1 DISC/TONE discrimination control: to eliminate (notch) undesired metals

Note: this setting influences the sensitivity

2 GND BAL ground balance control: to eliminate background signals caused by

mineralized soils

3 VOL volume button: set speaker or headphone volume to normal or low

4 TRACE trace button: to keep the detector in tune

5 PHONE headphone jack: to connect an external headphone (not incl.)

6 SENS sensitivity control: to control the depth of detection

7 THRESHOLD threshold control: adjust the level of the received signal

8 LOW BAT low battery indication: lights up when voltage drops below 8.8V

9 DISC - TONE discrimination mode selector: in DISC mode, type of metal is indicated by

tone length; in TONE mode it is indicated using high or low tones

10 analogue meter needle indicates signal intensity (ALL METAL mode) or metal type (DISC

mode)

6. How it works

• A (low frequency) metal detector basically consists of a transmitter, a receiver and a

microprocessor (control box) which handles the signals.

Transmitter

• The transmitter is a coil of wire located inside the search coil. By sending an alternating current

through this coil a magnetic field is generated, having a polarity pointing either into or out of the

ground. This magnetic field will induce a flow of current inside nearby metallic objects. These

objects in turn will create a magnetic field with a polarity which is usually opposite to that of the

magnetic field of the transmitter.

Receiver

• The receiver is another coil of wire that is located inside the search coil and which is constructed

in such a way that the magnetic field of the transmitting coil does not induce current in it.

Magnetic fields from nearby metallic objects however will produce an electric current in the

receiver coil.

Phase shift

• The signal received from the receiving coil will usually be delayed versus the transmitted signal

due to the tendency of conductors to impede changes in the flow of current, the so called

inductance. The delay is referred to as phase shift. Metal objects that are primarily inductive

e.g. large thick objects made of good conductors (gold, silver, copper…) will result in large phase

shifts, whereas metal objects that are primarily resistive e.g. smaller thin objects made of less

conductive materials will result only in minor phase shifts. Refer to the table below for a short

overview of the electrical conductivity of some materials.
