LOCATION POSITION
Hold the locator by the handle. The locator has to be kept
with the main unit parallel to the ground and in right angle
to the user body. The antenna slightly declined to the ground.
Maintain the elbow close to your body but not tight.
Do not move or force the handle. Spend some time practicing
until the correct handling has been achieved and the locator
is balanced.
TARGET DETECTION PROCEDURE
Readings can be taken when standing still or by scanning using your elbow to sweep the locator left to right
towards the horizon.
Users that have before practiced electronic dowsing do not have any difficulty using X-FINDER.
Before testing about the target signal using samples, experiment holding and walking with the X-FINDER
without using any target, outdoors away from metal and electromagnetic interference, and the X-FINDER
unit itself powered off.
Balancing is a common fault with new users of such devices, as the antenna need to be balanced while
the device is swept left to right, by holding the handle gently, not hold by applying force with your fingers
to the handle, but rather let it balance free within your hand. The purpose is to take the time to use
X-FINDER powered off, and practice sweeps from right to left on your horizon, with the arm at about
90 degrees, so that you accomplish the balance and the antenna does not “move around” by itself,
when you end the sweep and reverse for example to the other direction.
The must for balance is to have to antenna tip a little declined.
The antenna should be balanced naturally without any effort and stay balanced when it comes to either
end of your sweep. Once this is accomplished, practice sweeping at a normal speed,
not very slow as a stop and go action but a sweep at a constant movement.
Secondly lay sample targets over the ground surface (outdoors as house has a lot many metals and
electromagnetic interference, not inside nylon, plastic or any insulating material), as to be visible by you,
if possible poor a little water over the sample. Let the X-FINDER operate and perform ground balance
at your horizon away from the sample. Then sweep over the sample direction and actually sense
the antenna lock over it and stays locked when you continue your sweep movement progressively
to the left or to the right of the target. This is a must before contacting other tests.
To experience what the signal feels like, and if you get no signal from this test, take care of the below:
At this point, when practice with sample targets, any user will find the circumstances under which he gets
a strong signal. Experiment with (a constant and not a stop and go again) sweep speed, and angle you are
maintaining the antenna to the ground surface, as long as it is dropped a bit downwards, angle of the arm
90 degrees and less, until you are start having a locking reaction of the antenna and you are confident that
you maintain balance, and it does not “move around” by itself, and do not “correct” it in order to stay
balanced.
The physical reaction to the first test will be a weak hesitation of the antenna as you sweep it over
the horizon and pass from target direction, as you practice and build your balance skill it will eventually lock
completely to the target direction. When GOLD X-FINDER senses a target the antenna points towards this
direction and locks. To double check the target, point with the antenna to another spot or a different
direction and wait until it goes back to the target. If this occurs, proceed to target centering as described.
