Basic Operation and Descriptions
Power On Button: Press once to activate the locator circuitry.
Simultaneously, the circuitry is automatically set to the proper
audio tone.
Power Off Button: Press once to turn the battery power off.
Volume Control: Rotate the knob to the desired audio sound
level. Full volume is achieved when the knob is turned full
clockwise.
Sensitivity Control: The sensitivity or depth range can be
varied with the rotation of the sensitivity knob. Maximum range
is provided at full clockwise rotation. The optimum setting is
determined by each particular application. Areas crowded with
various undesired ferrous metal may require a reduced sen-
sitivity level. Deeply buried objects being searched will require
the higher sensitivities.
Control Knob Decal: The markings for both the sensitivity
and volume control knobs are provided as a reference for
future settings or comparisons.
Speaker: When no magnetic metal is present the audio
sound heard will be a low frequency tone. As ferrous metals
are approached the audio tone will increase.
LCD Visual Display: Several visual display functions are pro-
vided for ease of operation as defined below.
Ferrous–Defines the basic function of the locator as a
“ferrous locator” (fixed indicator).
Digital Signal Indicator–A two digit numeric display
shows the relative signal level related to the audio
signal response being heard from the speaker. At the
lowest signal level when no magnetic metal is present
a small number will be viewed between “0” and “5”.
As metal is approached, the numbers will increase until
“95-99” is viewed. Deeply buried objects or lower sen-
sitivity levels will yield a lower peak number to aid in
pinpointing.
