Sensitivity (R)
The
SENSITIVITY
CONTROL
regulates the sensitivity
of
the
detector
to
drift,
instability
etc,
as
well
as
to
metal objects. The recommended starting
point
is
O.
By
increasing
the
Sensitivity
by
tuning
this
control
into
the + sector
the
detector
will
be
more
prone
to
drift,
erratic signals, ground interference. etc. Where there is
no
ground
effect
or
outside inter-
ference the Sensitivity
Control
can
be
operated at higher levels.
But
when the signal becomes unsteady
or
erratic.
the
Sensitivity level should be reduced
to
obtain
a
clear. steady
tuning
threshold.
Only
when
the
tuning
is
constant and steady
will
the
detector
operate
at the best
optimum
depth penetration.
Once
the
Ground
Exclude Levels and Discriminate Levels have been
set
the
Ground
Mode can be
engaged
by
operating the Ground
Switch
(vi)
which
also retunes the detector.
Commence searching
as
described on
P.
6.
If
the tuning level varies. reset the
TUNiNG
by
operating the
Ground
push-button
(vii
or
if
this
in
ineffective. re-set the Ground Exclude level
as
described
on
P.
7.
When an object
has
been located and
pinpointed,
move the
detector
search head away
from
the
target object. change the mode
to
DISCRIMINATE
by
operating the
DISCAIM
push
button
(vii);
hold
the
detector
head steady.

ensure
the

is

by
again pressing

(vii),
and then
carefully re-scan
the

to
ensure
maximum
depth
and analysis.
If
the
target
is
accepted
the
meter
will
move up
the
scale
to
the
right.
If
the target
is
discriminated
against
or
rejected.
the
meter
will
move
down
the scale
to
the
left.
It
is
possible
to
operate
in
the
DISCAIM
mode
continuously,
if
the
ground
conditions
allow
and
mineralisation
is
not
severe.
by
selecting
DISCAIM
at

(viiI.
in
DISCAIM
it
is
best
to
operate
at
the
lower
levels
of
discriminate, I.e.
below

- 10.
Alternatively,
or
also, the SENSITI
VITY
can
be reduced
at
(A)
to
ensure
the
threshold

level can be maintained and performance maintained.
F. USE
IN
THE
FIELD
.The
METADEC

can be
used
in various ways
to
suit various sites
or
conditions.
For
reference a series
of
diagrams
has
been prepared
to
illustrate this.
