Detect Modes
EQUINOX Series redefines all-purpose detecting, with Detect Modes that are based on
common detecting locations. Simply select the best match and begin detecting.
EQUINOX Series features Detect Modes, each representing a
common detecting use: Park, Field, Beach, and Gold*.
Each Detect Mode has two Search Profiles.
Detect Mode
Search Profiles
Each Search Profile has been pre-configured to optimise the
detector for best performance in the conditions typical to that
location. Each of the pre-configured Profiles can be modified and
saved.
EQUINOX remembers its last-used Search Profile and will return to
this when the detector is turned on. For example, if Field Profile 1
was active when turned off, this Search Profile will be active when
the detector is turned back on.
Detect Mode Navigation
Detect Mode Search Profiles can be cycled through by
pressing the Detect Mode button.
Each press will scroll to the next Search Profile in a left-
to-right direction. When the last Search Profile is reached, another
press of the Detect Mode button will return you to Park 1.
Adjusting Search Profiles
Save your favourite detecting settings in Profile 1 or 2 in each
Detect Mode once you are familiar with the detector.
Remember, some settings are global (page 12) and will be
adjusted for all Search Profiles when a change is made.
For the complete list of the factory presets for each Detect Mode
Search Profile, read 'Factory Presets' on page 63.
To Adjust a Search Profile:
1. Navigate to the Detect Mode Search Profile you wish to adjust.
2. Make the adjustments to the Settings and Advanced Settings
for that profile. They will be automatically saved.
3. Next time that Search Profile is selected, the local settings you
selected will be remembered.
If you want to restore the preset state of an individual Detect Mode
Search Profile, see 'Reset a Search Profile' on page 12.
To factory reset all detector settings and Detect Modes, see 'Factory
Reset the Detector' on page 12.
Choosing the Right Detect Mode
Choosing the right Detect Mode is important to get the best
performance for the environment you are detecting in. To easily
get started, choose Park, Field, Beach or Gold* to suit your location.
Search Profile 1 is suitable for general conditions. Search Profile
2 is optimised for more difficult conditions. Target sensitivity is
enhanced, but extra noise may also result.
Detailed descriptions of each Detect Mode are in the following
pages.
