30 31
The Explorer SE has an alternative 
Digital display that shows both 
the ferrous content (FER) and the 
conductivity (COND) of a target with 
numbers from 0 to 31. 
The FER and COND numbers are the 
coordinates of the Target Crosshair 
displayed in Smartfind.
A FER value of 0 represents low-ferrous 
content and a value of 31 represents 
high ferrous content. Similarly, a COND 
value of 0 represents low conductivity 
and 31 represents high conductivity. 
It is important to note that when using 
Digital, discrimination settings (either 
the current Discrimination Pattern 
or the Iron Mask) are still active and 
targets outside the accepted area will 
not produce a signal or indicate FER and 
COND numbers on the display. 
The conductivity and ferrous 
information of the target will clear as 
you switch between Smartfind and 
Digital, until a new detection is made.
The last used display will appear the 
next time you turn on the detector. Any 
adjustments to Discrimination Patterns 
that are made in Smartfind will be 
retained and used in Digital.
While detecting a target, try switching 
from Smartfind to Digital, to compare 
the results. In time, you may prefer to use 
different displays for different conditions.
