Balance is the default setting. The audio Threshold Level and Threshold Pitch are optimised for hunting for gold nuggets. Gold 2 Multi-IQ processes a high frequency weighted multifrequency signal, while ground balancing for mineralised soil.

WHAT IMPROVEMENTS DOES THE EQUINOX 700 AND 900 HAVE OVER THE EQUINOX 600 AND 800?

EQUINOX 700
•    Weight has been decreased to 1.27kg (2.8lb)

  • EQUINOX 600 and EQUINOX 800 have a weight of 1.34kg (2.95lbs)

WHAT IS THE COMPACTED LENGTH OF THE EQUINOX 700 / EQUINOX 900?

The new carbon fiber shaft design allows users to pack the detector down to 61cm (24 in) and has a full extension of 144cm (56.7 in)

HOW DOES THE EQUINOX 700 AND 900 PERFORMANCE COMPARE WITH EQUINOX 600 AND 800?

Depth performance will differ depending on conditions and detector settings. Beach performance is better overall. Enhancements have been made to improve recovery speed, target separation and discrimination depth allowing users to have solid target IDs at better depths. EQUINOX 900 comes with 28 levels of sensitivity allowing more depth where environmental conditions allow the sensitivity to be turned up.

WHAT ARE THE FREQUENCY DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE EQUINOX 600, 700, 800 & 900?

WHEN SHOULD I USE GOLD MODE ON THE EQUINOX 800 OR 900?

Gold Mode is designed to enhance performance on small gold nuggets in mineralized ground. It does so primarily by using different audio processing so that targets respond both in volume and pitch. The Gold Mode will be of interest to gold prospectors but has less application for other uses.

CAN I STILL FIND GOLD WITH AN EQUINOX 600 OR 700?

While the EQUINOX 600 and 700 do not have a dedicated Gold prospecting mode. Multi-IQ is so good in both Park 2 and Field 2, that these profiles are as good, or better, at finding gold nuggets than many dedicated single-frequency gold detectors. Multi-IQ provides very stable ID’s which is great for choosing what targets to dig in a goldfield.

WHAT IS IRON BIAS?

Iron Bias is a setting that lets you choose how you want iron in the ground to sound. If you have a low setting, more of the iron will come through as a good target to dig up. This will also give you the best chance of finding any valuable non-ferrous targets nestled among the iron.

However, if you desire to hear less false audio sounds from the iron in the ground, try increasing the Iron Bias setting.

IS THE IRON BIAS THE SAME ACROSS THE EQUINOX SERIES?

The Iron Bias in the EQUINOX 700 and EQUINOX 900 has had some changes to improve discrimination depth.
EQUINOX 600 and 800 have the option to choose either FE Iron Bias or F2 Iron Bias. FE Iron Bias will provide control over the target ID response. F2 Iron Bias will provide tone and target ID response adjustment for a wider range of ferrous targets. 
Iron Bias in the EQUINOX 700 and EQUINOX 900 is based off the F2 Iron Bias in the EQUINOX 600 and EQUINOX 800 but allows even better overall depth detection and target separation. Because of this there is no F2 option available in the EQUINOX 700 or EQUINOX 900.

WHAT ACCESSORY COILS ARE AVAILABLE?

  • EQX06 / EQX|06 (3011-0462 6” round Double-D coil)
  • EQX11 / EQX|11 (3011-0463 11” round Double-D coil)
  • EQX15 / EQX|15 (3011-0464 15”x12” Double-D coil)

CAN I USE AN AFTERMARKET COIL?

Yes, Coiltek Coils manufacture Minelab approved aftermarket coils for the EQUINOX and X-TERRA-PRO detectors.

Coiltek NOX coils.

CAN I USE A COIL FROM A DIFFERENT MODEL SUCH AS THE CTX 3030 OR VANQUISH ON AN EQUINOX?

No, they have different technology requirements and are not compatible. Only Minelab EQX coils are compatible with EQUINOX series detectors.

WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF HAVING 119 TARGET IDS?

Having a larger target ID scale allows the detector to provide the user with more information on the target prior to digging it. This allows users to identify more targets individually which will help determine if the target is valuable or trash.

IS MULTI ALWAYS BETTER THAN THE SINGLE FREQUENCIES?

In general, Multi is superior to the single frequencies when using an EQUINOX. However, there may be specialised situations where a particular frequency has a unique advantage. The EQUINOX Series offers users simultaneous Multi-Frequency plus a wide range of single selectable frequencies for specialist situations.

CAN I RESET AN INDIVIDUAL SEARCH PROFILE?

Yes, there is no need to perform a full factory reset. Individual Search Profiles can easily be returned to their factory preset settings. Only the local settings will be reset and any global settings will remain in their last-use state.

  1. Navigate to the Detect Mode Search Profile you wish to reset.
  2. Press and hold the Detect Mode button for 5 seconds.
  3. SP will appear on the Target ID Display when a Detect Mode Search Profile is reset.

CAN I DETECT OVER BLACK SAND ON A BEACH?

Beach Mode automatically senses black sand and reduces the transmit power to ensure that targets can still be detected without overloading occurring. When black sand is sensed, the Beach Overload Indicator will appear on the LCD. When this icon disappears, full transmit power automatically resumes.

WHAT IS DEPTH PITCH?

Depth Pitch is an audio mode that provides a continuous pitch audio with no threshold tone. It provides separate audio for ferrous and non-ferrous targets with a variable pitch.

Small or deep targets providing a weaker signal will have a lower pitch.

Large or shallow targets providing a stronger signal will have a higher pitch.

HOW ROBUST IS THE EQUINOX 700 AND EQUINOX 900?

EQUINOX 700 and EQUINOX 900 have been designed to handle harsh outdoor environments. Our testing includes drop tests up to 1m, flex and water ingress testing. Both models are IP68 rated and can be submerged up to 5m (16ft)

CAN WE USE THE NEW CARBON FIBER SHAFTS ON THE EQUINOX 600 OR EQUINOX 800?

Middle and Lower shafts can be mixed. They are not identical in size so they may not provide an exact fit. Upper shafts cannot be changed as the physical mounting point of the control pod is different.

CAN I USE THE MAGNETIC CHARGER SUPPLIED WITH THE EQUINOX 600 OR 800 ON THE EQUINOX 700 OR 900?

Yes. The supplied magnetic USB charge cable can be used on all EQUINOX models, MANTICORE and X-TERRA PRO detectors.

HOW LONG DOES THE LI-ION BATTERY TAKE TO FULLY CHARGE?

The charge time, from completely flat to 100%, is approximately 4 hours when charged with a high capacity charger (>1.7A @ 5V).

WHAT IS THE LIFESPAN OF THE BUILT-IN LI-ION BATTERY?

Longevity for all batteries depends on a number of factors that are often controllable to some degree by the user; such as temperature, charge levels when stored, charge cycles etc. The most common cause of reduced life of Li-ION batteries is keeping a fully charged battery at elevated temperatures.

As with all components used in our detectors, we stringently source only modern high quality components from responsible vendors. We do not expect users to experience any battery issues over years of use. Our experience with the CTX 3030 and GPZ 7000 detectors which both use Li-ION batteries is that the vast majority of users have never needed to purchase a replacement battery.

HOW CAN I MAXIMISE MY BATTERY LIFE?

•    Avoid charging or using in extreme temperatures.
•    Avoid rapid extreme temperature swings.
•    Use only Minelab or Minelab recommended USB chargers and avoid so-called ultrafast chargers from third-parties that claim to fully charge Li-ION batteries in less than one hour.
•     Before storing the detector for prolonged periods, the battery should be charged to approximately 50-60%. On the EQUINOX Battery Status Indicator, 2-bars is the optimum charge for prolonged storage. Maintaining the 2-bar charge periodically during extended storage is also advisable. Extended storage in temperatures less than 30oC (86’F) will also minimize degradation to Li-ION battery life

WHICH USB CHARGERS CAN I USE TO CHARGE THE EQUINOX?

Use only reputable and certified USB Chargers when charging the EQUINOX battery as detailed below:

  1. High Quality 2A USB Chargers with a minimum capacity of 2A @ +5V will yield a full charge time of approximately 4 hours. a. Typical examples are Apple™ and Samsung™ branded chargers.
  2. Standard USB 2.0 Port with a maximum capacity of 0.5A @ +5V will yield a full charge time of approximately 18 hours.
  3. Any USB 2.0 Port on a computer. (0.5A capacity, approximately 18 hours for a full charge)
  4. A USB Power bank. (0.5A capacity, approximately 18 hours for a full charge)

HOW LONG DOES THE LI-ION BATTERY LAST ON A SINGLE CHARGE?

Typical runtime, from a full charge using wired headphones, is approximately 12 hours. The EQUINOX Series detectors can also be powered directly from any USB Power Bank that supports 0.5A or 2A (@ 5V) output capability. This effectively gives a continuous runtime only limited by the power banks being used.

How does VANQUISH performance compare with EQUINOX?

VANQUISH depth performance is similar but not quite as deep as the EQUINOX. However, EQUINOX detectors are more configurable for varying conditions. 

What frequencies does VANQUISH use?

Minelab does not publish the exact frequencies of Multi-IQ technology used in the VANQUISH Series. These frequencies are similar to the Multi-IQ mode in the EQUINOX Series.

Does VANQUISH have single selectable frequencies?

The VANQUISH Series detectors only use Multi-IQ (simultaneous multi-frequency) technology.

How do Target IDs on VANQUISH compare to EQUINOX?

Target IDs on VANQUISH are the same as the Target IDs on EQUINOX.

What Recovery Speeds are used by VANQUISH?

Recovery speed varies depending on the mode selected.

  • Coin mode has the fastest recovery speed so that it can quickly isolate targets from trash.
  • Relic mode has the slowest recovery speed and achieves the greatest depth. However, it has slightly reduced target separation ability.
  • Jewellery mode has a medium recovery speed that balances target separation and depth. This makes it a great all-round setting to use.

What Recovery Speed does “Custom” have?

The Custom mode is programmable. If you program custom mode, it will adopt the recovery speed from the mode you program it to, e.g. coin mode = fast recovery speed, jewellery = medium recovery speed, relic = slow recovery speed.

Why do my discrimination patterns get deleted when I turn off the detector?

When the detector is switched off, discrimination patterns in coin, jewellery & relic modes are all reset. Custom mode will keep its saved discrimination pattern.

What coils are available for VANQUISH?

There are three coils available for VANQUISH.  These are: 

  • V12 (12 x 9" Double-D)
  • V10 (10 x 7" Double-D)

WHAT IS PRO-SWITCH TECHNOLOGY?

PRO-SWITCH technology is a single frequency VLF technology that allows the user to switch transmit frequencies at the touch of a button to optimise performance.
Changing frequency gives detectorists the ability to adjust frequencies to move away from noise or optimise detection ability when hunting for specific metal targets.
Park and Field modes have 5kHz, 10kHz and 15kHz selectable frequencies. Beach modes have an 8kHz single frequency for high salt mineralisation.

IS MULTI-IQ TECHNOLOGY BETTER THAN PRO-SWITCH TECHNOLOGY?

MULTI-IQ will provide superior results when compared to PRO-SWITCH. There may be situations where the PRO-SWITCH technology can perform equally as well as MULTI-IQ. This will depend on how the user has optimised the detector settings.
Multi-IQ will provide maximum performance in all situations as the internal processor does all the hard work. PRO-SWITCH relies on the user to ensure the detector is set to its optimal performance capability.

SHOULD I PURCHASE AN X-TERRA PRO OR A VANQUISH? THE PRICES ARE SIMILAR.

VANQUISH detectors with MULTI-IQ are a switch-on and go type detector designed to have excellent performance but still be very easy to use with minimal setting adjustments. This is possible as the MULTI-IQ processor does all the hard work for you.
X-TERRA PRO is a high performing single frequency detector designed for the more committed detectorist looking for a well-priced detector with great performance. Users have the ability to adjust transmit frequency which provides more control allowing detectorists to tune the detection performance when hunting for specific targets. The X-TERRA PRO is waterproof to 5 meters (15 feet) and provides superior performance when compared to any other single frequency detector currently on the market.
Target ID’s on the X-TERRA PRO will generally not be quite as stable as MULTI-IQ target ID’s and MULTI-IQ detectors will generally provide superior performance when in conductive (salty) soils.

WHAT COILS ARE COMPATIBLE WITH THE X-TERRA PRO?

The X-TERRA PRO comes with a V12X 12” Elliptical Double-D coil in the box, you can purchase the below accessory coils from your local Minelab dealership. Any coil that is compatible with the EQUINOX detectors is also compatible with the X-TERRA PRO.

  • V8X 8” Elliptical Double-D coil (3011-0457)
  • V10X 10” Elliptical Double-D coil (3011-0458)
  • EQX|06 (6” round Double-D coil) (3011-0462)
  • EQX|11 (11” round Double-D coil) (3011-0463)
  • ​​​​​​​EQX|15 (15”x12” elliptical Double-D coil) (3011-0464)

WHICH FREQUENCY SHOULD I CHOOSE WHEN DETECTING WITH THE X-TERRA PRO?

10kHz is the best all-round frequency to start detecting with as it provides good depth and sensitivity across a range of different targets.
It is expected when running a lower transmit frequency on the X-TERRA PRO that performance on high conductors containing silver or copper will provide similar depths to MULTI-IQ detectors.
It is expected when running a higher transmit frequency on the X-TERRA PRO that performance on lower conductors containing gold will provide similar depths to MULTI-IQ detectors.

HOW DOES X-TERRA PRO PERFORM AT THE BEACH OR IN SALTY CONDITIONS?

At the beach in salty conditions most single frequency detectors struggle with the mineralisation. The X-TERRA PRO provides unprecedented performance for a single frequency VLF detector in salty conditions.

CAN I RESET AN INDIVIDUAL SEARCH PROFILE?

Yes, there is no need to perform a full factory reset. Individual Search Profiles can easily be returned to their factory preset settings. Only the local settings will be reset and any global settings will remain in their last-use state.

  • Navigate to the Detect Mode Search Profile you wish to reset.
  • Press and hold the Detect Mode button for 5 seconds.
  • SP will appear on the Target ID Display when a Detect Mode Search Profile is reset.

CAN I USE WIRELESS AUDIO WITH MY X-TERRA PRO?

Yes, you can purchase the Minelab ML85 headphones, ML105 headphones or the WM09 wireless module. These are all compatible with the X-TERRA PRO.
There are currently no aftermarket wireless headphones available for the X-TERRA PRO.

CAN I USE BLUETOOTH HEADPHONES WITH MY X-TERRA PRO?

The X-TERRA PRO uses a proprietary wireless audio that is not compatible with any current versions of BLUETOOTH. The Minelab ML85 or ML105 headphones and WM09 wireless module are compatible with the X-TERRA PRO and are available from your local authorised Minelab dealership.

WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE DETECT MODE SEARCH PROFILES?

Park 1 provides a default 10kHz transmit frequency and is optimised for detecting modern coins and larger jewellery. This is a good mode to learn the X-TERRA PRO before experimenting with other settings.

Park 2 provides a default 15kHz transmit frequency and is optimised for detecting fine jewellery and smaller targets in trash infested areas. Recovery speed in Park 2 is increased to clearly identify good targets masked by iron trash.

Field 1 provides a default 10kHz transmit frequency and is optimised for detecting modern coins and general detecting. It has a high trash rejection which makes it an ideal detect mode for areas containing coke.

Field 2 provides a default 15kHz transmit frequency and is optimised for locations with high target and trash densities. This mode is great for coins on edge or sitting at greater depths. It has a high trash rejection which makes it an ideal detect mode for areas containing coke.

Beach 1 provides a default 8kHz transmit frequency and is optimised for dry and wet sand. Beach 1 mode has a lower recovery speed for better depth across all targets and is good for detecting coins and small to large jewellery.

Beach 2 provides a default 8kHz transmit frequency and is optimised for underwater usage where a very strong salt signal is present. To compensate for the high salt content Beach 2 has a lower transmit power. Beach 2 has a higher recovery speed to aid in saltwater rejection. It can also be used in dry soils that are conductive (salty).

HOW LONG DOES THE LI-ION BATTERY LAST ON A SINGLE CHARGE?

Typical runtime, from a full charge using wired headphones, is approximately 16 hours. The X-TERRA PRO detector can also be powered directly from any USB Power Bank that supports 0.5A or 2A (@ 5V) output capability. This effectively gives a continuous runtime only limited by the capacity of the power bank.

CAN I USE QUICKCHARGE™ USB CHARGERS?

The X-TERRA PRO detector supports charging from devices that comply to the USB 2.0 standard. QuickCharge™ is a proprietary standard develop by Qualcomm that uses a higher voltage and is not compatible with X-TERRA PRO detectors.

HOW LONG DOES THE LI-ION BATTERY TAKE TO FULLY CHARGE?

The charge time, from completely flat to 100%, is approximately 4 hours when charged with a high capacity charger (>1.7A @ 5V).

WHAT IS THE LIFESPAN OF THE BUILT-IN LI-ION BATTERY?

Longevity for all batteries depends on a number of factors that are often controllable to some degree by the user; such as temperature, charge levels when stored, charge cycles etc. The most common cause of reduced life of Li-ION batteries is keeping a fully charged battery at elevated temperatures.
As with all components used in our detectors, we stringently source only modern high quality components from responsible vendors. We do not expect users to experience any battery issues over years of use. Our experience with the CTX 3030 and GPZ 7000 detectors which both use Li-ION batteries is that the vast majority of users have never needed to purchase a replacement battery.

HOW CAN I MAXIMISE MY BATTERY LIFE?

  • Avoid charging or using in extreme temperatures.
  • Avoid rapid extreme temperature swings.
  • Use only USB chargers from reputable manufacturers. Avoid so-called ultrafast chargers from third parties that claim to fully charge Li-ION batteries in less than one hour.
  •  Before storing the detector for prolonged periods, the battery should be charged to approximately 50-60%. On the X-TERRA PRO Battery Status Indicator, 2-bars is the optimum charge for prolonged storage. Maintaining the 2-bar charge periodically during extended storage is also advisable. Extended storage in temperatures less than 30oC (86’F) will also minimize degradation to Li-ION battery life.

WHICH USB CHARGERS CAN I USE TO CHARGE THE X-TERRA PRO?

Use only reputable and certified USB Chargers when charging the X-TERRA PRO battery as detailed below:

  • High Quality 2A USB Chargers with a capacity of 2A @ +5V will yield a full charge time of approximately 4 hours. a. Typical examples are Apple™ and Samsung™ branded chargers.
  • Standard USB 2.0 Port with a capacity of 0.5A @ +5V will yield a full charge time of approximately 18 hours.
  • Any USB 2.0 Port on a computer (0.5A capacity, approximately 18 hours for a full charge)
  • A USB Power bank (0.5A capacity, approximately 18 hours for a full charge)

我可以更换电池吗?

手柄内的锂离子电池可更换,保修期为 自购买之日起6 个月。Minelab 建议使用授权服务中心,以避免损坏防水密封并使探测器保修失效。

CAN I DETECT WITH A USB POWER BANK?

Yes, when detecting on land, without any limitations. However, the detector must not be used underwater whilst charging or when connected to a power bank.

DOES THE BATTERY CHARGE WHEN I USE A USB POWER BANK?

Yes. If the detector is being used, when powered by a USB power bank, the battery may charge at a slower rate if there is enough spare capacity in the power bank.

SHOULD I WASH MY X-TERRA PRO DETECTOR AFTER USING AT THE BEACH?

Yes. It is good practice to wash the detector with clean fresh water after detecting in water or on the beach. Never use abrasives or solvents to clean the detector.
Whenever washing or using your detector underwater always ensure that the plastic bung on the rear of the control pod is firmly screwed into the headphone jack.

DO I NEED TO PUT GREASE ON THE DETECTOR BEFORE USING IN WATER?

No. It is not necessary to lubricate or grease any part of the detector, including the waterproof seals. Using any petroleum-based grease will damage the waterproof seals and void the warranty.

I DETECT IN WATER. WHICH HEADPHONES SHOULD I USE?

If deep wading or fully submerged, we recommend using only Minelab Waterproof Headphones. These have a specially engineered connector that forms a waterproof seal when used with the X-TERRA PRO. These headphones are available as an accessory (Part Number: 3011-0372)

CAN I USE A DIFFERENT COIL ON THE X-TERRA VOYAGER?

No, the X-TERRA VOYAGER uses different technology to other detectors. You can only use the coil that is supplied in the box with the detector.

WHAT ACCESSORY COILS ARE AVAILABLE?

The X-TERRA VOYAGER does not have any accessory coils currently available.

HOW DEEP DOES THE DEPTH GAUGE INDICATE?

The depth gauge will provide an approximate indication of depth and should only be used as a guide as large or small metals will cause the gauge to become inaccurate. A coin sized object will provide the below estimated depths.
1 arrow = 1” (25mm)
2 arrows = 3” (75mm)
3 arrows = 5” (125mm)
4 arrows = 6” (150mm)
5 arrows = >6” (>150mm)

CAN I USE WIRELESS HEADPHONES WITH MY X-TERRA VOYAGER?

The X-TERRA VOYAGER does not have wireless capability. You can use a Bluetooth wireless transmit module with the detector. These are not available from Minelab and will have to be purchased separately.

WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE DETECT MODE SEARCH PROFILES?

All Metal allows the detector to detect all metal types. When in all metal mode there will be no discrimination of any metal types.
Custom provides users the ability to discriminate any of the target group icons at the top of the screen. You simply navigate through to the desired target group and the icon will flash for a few seconds and then it will disappear. All target ID’s in this target group will now be discriminated out.
To detect the discriminated target group simply navigate away from the target group and then navigate back to the desired target group. The icon will flash for a few seconds and then appear. All target ID’s in the target group will now detect again.
Jewelry provides discrimination pattern that ignores most iron/ferrous junk. You will also find coins, relics and other non-ferrous metals. This mode is good for trashy environments.
Learn allows users to detect 1 specific target group. You simply need to wave the desired metal over the detection coil, the detector will then learn this target ID and accept only targets ID’s within that target group.

HOW LONG DOES THE BATTERY LAST?

Typical runtime, when using new high quality 9-volt alkaline batteries is 20 hours.

HOW CAN I MAXIMISE MY BATTERY LIFE?

  • Remove the batteries after use. This will help the batteries retain any internal charge and avoid leaking. Leaking batteries can also damage the internal electronics of your detector. This type of damage is not covered under warranty.
  • Avoid rapid extreme temperature swings.
  • When detecting avoid using the backlight. When the backlight is not switched on this can help maximise battery life.
  • Use 3.5mm (1/8”) headphones. Using the headphones will use less battery when compared to using the detector’s loudspeaker.

SHOULD I WASH MY X-TERRA VOYAGER DETECTOR AFTER USING IT AT THE BEACH?

It is good practice to clean your detector after each use. Only fresh water should be used when cleaning. Never use abrasives or solvents to clean the detector. The detection coil is waterproof and can be washed with the hose. The Screen pod should only be carefully wiped with a clean damp cloth to avoid any water or moisture ingress.

DO I NEED TO PUT GREASE ON THE DETECTOR BEFORE USING IN WATER?

No. It is not necessary to lubricate or grease any part of the detector. Using any petroleum-based grease can damage the plastics and void the warranty.

HOW DO I SWITCH THE AUDIO ON AND OFF?

To disable the audio tones, you simply need to push and hold the "minus" button when powering the PRO-FIND 40 on.
To enable the audio tones, you simply need to push and hold the "plus" button when powering the PRO-FIND 40 on.

HOW DO I SWITCH THE FERROUS TONES ON AND OFF?

To disable the ferrous tones OFF simply push and hold the "minus" button when the PRO-FIND 40 is powered on and then wait for the long beep.
To enable the ferrous tones ON simply push and hold the "plus" button when the PRO-FIND 40 is powered on and then wait for the long beep.

CAN I SWITCH THE LED FLASHLIGHT OFF?

No, the LED flashlight cannot be adjusted.

CAN I TOGGLE THE VIBRATION ON/OFF?

No, the vibration cannot be toggled ON/OFF.

WHEN SHOULD I USE THE RAPID RE-TUNE FEATURE?

The Rapid Re-tune feature was designed so that users do not have to power cycle the pin-pointers to re-tune the PRO-FIND to the environment.
To re-tune the PRO-FIND 40 simply short-press the power button when the PRO-FIND 40 is powered on.

WHAT ADVANTAGE DOES THE ADJUSTABLE SENSITIVITY HAVE?

At maximum Sensitivity the PRO-FIND 40 can detect targets at greater distances which can be both an advantage and a disadvantage. To pinpoint a target sometimes it’s better to have a less sensitive probe to reduce the search area, so we have given you the ability to adjust it how you see fit. The Sensitivity may also need to be reduced in mineralised or salty soils, so that you are only detecting metal and not the minerals in the ground.

AFTER CONTINUED DIGGING, AND DETECTING A TARGET, I DON’T FIND ANYTHING, WHY?

Side detection occurring with the target (or multiple) in the side of the hole. Use the tip of the probe to check around the sides of the hole. Reducing the Sensitivity can also help.

CAN I USE MY PROFIND 40 WHEN I’M GOLD PROSPECTING?

Yes, but be aware that the PRO-FIND 40 won’t have the same sensitivity to very small nuggets as a quality Minelab metal detector. It will be a good aid in target recovery for larger nuggets.

CAN I WASH MY PROFIND 40?

Yes, the PRO-FIND 40 is waterproof to 3 meters (10ft) and can be washed. When washing always use clean fresh water.

HOW DOES THE AUTO POWER OFF SYSTEM WORK?

If no targets are detected or buttons pressed for 5 minutes, then the PRO-FIND 40 will start a slow constant beep (Lost Alarm) this alarm will sound for 5 minutes and then the PRO-FIND 40 will power off to save battery life.

WHY IS MY PROFIND 40 NOT POWERING UP?

The battery may be flat or inserted incorrectly. Replace the battery and/or check the battery orientation. If you are still having issues, contact your closest Minelab Service Centre.

THE LIGHT COMES ON AND THERE ARE 2 BEEPS, BUT NO DETECTION OCCURS, WHY?

The PRO-FIND 40 has a 3rd beep that notifies you that the pin-pointer has calibrated to the environment. This can sometimes take up to 30 seconds to occur depending on environmental conditions. You can short press the power button to perform a rapid re-tune. You should then hear a confirmation beep and the PRO-FIND 40 should now detect metals.

GENERAL TIPS.

Tips for switching on:

  • Make sure there is no metal close to the probe.
  • Listen for the third beep (short) before trying to detect any metals.
  • If it has been a long time since the unit was last used(several days) or there has been significant temperature change since it’s last use, then it may take up to 30 seconds to calibrate.

*Calibration usually takes less than a second when the unit has been used recently.*

In highly mineralised soils:

  • You may need to use the rapid re-tune feature, particularly if the soil has variable mineralisation levels.
  • You might benefit by reducing the sensitivity to ensure smooth operation.

专业发现15&35:自动关机系统如何工作?

如果几分钟内未检测到目标或按下按钮,则本机将发出丢失的警报,这将发出长哔声,因此您可以找到大头针。几分钟后,指针会自动关闭以延长电池寿命。

如果您在挖洞后将其遗留在地面上,则可以找到它。如果它仅处于振动模式,则不会发出哔声。缓慢鸣响5分钟后,设备将自行关闭。

专业发现15&35:为什么我的装置无法开机?

如果继续打开电池盖,可能会以错误的方式插入电池,但是很难拧紧。带键的塑料可防止电池凸耳接触触点-转动电池以解决此问题。

专业发现15&35:为什么会有哔哔声,却没有检测到,为什么?

开启Pro-Find后,您会听到2声哔哔声,接着是较短的第三次校准蜂鸣声。校准有时可能需要15到20秒,在将Pro-Find放置在任何金属物体附近之前,请等待此校准蜂鸣声出现。如果切换时Pro-Find接近金属,它将无法校准,因此需要重新启动Pro-Find。

专业发现15&35:在继续挖掘和检测目标之后,我什么也找不到

侧面检测发生在孔侧面的目标(或多个)上。使用探针的尖端检查孔的侧面。降低灵敏度也有帮助。

专业发现15&35:可以用于勘探吗?

是的,但要注意,它对很小的块的灵敏度与优质的Minelab金探测器不一样。对于较大的金块,这将是目标恢复的良好辅助。

专业意见35:可调节的灵敏度有哪些优势?

在最大灵敏度下,PRO-FIND 35可以检测更远距离的目标,这既有好处,也有缺点。有时要精确定位目标,最好使用灵敏度较低的探针以减小搜索区域,因此我们为您提供了调整其外观的能力。在矿化或盐渍土壤中可能还需要降低灵敏度,以便您仅检测金属而不检测地面。

专业意见35:我可以洗吗?

PRO-FIND 35完全防水至3米,因此您可以将销钉指针浸入水中进行清洁。在将销形指针浸入水中之前,请确保已完全拧紧电池盖。

专业意见15:我可以洗吗?

PRO-FIND 15仅防水。如果用拇指盖住扬声器的通风孔,则可以在流水下冲洗它。

专业意见15&35:一般提示

开启提示:

  • 确保探针附近没有金属
  • 在尝试检测到第三声哔哔声(简短)之前,先听一下
  • 如果自上次使用以来已经过了很长时间(几天)或自上次使用以来已经发生了明显的温度变化,则校准可能需要15至20秒的时间

最近使用本机时,校准通常不到一秒钟

在高度矿化的土壤中:

  • 使用按钮降低灵敏度以停止错误触发

开启和关闭音频(仅限Pro-Find 35):

  • 在打开本机的同时按住加号按钮以启用音频
  • 按住减号按钮,同时打开本机以关闭音频

开启和关闭黑色调(仅限Pro-Find 35):

  • 开机时按住加号按钮5秒钟以启用亚铁色调
