The experienced detectorists at Minelab have put together a comprehensive list of FAQs on how to use a metal detector. These also contain many pro tips for metal detecting.

You may find the answers to your questions by reading the FAQs here and from the related Knowledge Base Articles. Of course, if, after searching through this information you still have a question, there please contact our customer service team.

Can Minelab Metal Detectors Tell What A Target Is Likely To Be Before I Dig It Up?

Yes, Minelab metal detectors have the ability to ‘discriminate’ between different types of targets. The discrimination feature on Minelab detectors measure two target properties, ferrous properties and conductive properties.

Ferrous properties refer to how much iron is in a target and therefore how strongly it’s attracted to a magnet. Ferrous targets tend to be trash, so can be discriminated/masked out based on their ferrous properties alone by the detector. Conductive properties refer to how well a target conducts electrical current and therefore responds to a metal detector’s magnetic field. Trash like nails and foil have different conductive properties to valuable targets like coins and rings. In this case the metal detector can make a judgement as to whether the target is trash based on conductivity.

The process for configuring the discrimination settings and the method used to indicate treasure or trash varies across the Minelab range of detectors.

What Effects Do Different Operating Frequencies Have?

As a rule of thumb, the lower the frequency used by the detector, the deeper it can penetrate the ground. At low frequencies however, sensitivity to small low conductive targets is reduced. The higher the frequency, the higher the sensitivity to small targets, but will not penetrate as deeply. In general, gold detectors operate at higher frequencies (to find small nuggets), while coin and treasure detectors work at lower frequencies for deeper penetration. The exception to this is MPS type metal detectors that are sensitive and deep seeking simultaneously.

How Do Different Coils Affect The Performance Of A Metal Detector?

Size

The size of a search coil can influence the detection depth or sensitivity of a metal detector. The larger the coil, the deeper it detects, but will have less sensitivity to small targets. Conversely the smaller the search coil’s diameter, the more sensitive it becomes but looses detection depth.

Smaller coils are lighter, easier to control and may be chosen for their ability to negotiate difficult terrain or undergrowth. They are also an advantage in areas of high trash.

Shape

The most common coil shapes are conventional solid round coils, elliptical shaped coils and the open web coils. The main reason for the change in shape is to conform to a physical requirement, i.e. an elliptical coil can be pushed around bushes or between rocks easier than a round coil and open web coils move through water easier and are lighter. Conventional round coils are often more stable and perform better and are particularly popular for gold prospecting.

Configuration

The three most common types of coil windings are Concentric, Double-D, and Monoloop. The difference between these coil types is the pattern the wire is wound within the search coil.

Concentric coil

A Concentric coil has an inner circle and an outer circle wire winding. Its search pattern is cone shaped and can be useful for accurately pinpointing a target. Concentric coils tend to be noisier in highly mineralised ground and require more over lap of sweep for thorough ground coverage.

Double-D coil

Double-D coils are the preferred coils for most detecting. They give a blade or chisel shaped signal that covers the ground more uniformly and once an operator becomes accustomed to the signal, pinpointing can be very accurate. Double-D coils are also preferred for their superior ground balancing ability.

Monoloop coil

Monoloop coils have one winding of wire around the circumference of the coil, which is used to both transmit and receive. The signal pattern of the Monoloop coil is cone shaped, requiring more overlapping. In extremely heavily mineralised grounds they can be more difficult to ground balance, however they tend to provide slightly better depth than the Double-D coils.

How Often Should I Clean Out My Skidplate?

Dirt, dust and moisture can be trapped inside the skidplate leading to false signals and poor performance. To maintain peak performance of your Minelab detector, it is recommended to clean out the skidplate quite regularly.

What Advantages Does FBS Have Over VFLEX?

  • Highly accurate Discrimination
  • No need to Ground Balance
  • Superior Depth on large targets
  • Very stable operation on salt beaches
  • Superior Iron see-through (CTX 3030 is best)
  • Maximum depth on a broad range of target sizes

What Are The Recommended Impedance Values Of Headphones For Each Detector?

Headphone specifications are not really critical in a metal detector as their audio circuitry does not produce Hi-Fi quality sound. e.g. Our detectors frequency output range is only circa 75 -1200Hz

Our audio circuits will drive most headphones from 16 - 100 + ohms.

Audio optimisation is also very subjective as everybody hears differently.

We endeavour not to confuse our customers with unnecessary technical specs because in reality there is no honest way to determine what headphones are best for you other than to try them.

If you have a detector with adjustable audio tones, such as a CTX 3030, we would also recommend you spend some time to ensure the detection tones are optimised for your hearing needs.

How Deep Will My Detector Go?

There is no specific answer to this question as it depends on the target size, orientation, metallic content, ground minerals and conductivity, electrical and ambient noise in the area and etc.

However we commonly hear of GPX Series detectors finding large gold nuggets at 3 and sometimes 4 feet deep, and CTX 3030s finding coins and rings at over 12 inches.

How Often Should I Send My Detector Back For A Service?

Only if it becomes faulty.

How Often Should I Ground Balance, Where Should I Ground Balance?

On some detectors you don’t need to ground balance at all. On others, users new to detecting are recommended to use the Ground Balance Tracking function.

In Tracking, the detector will automatically ground balance for you and remain in balance even if the ground minerals vary. On manual ground balance detectors like the X-TERRA 305 and X-TERRA 505, you need to ground balance at the start of every hunt, and re-balance periodically as required. Always ground balance on clean ground, away from metal objects.

Why Can’t My Detector Detect A Gold Chain?

Gold chains are very difficult to detect, particularly very fine chains. Each link of a chain can be very small and the detector sees each link as a separate target, so it can easily be missed. You are more likely to detect the actual clasp or any pendants that may still be on the chain as these are much larger than the individual chain links. High frequency detectors such as the Eureka Gold, or an X-TERRA 705 with an 18.75 kHz coil in prospecting mode, will often pick up fine chains better than most coin detectors.

Why Does My Detector Pick Up Some Coke?

Coke is carbon and as such can be quite conductive, just like a coin.

What Is Your Deepest Detector And Can It Detect Through Rock?

The GPZ 7000 is our deepest detector in all ground conditions and can detect through even highly mineralised rock.

I Would Like To Extend My Coil Cable, Can This Be Done?

No, cable characteristics are matched to coil windings at manufacture, so extending the cable will reduce the performance of the coil.

Can You Recommend A Good Coil For Trashy Ground?

Smaller coils are better for trashy sites, as they reduce the instances of detecting multiple targets at once. Concentric coils are generally better than Double-D coils for this same reason.

Check the coil selection guide to find the most suitable coil for your detecting needs.

Why Does My Detector Pick Up Signals In The Air?

Metal detectors pick up electromagnetic signals from underground metal objects. Similar signals can also be received through the air from other electromagnetic sources, such as power lines, radio transmitters, generators, etc.

How Will I Know If The Ground Is Mineralised?

If your detector is noisy when you are detecting, but goes quiet when you stop sweeping the coil, then it is receiving signals from mineralized ground. Perform a ground balance and continue detecting.

GPX series only: if it is still noisy then you may need to try an alternate soil/timing selection. All other detectors: if it is still noisy you would need to reduce your sensitivity to the highest stable sensitivity level.

Is It Possible To Miss Good Targets With Preset Discrimination Patterns?

The only guaranteed way to get every possible good target is to use no discrimination. However, digging every target can waste lots of time. Discrimination patterns are always a compromise between digging most good targets and ignoring most junk targets.

Sometimes I Dig What Seems To Be A Good Target And Then Cannot Find Any Metal, Why?

This can be caused by a number of reasons:

  • Sometimes rusty objects get broken up during the digging process
  • Metal objects can leach trace elements into the surrounding soil
  • Some rocks can sound like targets
  • Some targets get ‘lost’ or reburied during the digging process

Why Do I Sometimes Get A Signal At The End Of My Swing?

Usually because you are lifting the coil at the end of your swing. Always sweep slow, low and level for the entire swing.

WHAT IS ZVT TECHNOLOGY?

Zero Voltage Transmission (ZVT) technology creates ultra‑constant high-power opposite polarity magnetic fields.
ZVT provides users with superior ground balance to enhance detector stability in mineralised soils and will detect gold nuggets at extreme depths that exceed all current competitor products.

WHAT IS THE PERFORMANCE OF THE GPZ 7000? HOW DOES IT COMPARE TO OTHER MINELAB GOLD DETECTORS?

The GPZ 7000 is our best performer on the medium to larger nuggets, even in highly mineralised or variable ground. It retains superior depth capabilities compared to any other detector while still providing good sensitivity to smaller, shallower targets.

WHAT COILS CAN I USE ON MY GPZ 7000?

The GPZ 7000 detector has Minelab branded, and aftermarket coils available for purchase. Minelab branded coils are available from Minelab certified dealerships. You can purchase the 14” or 19” Super-D coils.
NuggetFinder coil have released 2 Minelab approved aftermarket coils. A 12” round Super-D coil and a 17” elliptical Super-D coil which can be purchased by NuggetFinder stockists.

CAN THE GPZ 7000 DISCRIMINATE CERTAIN METAL TYPES?

No, the GPZ 7000 does not have any discrimination capability.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE IN PERFORMANCE OF THE DETECTOR BETWEEN THE NORMAL, DIFFICULT AND SEVERE GROUND TYPES?

The Difficult Ground Type setting is the default setting and is recommended as gold is usually found in areas with highly mineralised soils.

The Normal Ground Type setting will provide the greatest detection depth but can only be used in “quiet” soils where there are lower levels of mineralisation in the soil.

If the detector is running unstable or noisy when using a “Normal” ground type you should switch to “Difficult”.

The Severe Ground Type will provide the lowest detection depth and should only be used when detecting in areas with extremely high levels of mineralisation. This setting should only be used in areas where you need to raise the coil above the ground when using the “Difficult” Ground Type setting.

WHY DO I NEED TO USE THE YELLOW FERRITE RING WHEN GROUND BALANCING?

When ground balancing, the yellow ferrite ring artificially adds additional data to help the GPZ 7000 improve the ground balance accuracy. This should always be used to ensure smooth operation. Sweep the coil over the yellow ferrite ring in a figure 8 motion ground balancing, ensuring that you sweep over the yellow ferrite ring with each figure 8 movement.
When balanced correctly you should hear a smooth audio tone when sweeping the coil over the yellow ferrite ring.

WHY DOES THE MANUAL RECOMMEND A SWINGING ACTION, OR FIGURE-8 MOVEMENT FOR GROUND BALANCING?

When ground balancing the GPZ 7000 a swinging or figure-8 movement is recommended as the GPZ 7000 constantly monitors the changes in the soil. Sweeping the coil over as much ground as possible ensuring that you sweep over the yellow ferrite ring with each swing/figure-8 motion when ground balancing allows the detector to gain as much information as possible about the local ground conditions which provides a superior ground balance.

I HEAR AN OCCASIONAL DROPOUT WHEN USING THE WM12 WIRELESS MODULE. WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN?

Wireless audio is susceptible to audio dropouts when the signal is blocked. Audio dropouts can be reduced by ensuring a direct line of sight between the WM12 and the detector. It is best to wear the WM12 as close as possible to the detector. This minimises the path to the wireless transmitter and makes it less likely that the operator's body will block the signal path between the WM12 and the detector. 

WHAT IS THE BATTERY RUN/CHARGE TIME?

The GPZ 7000 will operate for approximately 8 hours when commencing with a fully charged battery. Charging the battery will typically take 5 – 6 hours.

The WM12 wireless module will operate for approximately 12 hours on a fully charged battery and takes around 12 hours to charge when charging via the BC10 charger.

IS IT SAFE TO CHARGE BATTERY FROM 24V TRUCK BATTERY?

Yes, the GPZ 7000 can be charged from a nominal 24V battery system. The BC10 charger can will function between 11 – 30 volts DC.
You can also use the supplied 240V AC plug-pack if your vehicle is fitted with an inverter.

WILL AN ALKALINE BATTERY PACK BE AVAILABLE FOR THE GPZ 7000?

No, Minelab currently has no plans to release a replaceable cell or alkaline battery pack. 

WHAT ARE THE USB CABLES IN THE CARTON USED FOR?

There are 2 USB cables supplied in the box with your GPZ 7000. The USB-A to Mini-USB cable is used for charging the WM12 wireless module.
The USB-A to USB-B is used for software updates and is plugged into the rear of the screen pod and a PC.

CAN THE SOFTWARE IN THE GPZ 7000 BE UPGRADED?

On the rear of the screen pod is a USB-B port that can be used if a software upgrade is released. Check the downloads section of the GPZ 7000 page on our website for updates.

Apakah prestasi GPX 6000? Bagaimana perbandingannya dengan pengesan emas Minelab yang lain?

GPX 6000 adalah pemain terbaik kami dalam nugget kecil yang lebih banyak, walaupun di tanah yang sangat mineral atau berubah-ubah. Ia mengekalkan kedalaman yang sangat baik, tepat di belakang GPZ 7000 pada nugget yang lebih besar dan lebih dalam.

Adakah GPX 6000 serasi dengan gegelung siri GPX yang ada?

Gegelung GPX 6000 adalah rangkaian gegelung berprestasi tinggi baru yang tidak sesuai dengan pengesan siri GPX terdahulu.

Bolehkah GPX 6000 membezakan gegelung Double-D?

Gegelung Double-D 14 "di GPX 6000 hanya dapat digunakan untuk pembatalan EMI atau pembatalan isyarat tanah konduktif. Ia tidak dapat melakukan diskriminasi besi.

The following Minelab coils are currently available to operate with the GPX 6000:

  • GPX 11: 11" round Monoloop coil for general use
  • GPX 17: 17" x 13" elliptical Monoloop coil for better ground coverage and depth on large nuggets
  • GPX 14: 14" round Double D coil for conductive (salty) soils or when there is high electrical interference (EMI)

Minelab approved aftermarket coils are available from Coiltek and NuggetFinder.

Sekiranya kabel gegelung dililitkan dengan erat di sekitar batang?

Penggulungan pertama kabel gegelung dari gegelung harus selalu melewati batang. Kabel gegelung kemudiannya harus dililit dengan erat di sekitar batang dan dipegang dengan dua tali velcro. Anda harus membiarkan ruang yang cukup untuk gegelung dapat bergerak dengan bebas semasa mengesan.

Bolehkah GPX 6000 mengimbangkan kedua-dua 'G' dan 'X' sama seperti GPZ 7000?

GPX 6000 tidak mengesan komponen Ferrite dari tanah. GeoSense-PI menggunakan teknik lain untuk menghilangkan tindak balas 'X' yang tidak dapat dilihat oleh pengendali.
Anda tidak memerlukan ferit kuning untuk mengimbangkan GPX 6000.

Saya tidak dapat mendengar nada Ambang. Kenapa ini?

Nada ambang boleh dihidupkan dan dimatikan dalam tetapan sensitiviti dengan menekan butang Jenis Tanah dengan lama.

Perhatikan bahawa nada Ambang dihidupkan dalam julat kepekaan Manual dan dimatikan dalam julat kepekaan Automatik. Apabila GPX 6000 dihidupkan seterusnya, nada Ambang akan kembali ke lalai.

Apakah perbezaan prestasi pengesan antara Jenis Tanah Normal dan Sulit?

Pengaturan Jenis Tanah Sulit paling baik digunakan di tanah yang lebih banyak mineral, terutama dengan batu panas atau tanah yang sangat berubah-ubah.

Tetapan Jenis Tanah Biasa mempunyai kedalaman terbesar pada nugget yang lebih besar; ia digunakan sebaik mungkin dan sentiasa di tanah dengan tahap mineralisasi yang lebih rendah atau tanah yang tidak berubah. Jenis tanah biasa boleh mengambil batu panas sebagai sasaran. Sekiranya batu panas tidak dapat diimbangi dengan tanah, anda perlu menggunakan tetapan Jenis tanah yang sukar.

The GPZ 7000 manual recommends a swinging action, or figure-8 movement for Ground Balancing. What is the recommendation for the GPX 6000?

The GPX 6000 with GeoSense-PI is continually tracking the ground, so either technique would work. Minelab recommends pumping the GPX 6000 up and down above the ground with the Quick-Trak button depressed to achieve the fastest Ground Balance.

Saya tidak mengesan di tasik masin atau di air laut. Mengapa pembatalan tanah konduktif boleh menjadi kelebihan bagi saya?

Tanah konduktif tidak harus dikaitkan dengan garam yang kelihatan. Sebagai contoh, hujan baru-baru ini boleh menjadikan tanah lebih konduktif dan meningkatkan tindak balas tanah konduktif yang tidak diingini.

Saya mendengar kadangkala putus pada fon kepala Bluetooth. Mengapa perkara ini berlaku?

Audio tanpa wayar terdedah kepada putus suara ketika isyarat disekat. Penutupan audio dapat dikurangkan dengan memastikan penglihatan langsung antara fon kepala dan pengesan. Lebih baik memakai fon kepala dengan kawalan Bluetooth yang paling dekat dengan pengesan. Ini meminimumkan jalan ke pemancar Bluetooth dan menjadikan badan pengendali akan menghalang laluan isyarat antara fon kepala dan pengesan.

Berapakah masa bateri berjalan / dicas?

GPX 6000 akan beroperasi selama kira-kira 8 jam apabila bermula dengan bateri yang diisi penuh. Mengecas bateri biasanya akan memakan masa 5 - 6 jam.

Fon kepala ML 100 akan beroperasi selama kira-kira 24 jam pada bateri yang diisi penuh dan memerlukan masa sekitar 3.5 jam untuk dicas.

Adakah selamat untuk mengecas bateri dari bateri trak 24V?

BAGAIMANA SAYA MENGETAHUI APA SO / MASA YANG SAYA HARUS DIGUNAKAN?

Anda tidak pernah dapat meramalkan tahap mineralisasi tanah apa yang akan ada di lokasi tertentu, sebab itulah Normal adalah Masa yang disyorkan untuk bermula. Kemudian, anda boleh membiarkan pengesan memberitahu anda Masa yang akan digunakan dengan menyapu gegelung dan mendengar kestabilan ambang.

Setelah melakukan Auto Tune dan Ground Balance, anda harus memulakan pencarian, dan jika pengesan terlalu bising atau memberi isyarat pada banyak batu panas, maka Waktu yang anda gunakan terlalu agresif untuk tanah yang anda jalani. Anda perlu memilih ke Waktu yang lain lebih dekat dengan hujung gelap skala di bawah ini, misalnya Meningkatkan.

APAKAH CARA TERBAIK UNTUK MENGURANGKAN KESAN EMI?

GPX 5000 diketahui menderita Gangguan Elektromagnetik (EMI) terutamanya semasa cuaca ribut. Terdapat tiga sebab yang diketahui untuk gangguan ini:

  1. Sensitiviti masa Meningkatkan, Baik-Emas dan Tajam akan mengesan nugget yang sangat kecil, tetapi sayangnya EMI juga ada.
  2. Kerana kemampuan pengendalian darat yang unggul dari GPX 5000, penggunaan gegelung Monoloop besar adalah perkara biasa. Medan gegelung menumbuk setinggi di atas tanah seperti di tanah, jadi anda dapat melihat bahawa gegelung yang lebih dalam akan lebih cenderung kepada EMI.
  3. Kelancaran umum pengesan bermaksud bahawa sebarang keributan atau obrolan yang disebabkan oleh EMI jauh lebih jelas, dan boleh disalah anggap sebagai isyarat sasaran.

Pada hari EMI yang buruk, berikut adalah beberapa petua yang dapat mengekalkan ambang batas anda:

  • Gunakan gegelung Double-D, dan pastikan ukuran gegelung minimum untuk tanah yang sedang dikerjakan.
  • Elakkan menggunakan Waktu yang Baik-Emas dan Tajam. Ekstra Normal dan Sensitif selalunya akan memberikan ambang yang lebih lancar.
  • Gunakan kelajuan Sangat Lambat atau Perlahan.
  • Gunakan Jenis Audio Tenang atau Biasa.
  • Untuk membolehkan pengesan memilih saluran operasi paling senyap dengan tepat, pilih kelajuan Gerak Cepat, lakukan penyesuaian Auto, dan kemudian kembali ke Gerak Sangat Lambat.
  • Tetapkan Rx Gain anda terlebih dahulu dan kemudian gunakan Stabilizer untuk menyesuaikan.
  • Semasa mencari, anda mungkin mendapati ambang mula goyah. Perubahan pantas Manual Tune dengan beberapa nombor akan mengembalikan ambang ke hum yang lancar.
  • Gabungan perkara di atas semestinya memberikan perbezaan besar dalam kestabilan pengesan dan akan membolehkan anda terus mencari emas dalam keadaan sukar.

SEMUA ORANG MENGATAKAN SAYA COIL MONOLOOP ADALAH LEBIH BAIK & LEBIH SENSITIF BERBANDING DENGAN COIL DOUBLE-D - JADI APA KELEBIHAN COIL DOUBLE-D?

  • Liputan tanah yang luas pada kedalaman per sapuan, diperlukan lebih sedikit pertindihan
  • Kurang terdedah kepada Gangguan Elektromagnetik (EMI)
  • Boleh menggunakan fungsi Iron Reject
  • Keupayaan yang ditingkatkan di tanah yang benar-benar basah
  • Membolehkan penggunaan mod Batal, beroperasi berhampiran talian kuasa
  • Titik-titik di sepanjang pusat gegelung
  • Sasaran mendalam yang besar mempunyai tindak balas yang lebih jelas (lebih sempit)
  • Pengurangan isyarat palsu di tanah yang sangat mineral
  • Kurang terdedah kepada isyarat pada arang yang terkubur
  • Berfungsi dengan baik dengan Tracking Ground Balance

GPX 5000 & GPX 4800: UNIT MEMBERI KECERGASAN SANGAT BANYAK DAN BEBERAPA HANYA MENENTUKAN SASARAN SANGAT BESAR, KENAPA?

Pastikan anda tidak menggunakan gegelung Monoloop dengan suis Coil Rx diatur ke Batal.

GPX 5000 & GPX 4800: BAGAIMANA SAYA BOLEH MENGATAKAN APA JENIS COIL KOMANDER YANG SAYA ADA JIKA LABEL TIDAK ADA LEBIH LANJUT?

Gegelung Monoloop mempunyai kabel bulat yang sempurna.

Gegelung Double-D mempunyai kabel lebih rata kerana dua teras dalaman.

Letakkan suis Coil / Rx di Batal. Sekiranya anda mempunyai kedalaman yang sedikit berkurang daripada yang anda jangkakan, maka gegelung anda adalah Double-D. Sekiranya anda hampir tidak mempunyai kedalaman, maka anda mempunyai gegelung Monoloop.

APA TUJUAN KAWALAN STABILISER?

Fungsi Stabilizer mengawal titik di mana variasi samar di Ambang mula didengar. Variasi samar ini boleh menjadi bunyi persekitaran atau isyarat sasaran samar. Semasa anda meningkatkan kawalan Stabilizer, isyarat sasaran samar akan menjadi lebih kuat, tetapi tahap kebisingan juga akan meningkat, yang berpotensi menyembunyikan isyarat sasaran yang diinginkan. Stabilizer membolehkan anda menutupi variasi samar ini untuk memberikan tahap stabil yang sempurna, meningkatkan kemampuan anda untuk mengenal pasti isyarat sasaran samar.

Stabilizer paling baik ditinggalkan dalam kedudukan FP (preset kilang) sehingga keadaan tanah di lokasi ditentukan. Setelah tahap Rx Gain telah ditetapkan untuk keadaan tempatan dan tetapan audio lain telah dipilih, Stabilizer kemudian dapat digunakan untuk menyesuaikan kestabilan Ambang.

Untuk mencari kedudukan Stabilizer yang optimum, pastikan gegelung disapu ke tanah. Satu nombor di bawah titik di mana ambang mula berceloteh, biasanya merupakan keadaan terbaik.

Kesan Stabilizer dapat dilihat mempunyai kesan yang serupa dengan kawalan Rx Gain. Walau bagaimanapun, Stabilizer hanya mempengaruhi pemprosesan audio dan tidak mengubah isyarat Terima (Rx), jadi harus digunakan sebagai pentas akhir. Setelah membuat penyesuaian pada Stabilizer, jika keadaan tanah berubah atau anda ingin mengubah gegelung, anda mungkin perlu mengatur ulang Rx Gain, tetapi sebelum melakukannya, kembalikan Stabilizer ke pengaturan Factory Preset terlebih dahulu. Ini akan memastikan anda memilih tahap Rx Gain yang paling sesuai untuk memenuhi syarat, dan kemudian anda dapat menyesuaikan dengan menggunakan Stabilizer.

Petua: Dengan memutar kawalan Stabilizer ke minimum (lawan arah jam) ambang akan sangat stabil, tetapi anda akan kehilangan banyak kepekaan terhadap sasaran yang lebih kecil. Ini boleh menjadi ciri yang diinginkan dalam senario tertentu seperti mencari nugget besar di kawasan sampah tinggi, atau menggunakan GPX 5000 dan GPX 4800 untuk mencari duit syiling atau harta karun.

Petua: Kami mengesyorkan pesanan terbaik untuk menetapkan kawalan ini adalah:

  • Pilih Mod Carian yang sesuai
  • Pilih Jenis Audio yang diingini
  • Sesuaikan Rx Gain sehingga ambang mula pecah
  • Laraskan Stabilizer untuk melicinkan ambang.

BAGAIMANA VOLUME SASARAN BERBEZA DENGAN VOLUME NORMAL?

Volume Sasaran mengawal kekuatan isyarat sasaran, dan pada tetapan di atas 8 ia akan sedikit meningkatkan jumlah ambang juga. Ini berguna untuk keadaan yang sangat berangin, bagi orang yang mengalami pendengaran, atau ketika menggunakan pembesar suara luaran. Dengan penguat audio yang terdapat di dalam pek bateri Li-Ion, anda boleh memasang pembesar suara terus ke bateri, dan menetapkan tahap penguat yang sesuai menggunakan Volume Volume. Ketahuilah bahawa semasa menukar dari fon kepala ke pembesar suara luaran, anda mungkin perlu melakukan sedikit penyesuaian pada kawalan Ambang dan Had Volume.

Volume Sasaran dapat digunakan sebagai dorongan Audio dalam kondisi tenang, dan juga dapat digunakan untuk mengurangi atau meredam isyarat kebisingan tanah di tanah yang sangat mineral. Ini adalah ciri yang hebat, dan akan berfungsi bersama dengan kawalan Stabilizer, memberikan anda kemampuan penalaan terbaik. Sedikit percubaan mungkin diperlukan untuk mencari kombinasi yang optimum dalam keadaan yang berbeza.

CATATAN: Setiap kali penyesuaian terhadap Keuntungan diperlukan, kerana perubahan gegelung atau lokasi, pastikan Volume Sasaran dikembalikan ke tetapan FP terlebih dahulu. Anda kemudian boleh menyesuaikan dengan keadaan baru.

WHAT IS THE PERFORMANCE OF THE SDC 2300? HOW DOES IT COMPARE TO OTHER MINELAB GOLD DETECTORS?

The SDC 2300 is our compact and waterproof gold prospecting detector. It uses Multi Period Fast (MPF) Pulse Induction (PI) technology that provides excellent sensitivity when detecting small to medium sized nuggets in highly mineralised or variable ground. The SDC 2300 provides good depth on larger deeper nuggets.

ARE THERE OTHER MINELAB COILS FOR MY SDC 2300?

No, there are no other Minelab branded coils available for the SDC 2300. The supplied 8” round coil provides excellent overall performance for the SDC 2300 and keeps the detector waterproof and compact

CAN THE SDC 2300 DISCRIMINATE DIFFERENT METAL TYPES?

No, there is no discrimination function available for the SDC 2300.

WHY CAN'T I HEAR THE THRESHOLD TONE?

Having no constant threshold audio emit through the speaker or headphones indicates that the threshold audio is in the OFF or minimum setting.
The threshold volume can be adjusted by pushing the threshold button on the right side of the handle.
There are 9 levels of Threshold audio which are indicated by the LED display. With each press of the threshold button, you will notice the LEDs on the display incrementally move to the right, the threshold audio will also start increasing. When the threshold level is at maximum, pressing the Threshold button will cycle the threshold level back to the OFF or minimum setting.

HOW DO I ADJUST THE AUDIO PITCH (TONE)?

The SDC 2300 has 2 Audio pitch settings, Low or High. High pitch is the default, to change to the low setting switch the detector off then push and hold the Threshold button while switching the detector on.

The SDC 2300 will remember its previous setting so you will need to push and hold the Threshold button whilst switching the detector on to toggle back to the High pitch setting.

HOW DEEP UNDERWATER CAN I TAKE MY DETECTOR?

The SDC 2300 is waterproof to 3m (10ft) This is the complete detector including the control box.

CAN I USE THE SDC 2300 ON THE BEACH?

Yes, the SDC 2300 has a salt mode in the sensitivity adjustment, however Minelab does not recommend using the SDC 2300 on the beach as the SDC 2300 does not have a discrimination or target ID feature so you will dig a lot of trash.
The salt mode in your SDC 2300 is designed to be used on conductive ground such as salt lakes or wet mineralised soils found in gold fields where a high salt content is apparent. For example, recent rains may make the soil more conductive and increase the unwanted conductive soil response. If the soil is conductive or you are detecting on a salt lake, then adjust the sensitivity dial to a salt setting.

CAN I CHECK THE BATTERY LEVEL?

To check the battery level on your SDC 2300 simply push and hold the Noise Cancel button then press and release the Threshold button. The Noise Cancel button can now be released.
An indication of the battery level will be displayed by the LED's for approximately 3 seconds.

WHAT IS THE BATTERY RUN/CHARGE TIME?

The SDC 2300 will operate for approximately 8 hours when commencing with a fully charged Li-Ion battery. Charging the battery will typically take 5 – 6 hours. When using C-Cell Alkaline batteries you will generally have a longer use time (10-14 hours) but this will depend on the quality of the C-Cell batteries you are using.

IS IT SAFE TO CHARGE BATTERY FROM 24V TRUCK BATTERY?

No, The SDC 2300 battery should only be charged from a nominal 12V car battery system when charging from a vehicle.

WHAT BATTERIES CAN I USE?

The SDC 2300 includes a rechargeable Li-Ion battery pack inside the box. The battery compartment can also accept C-Cell Alkaline batteries or C-Cell NiMH rechargeable batteries. You can see the polarity for the C-Cell batteries on the side of the control box.

 

CAN THE SOFTWARE IN THE SDC 2300 BE UPGRADED?

No, the software on the SDC 2300 cannot be upgraded.

WHAT IS THE PERFORMANCE OF THE GOLD MONSTER 1000? HOW DOES IT COMPARE TO OTHER MINELAB GOLD DETECTORS?

The GOLD MONSTER 1000 is Minelab’s entry level gold prospecting detector, designed to find the smallest of nuggets in moderately mineralised ground. It retains excellent sensitivity to smaller shallow nuggets and can detect some larger nuggets at depth.

THE INDICATOR AT THE TOP OF THE SCREEN CONSISTENTLY POINTS TO THE RIGHT BUT IT’S NOT ALWAYS GOLD, WHY?

The Gold Chance Indicator at the top of the screen indicates if the target has a ferrous or non-ferrous content. If the indicator is consistently pointing to the right, it is indicating a high non-ferrous content and is likely a non-ferrous metal such as: gold, silver, brass, copper, aluminium, lead, zinc or other alloys that do not have any iron (ferrous) content.

If the indicator is pointing to the left, it is showing a high ferrous content and is likely steel or iron.

LARGE IRON AND STEEL OBJECTS INDICATE ON THE RIGHT, WHY?

Large steel and iron (ferrous) targets can indicate on the right. This happens when the conductive properties of the large ferrous target dominate the signal and mask the magnetic properties of the target.

WHAT COILS ARE COMPATIBLE WITH THE GOLD MONSTER 1000?

The GM05 and GM10 are the only compatible coils that can be used with the GOLD MONSTER 1000. The GM05 is included in the box and the GM10 coil can be purchased as an accessory from Minelab dealerships.

There are currently no aftermarket coils available for the GOLD MONSTER 1000.

HOW SHOULD I WIND THE COIL CABLE?

The first winding of the coil cable from the coil should always go over the shaft. Winding the coil cable over the shaft provides minimal stress on the coil cable which will help avoid damage. The coil cable should then be wound closely around the shaft, allowing enough room for the coil to be able to move freely when detecting.

Press the coil cable into the clip on the rear of the screen pod and then carefully screw the coil connector into the rear of the screen pod.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AUTO AND MANUAL SENSITIVITY?

There are 10 manual and 2 auto sensitivity levels.

Auto is located in position 11 on the sensitivity dial and will be indicated with a black dot in the centre of the sensitivity dial.
When in Auto the detector will function smoothly in most soil types and will continually adjust the detector’s sensitivity level to maintain smooth operation.


 

Auto + is located in position 12 on the sensitivity dial and will be indicated with a black dot in the centre of the sensitivity dial.
Auto + is a more aggressive sensitivity which provides users with additional sensitivity for extra depth performance. Auto+ should only be used in moderately mineralised soils as this setting may provide more ground noise.

 

Manual sensitivity adjustments (1 – 10) are for the expert user who has a good understanding of soil mineralisation and electro-magnetic interference (EMI).
Manual sensitivity allows the user to adjust the detector’s performance manually, when you have selected a sensitivity setting in the manual range the detector will not adjust levels like it does in the Auto or Auto+ modes. You may need to keep adjusting the manual sensitivity when in variable or heavily mineralised soil types.

WHEN I WAVE MY HAND OVER THE COIL THE DETECTOR BEEPS, WHY?

The GOLD MONSTER 1000 is very sensitive, when you wave your hand over the coil the detector can detect the salt in your blood.
When you are retrieving a target, you should always use the supplied plastic scoop to ensure you detect the desired target and not your hand.
Because the GOLD MONSTER 1000 is highly sensitive to salt detection it is not recommended for beach use.

I KEEP HEARING CHATTERING OR HAVE INSTABILITY, WHY?

Chattering, or inconsistent audio is generally a sign that the detector is picking up interference from ground mineralisation or electro-magnetic interference (EMI). If you are in Auto +, try adjusting the sensitivity to Auto or a lower manual sensitivity. If lowering the sensitivity doesn’t fix the issue, then you should move away from sources of EMI. (power lines, cellular phone towers, power generators, thunder/electrical storms, etc.)

I KEEP HEARING RANDOM DETECTION BEEPS BUT THERE IS NO TARGET IN THE GROUND, WHY?

Random detection beeps can be caused by mineralisation in the soil. The GOLD MONSTER 1000 has an auto-tracking ground balance feature that continually monitors the minerals in the soil and adjusts the detectors’ ground balance. Rapid changes or high levels of mineralisation in the soil can cause the detector to false signal, if this happens, pump the coil up and down (0.5 - 10cm / 0.2 - 4”) over the areas that are giving false signals. This will help ground balance the detector to the mineralisation in the soil.
If the mineralisation level is too high, then lower the sensitivity to compensate for the mineralisation level.

WHEN I LIFT MY COIL IN THE AIR I HEAR NOISE, HOW DO I QUIETEN THE DETECTOR?

Lifting your coil into the air will amplify any noise that is in the area. Minelab does not suggest doing this as this is not how our products are designed to be used. Lifting the coil slightly into the air is acceptable when performing a Noise Cancel, once the Noise Cancel is complete the coil should always be kept near the surface of the soil to avoid interference.

CAN I CONNECT WIRELESS HEADPHONES TO MY GOLD MONSTER 1000?

No, the GOLD MONSTER 1000 does not have any wireless capability. You can plug in any 3.5mm (1/8”) stereo headphones to the rear of the control pod.

WHAT IS THE BATTERY RUN/CHARGE TIME?

The GOLD MONSTER 1000 will operate for approximately 12 hours when commencing with a fully charged Li-Ion battery. Charging the battery will typically take 5 to 6 hours.

IS IT SAFE TO CHARGE BATTERY FROM 24V TRUCK BATTERY?

No, the GOLD MONSTER 1000 battery should only be charged from a nominal 12V car battery system when charging from a vehicle.

CAN THE SOFTWARE IN THE GOLD MONSTER 1000 BE UPGRADED?

No, the software in the GOLD MONSTER 1000 cannot be upgraded.

CTX 3030: I Have Installed XChange 2 And The 'File' Icon Does Not Appear. What Has Happened?

When XChange 2 is first installed the 'file' icon will not appear until the software recognizes the CTX 3030 being connected for the first time. This is the only time this will happen. After the initial connection the 'FILE' icon will appear and remain. You will no longer need to connect the CTX 3030 to access it.

CTX 3030: Why Doesn't GeoTrails Work?

The factory setting for GeoTrails is off, so you will need to turn it on. First turn GPS ON, then turn GeoTrails ON. From the map screen, press and hold the Map button to access this option. Use the arrows to select ‘View GeoTrails’ and press the Select button.

CTX 3030: What Does The GPS Enhanced Mode Do For Me?

Enhanced turns on SBAS or Satellite Based Augmentation System which is a generic term for WAAS used in the USA and EGNOS in Europe. These systems use a geostationary satellite to probe the atmosphere and TX this to your GPS receiver. It works well in the USA, but in Europe it seems to be better for planes rather than on the ground. In Australia you get signals from a satellite over Japan which makes your fix worse. Not sure how much of Europe has this as an issue.

CTX 3030: What Happens If I Change The Default Of The 'User' Button To Something Else?

The default for the 'User' button is to control the backlight, so if a user changes this to something else, then the backlight is controlled in the Menu/Options/Backlight - ON / OFF / TIME

CTX 3030: How Do I Setup My Time Zone?

  1. Press the menu button
  2. Go to Options
  3. Scroll down and highlight Locality then press the menu button

CTX 3030: I Turned Off The WM 10 And Now I Can’t Hear The Detector, Why?

In a session, if the WM 10 Wireless Module is enabled and the detector is connected to it then you will hear tones as expected. If you turn off the WM 10 it will 'mute' the detector. Power cycle the detector and you will be able to hear the tones.

CTX 3030: Should I Ground Balance The Detector Before Using It?

The CTX 3030 has a similar ground compensation feature to that on the Explorer SE Pro and E-TRAC models which works very well in most ground conditions, so there is no need to ground balance the CTX 3030 in most conditions. Ground balance should only be performed in 'Extremely Mineralised Ground'. Do not perform ground balance on the beach, this will 'confuse' the detector.

CTX 3030: Why Doesn't The Play Tone Work When The WM 10 Is Connected?

This is a standard feature, when you perform 'Tone ID profile edit', and select Play Tone or Play All, the tones will not sound if the WM 10 Wireless Module is connected.

CTX 3030: Will The Volume Setting 'Change' When I Switch From Using The Headphones To The WM 10?

There are 4 different volume settings. The CTX 3030 remembers what each setting is. If you turn the volume down while using the headphones and then unplug your headphones the external speaker volume will not have changed from your previous setting.

CTX 3030: How Do I Attach the Twist-Lock Style Armrest?

Before placing the twist-lock style armrest on the shaft, turn the lock fully counter clockwise. There is no need to turn the lock completely 90 degrees to lock it. Around 30 to 45 degrees is often sufficient.

CTX 3030: Why Does The Detector Turn Off Unexpectedly?

This was corrected in a software update. Connect your detector to XChange 2 and check for software updates. We always recommend using the most current software update. If you're on the latest update or the update didn’t correct the problem please contact your regional Minelab Authorised Service Centre.

CTX 3030: Why Didn't My Modes Translate To English When I Changed The Language?

The modes will change (or be translated) ONLY when changing from ENGLISH to another language and not in reverse. If the detector is initially set up in a language other than English, the modes will appear in that language. But if you change the language to English later, the modes will stay in the original language.

CTX 3030: What Does The 'Trigger' Do When Navigating Through The Menu?

The Trigger will Cancel any adjustment being made and go back one level in the menu.

CTX 3030: Why Is My CTX 3030 Taking So Long To Upload To XChange 2?

If you’ve been using the detector a lot since the last time you connected it to XChange 2 then there is a lot of data stored. It could take several minutes for the data to upload. Please be patient.

CTX 3030: Why Doesn't My CTX 3030 Find A Known Target?

This could be related to masking, low sensitivity setting, coil overload or etc. Perform a 'Factory Reset' and retest the detector.

CTX 3030: What If The WM 10 And The Detector Are Not Synchronising?

To connect the WM 10 Wireless Module to your detector:

  1. Press and hold the Power button on the WM 10 to turn it on
  2. Press and hold the Pairing button. The Pairing LED will start blinking orange
  3. On the detector, highlight and select Options > Wireless Enable
  4. Highlight and select Wireless Connect
  5. Use the right and left arrow buttons to select a channel and press Select. When Pairing is complete the LED will stop blinking and the WM 10 will emit a sound

If Pairing fails, try selecting another channel

The location of the WM 10 can be an issue for path loss. The human body is very attenuating, so having the WM 10 tucked on your backside away from the detector could cause issues. If you’re having issues place the WM 10 in a clear line of sight to the detector to get best results.

CTX 3030: Why Do My Snapshots Disappear After I Turn The Detector Off?

Snapshots are only saved while the detector is on. It is a design feature that the snapshots are deleted when the detector is turned off.

CTX 3030: Is The GPS Working Properly?

During your initial use of GPS the detector will take a while to build up local data. From a cold start the 'locking in' of where satellites are and etc. takes a few minutes, but it can take an hour to build up lots of local data. This data can be used to get better resolution and shaded sky use.

CTX 3030: How Do I Save My Modes On To My PC To Transfer Them Or Email To A Friend?

This is as simple as saving the modes and/or data you want as a file and emailing them the file. Here’s the procedure:

  1. Plug your CTX 3030 into your PC
  2. Open XChange 2 and click the CTX 3030 Collection

CTX 3030: What Is Combined Audio?

Combined audio produces different tones for highly ferrous objects, and objects with varying levels of conductivity. First you set the ferrous line (horizontal line) where you want ferrous targets to provide the audio response. For example, if you set it at 21, then any target with a ferrous reading of 21 or higher (larger number) will produce the audio tone that you program for ferrous targets. On the other hand, if the target has a ferrous reading that is less than 21, the audio response will be based on its conductive properties. In Combined audio you have four 'bins' representing conductive groups with conductive numbers running from 01 - 50. You simply move the lines to represent different target groups and assign a tone for each group. For example, you could set bin one with the lines at 01 and 14. Any target with a ferrous value less than 21, and a conductive value of 14 or less would fall into this bin and provide the audio tone you associated with it via programming.

Bin two, for example, could represent targets between 15 and 28. Bin three could represent targets from 29 - 40 and bin four could be the remainder of conductive targets with CO values of 41 - 50. With the numbers used in these examples, if you passed over a target with a FE value of 12 and a CO value of 44, it would provide the conductive tone you assigned to conductive bin four. If you passed over a target with an ID of 11 – 22, it would provide the tone assigned to conductive bin two. Again, the user can resize and assign tones to each target group (bin). For those of you who enjoyed hunting in Two Tone Ferrous with the E-TRAC, this takes it one step further allowing you to adjust the FE line, and break down the CO targets into four separate groups.

CTX 3030: How Do I Optimise For Finding Gold Jewellery?

Gold can ID anywhere in the range of 10-09 to 13-30, and possibly outside of this range. Sometimes the Conductive reading can be very low, like 02, so to improve your chances you really have to dig everything including aluminium foil and pull-tabs.

Regarding settings, the standard Beach mode is quite suitable. One thing you can do is to change the Tone ID profile to Ferrous 35. What this does is it will make low conductive jewellery produce a higher tone than it would in Conductive profile, making it easier to recognize. You can also select Combine, and customize the tones to suit your personal preference.

For saltwater beaches, Manual Sensitivity is recommended, unless your beaches have high levels of magnetic mineralization. If your unit is running nice and stable on Sensitivity 18, try to push it a bit higher. In situations where you are actually detecting in the salt water, turn the Seawater setting on.

The other thing some beach combers often do is to open up the discrimination pattern a little. Mainly dropping the ferrous rejection slightly or simply search in Pattern 2 (simply press and release the Detect button). This is highly recommended on beaches with low levels of junk targets. In this case another thing you can try is changing the Audio Response to LONG. This can improve your ability to hear the very faint target response which jewellery can produce.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MULTI-IQ AND MULTI-IQ+?

MULTI-IQ+ is the next generation of MULTI-IQ technology and provides more power with lower electromagnetic interference (EMI) in built up areas.
This provides superior performance and depth allowing users to find previously undetectable targets in most locations.

BAGAIMANA PRESTASI MANTIKORE BERBANDING DENGAN PENGESAN EKUINOX?

MANTIKORE akan mengatasi prestasi pengesan EQUINOX dalam hampir semua cara kerana teknologi MULTI-IQ+ yang digunakan dalam MANTICORE memberikan lebih kuasa dan pemprosesan yang lebih pantas yang menyamai kedalaman pengesanan yang lebih baik, kelajuan pemulihan yang dipertingkatkan, lebih banyak pelarasan sensitiviti dan skrin diskriminasi 2D termaju yang menyediakan pengguna dengan lebih banyak maklumat pada sasaran sebelum mereka menggali.

GEJEL APA YANG SESUAI DENGAN MANTIKOR?

Hanya gegelung MANTICORE Minelab yang serasi dengan pengesan MANTICORE.

Pada masa ini tiada gegelung lain yang serasi dengan MANTIKORE.
Gegelung aksesori boleh dibeli daripada pengedar Minelab tempatan anda. Untuk mencari pengedar terdekat anda, sila gunakan alat pengesan pengedar dalam talian kami.

APAKAH PERBEZAAN ANTARA FON kepala ML85 DAN ML105?

Fon kepala ML105 disertakan dalam kotak dengan pengesan MANTIKORE anda dan merupakan fon kepala jenis atas telinga di mana pad buih terletak di atas kepala anda, mengelilingi telinga.
Fon kepala ML85 ialah fon kepala jenis pada telinga di mana pad buih terletak di bahagian luar telinga anda.

APAKAH PERBEZAAN ANTARA MOD PRESET YANG BERBEZA?

UMUM SEMUA BUMI: Prestasi menyeluruh yang sangat baik untuk kebanyakan sasaran dan keadaan. Menyediakan pemisahan sasaran yang hebat dan penolakan sampah yang hebat.
PANTAS SEMUA BUMI: Peningkatan kelajuan pemulihan memberikan pemisahan sasaran yang sangat baik & penolakan kok yang baik.

KONDUKTOR RENDAH SEMUA BUMI: Sangat baik untuk objek kecil/nipis seperti syiling yang dipalu atau barang kemas emas halus.
TOLAK SAMPAH SEMUA rupa bumi: Digunakan di kawasan sampah. Penolakan ferus maksimum

UMUM PANTAI: Prestasi menyeluruh yang sangat baik untuk kebanyakan sasaran dan keadaan pantai apabila digunakan di atas pasir kering atau basah. Menyediakan pemisahan sasaran yang hebat dan penolakan sampah yang hebat.
KONDUKTOR RENDAH PANTAI: Sangat baik untuk sasaran kecil atau nipis seperti rantai emas. Sesuai untuk pasir kering dan basah.
BEACH DEEP: Kelajuan pemulihan yang lebih rendah memberikan kedalaman yang sangat baik untuk sasaran kecil atau nipis seperti rantai emas. Sesuai untuk pasir kering dan basah.
LUNCUR PANTAI & AIR LAUT: Sangat baik untuk keadaan air masin yang sukar termasuk pengesanan dalam air atau ombak.

UMUM GOLDFIELD: Sangat baik untuk nuget kecil dalam tanah jinak hingga sederhana mineral. Mod ini memberikan prestasi keseluruhan yang lebih baik pada ketulan emas dan termasuk audio padang berterusan untuk membantu pengguna mendengar respons sasaran yang lemah. Mod ini tidak dicadangkan untuk kawasan sampah.

KENAPA TIADA ID FERROUS?

Apabila kekerapan ditetapkan kepada MULTI-IQ+, sasaran ferus diberikan ID sasaran pada skala yang sama seperti sasaran bukan ferus, ini ditunjukkan pada skala yang sama seperti ID sasaran bukan ferus. Apabila pemproses dalaman mengklasifikasikan sasaran sebagai ferus, pengesan akan mengeluarkan nada audio yang rendah, mengiringi Penunjuk Ferus merah di bawah nombor ID Sasaran dan skrin 2D akan menunjukkan sasaran untuk muncul di bahagian atas atau bawah skrin, jauh dari garis konduktif pusat.

*Imej untuk tujuan ilustrasi sahaja.*

KENAPA SASARAN FERUS NAMPAK DI ATAS DAN DI BAWAH BARIS TENGAH?

Sasaran ferus kompleks yang mempunyai gabungan sifat ferus dan konduktif yang serupa dengan beberapa syiling biasanya akan muncul di bahagian bawah skrin 2D.
Sasaran ferus yang lebih besar akan muncul di bahagian atas skrin.

Mungkin juga terdapat beberapa sasaran ferus besar dengan bentuk silinder seperti bolt besar yang mempunyai sifat konduktif yang tinggi, jenis sasaran ini boleh menunjukkan jejak sasaran dalam kedua-dua kawasan ferus dan bukan ferus.

*Imej untuk tujuan ilustrasi sahaja.*

APAKAH PERBEZAAN ANTARA HAD FERUS DAN DISKRIMINASI?

Diskriminasi membolehkan pengguna menerima atau menolak individu atau kumpulan ID sasaran. Apabila diskriminasi dilaraskan, perubahan dibuat pada kedua-dua ID sasaran ferus dan bukan ferus. Ini ditunjukkan sebagai garis menegak yang mengkelabukan kedua-dua bahagian ferus dan bukan ferus bagi ID sasaran yang dipilih.

Had ferus membolehkan pengguna melaraskan parameter pengesan untuk menentukan perkara yang dikesan sebagai sasaran ferus atau bukan ferus. Ini boleh dilaraskan dalam kedua-dua bahagian atas dan bawah skrin 2D.

*Imej untuk tujuan ilustrasi sahaja.*

ADAKAH MULTI-IQ+ SENTIASA LEBIH BAIK DARIPADA FREKUENSI TUNGGAL?

Secara umum, Multi adalah lebih tinggi daripada frekuensi tunggal apabila menggunakan pengesan. Walau bagaimanapun, mungkin terdapat situasi khusus di mana frekuensi tertentu mempunyai kelebihan unik.
*Sila ambil perhatian bahawa apabila menggunakan frekuensi tunggal Had Ferus akan dilumpuhkan dan sasaran ferus akan memberikan ID sasaran 1 hingga 19 dan menunjukkan petunjuk ferus merah pada skrin*

BERAPA LAMA BATERI LI-ION TAHAN DENGAN SEKALI CAJ?

Masa jalan biasa, daripada cas penuh ialah kira-kira 10 jam . Pengesan MANTICORE juga boleh dikuasakan terus daripada mana-mana Bank Kuasa USB yang menyokong keupayaan output 0.5A atau 2A (@ 5V). Ini berkesan memberikan masa jalan berterusan hanya dihadkan oleh bank kuasa yang digunakan.

*Anda TIDAK boleh menggunakan pengesan MANTIKORE anda di bawah air apabila ia disambungkan ke bank kuasa USB*

BOLEHKAH SAYA MENGGUNAKAN PENGEcas USB QUICKCHARGE™?

Pengesan MANTICORE menyokong pengecasan daripada peranti yang mematuhi standard USB 2.0. QuickCharge™ ialah standard proprietari yang dibangunkan oleh Qualcomm yang menggunakan voltan yang lebih tinggi dan tidak serasi dengan pengesan MANTIKORE.

BERAPA LAMA BATERI LI-ION UNTUK MENGEcas PENUH?

Masa pengecasan, daripada rata sepenuhnya kepada 100%, adalah lebih kurang 7 jam apabila dicas dengan pengecas berkapasiti tinggi (>1.7A @ 5V).

Mana-mana port USB standard yang serasi dengan pengecasan bateri USB 1.2 (BC1.2) boleh digunakan untuk mengecas bateri anda, namun masa pengecasan mungkin lebih lama jika menggunakan pilihan kuasa rendah.

APAKAH JANGKA HAYAT BATERI LI-ION TERBINA?

Ketahanan untuk semua bateri bergantung pada beberapa faktor yang selalunya boleh dikawal pada tahap tertentu oleh pengguna; seperti suhu, paras cas apabila disimpan, kitaran pengecasan dsb. Punca paling biasa untuk mengurangkan hayat bateri Li-ION ialah mengekalkan bateri yang dicas penuh pada suhu tinggi.

Seperti semua komponen yang digunakan dalam pengesan kami, kami hanya mendapatkan komponen berkualiti tinggi moden sahaja daripada vendor yang bertanggungjawab. Kami tidak menjangkakan pengguna akan mengalami sebarang masalah bateri selama bertahun-tahun penggunaan. Pengalaman kami dengan pengesan CTX 3030 dan GPZ 7000 yang kedua-duanya menggunakan bateri Li-ION ialah sebahagian besar pengguna tidak perlu membeli bateri gantian.

BAGAIMANAKAH SAYA BOLEH MEMAKSIMAKAN HAYAT BATERI SAYA?

  • Elakkan mengecas atau menggunakan dalam suhu yang melampau.
  • Elakkan perubahan suhu melampau yang cepat.
  • Gunakan hanya pengecas USB daripada pengeluar terkemuka. Elakkan apa yang dipanggil pengecas ultrafast daripada pihak ketiga yang mendakwa mengecas sepenuhnya bateri Li-ION dalam masa kurang daripada satu jam.
  • Sebelum menyimpan pengesan untuk tempoh yang lama, bateri perlu dicas kepada kira-kira 50-60%. Pada Penunjuk Status Bateri MANTIKORE, 2-bar adalah caj optimum untuk penyimpanan berpanjangan. Mengekalkan caj 2-bar secara berkala semasa penyimpanan lanjutan juga dinasihatkan. Storan lanjutan dalam suhu kurang daripada 30oC (86'F) juga akan meminimumkan degradasi kepada hayat bateri Li-ION.

PENGEcas USB MANAKAH YANG BOLEH SAYA GUNAKAN UNTUK MENGEcas MANTIKOR?

Gunakan hanya Pengecas USB yang bereputasi dan diperakui semasa mengecas bateri MANTIKORE seperti yang diperincikan di bawah:

  • Pengecas USB 2A Berkualiti Tinggi dengan kapasiti 1.7A @ +5V akan menghasilkan masa pengecasan penuh kira-kira 7 jam. *Contoh biasa ialah pengecas berjenama Apple™ dan Samsung™.*
  • Port USB 2.0 standard dengan kapasiti 0.5A @ +5V akan menghasilkan masa pengecasan penuh kira-kira 24 jam.
  • Mana-mana Port USB 2.0 pada komputer. (Kapasiti 0.5A, kira-kira 24 jam untuk cas penuh)
  • Bank kuasa USB. (Kapasiti 0.5A, kira-kira 24 jam untuk cas penuh)

BOLEHKAH SAYA MENGGANTIKAN BATERI?

Bateri Li-ION yang terkandung dalam pemegang boleh diganti dan dilindungi di bawah jaminan untuk tempoh   6 bulan dari tarikh pembelian. Minelab mengesyorkan menggunakan Pusat Servis Dibenarkan untuk mengelakkan kemungkinan merosakkan meterai kalis air dan membatalkan jaminan pengesan.

BOLEHKAH SAYA MENGESAN DENGAN USB POWER BANK?

Ya, apabila mengesan di darat, tanpa sebarang batasan. Walau bagaimanapun, pengesan tidak boleh digunakan di bawah air semasa mengecas atau apabila disambungkan ke bank kuasa.

ADAKAH BATERI MENGECIS APABILA SAYA MENGGUNAKAN POWER BANK USB?

ya. Jika pengesan sedang digunakan, apabila dikuasakan oleh bank kuasa USB, bateri mungkin mengecas pada kadar yang lebih perlahan jika terdapat kapasiti ganti yang mencukupi dalam bank kuasa.

PERLUKAH SAYA MENCUCI PENGESAN SIRI EKUINOX SAYA SELEPAS MENGGUNAKAN DI PANTAI?

ya. Ia adalah amalan yang baik untuk mencuci pengesan dengan air bersih bersih selepas mengesan di dalam air atau di pantai. Jangan sekali-kali menggunakan bahan pelelas atau pelarut untuk membersihkan pengesan.

PERLUKAH SAYA MELETAKKAN GIS PADA PENGESAN SEBELUM MENGGUNAKAN DALAM AIR?

Tidak. Tidak perlu melincirkan atau melincirkan mana-mana bahagian pengesan, termasuk pengedap kalis air. Menggunakan mana-mana gris berasaskan petroleum akan merosakkan pengedap kalis air dan membatalkan jaminan.

SAYA KESAN DALAM AIR. FON kepala YANG MANA YANG PERLU SAYA GUNAKAN?

Jika mengharungi dalam atau tenggelam sepenuhnya, kami mengesyorkan menggunakan hanya Fon Kepala Kalis Air Minelab . Ini mempunyai penyambung kejuruteraan khas yang membentuk pengedap kalis air apabila digunakan dengan MANTIKORE. Fon kepala ini tersedia sebagai aksesori yang boleh dibeli daripada pengedar Minelab tempatan anda.

Why Aren't There Any Interchangeable Coils?

Hardwired coils are more reliable for deep diving detectors.

Can I Use Rechargeable 1.2v Cells In The Alkaline Pack?

No, 8 x 1.2V is only 9.6V, and these detectors require 12V to function.

Why Is My Threshold Very Loud, Even With The Control Turned Down?

Check to ensure the battery is fully charged. A low battery causes the threshold to get very loud and the response becomes erratic.

What Special Tips Do You Have?

Salt, sand and grit will accumulate on the Excalibur II. So make sure you thoroughly rinse it with fresh water after use, including the coil cover, shafts and battery pack. Don't forget the vent holes on each headphone diaphragm as these need to be clear if used for diving purposes to allow for ear equalisation.

IS THE MULTI-IQ THE SAME BETWEEN THE EQUINOX 600/800 AND THE EQUINOX 700/900?

The Multi-IQ engine in all EQUINOX series is the same, there are however processor enhancements in the EQUINOX 700 and EQUINOX 900 that allow the detector to provide users with better Iron Bias, target separation and discrimination depth.

WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE DETECT MODE SEARCH PROFILES?

Park 1 (General/Coins)
Park 1 is optimised for modern coins and larger jewellery with a default discrimination pattern set to reject many common aluminium foil-like targets. Therefore, this is the ideal Profile to start with to learn EQUINOX before experimenting with the other Modes and more specialist settings. Park 1 Multi-IQ processes a lower frequency weighting of the multi-frequency signal, as well as using algorithms that maximise ground balancing for soil to achieve the best signal-to-noise ratio. Hence Park 1 is most suited for general detecting and coin hunting.

Park 2 (Fine jewellery)
Park 2 is ideal for smaller targets in trash-infested (including ferrous trash) locations. It will detect a wider range of targets including low conductor (or higher frequency) targets, e.g. fine jewellery. All non-ferrous targets are accepted by default. Recovery Speed is increased to clearly identify good targets masked by iron trash. Target Tone is set to maximum to provide as much target information as possible via audio. Park 2 Multi-IQ processes a higher frequency weighted multi-frequency signal while ground balancing for soil.

Field 1 (Coins and Artefacts)
Field 1 is for general hunting with high trash rejection. This assists in locating desired targets more easily. The default discrimination pattern is set to reject most coke signals. The first Tone Break is set so that the coke signals will produce the same low tone as ferrous targets. Field 1 Multi-IQ processes a lower frequency weighted multi-frequency signal, as well as using algorithms that maximise ground balancing for soil, to achieve the best signal to noise ratio. Hence being most suited for general detecting and coin hunting.

Field 2 (Fine coins and Artefacts)
Field 2 suits locations with high target and trash densities. It will better detect small hammered coins on their edge or at greater depth. The default discrimination pattern is set to reject most coke signals. Target Tone is set to maximum to enhance audio identification and Recovery Speed is faster. The first Tone Break has been set so that the coke signals will produce the same low tone as ferrous targets. Field 2 Multi-IQ processes a higher frequency weighted multi-frequency signal while ground balancing for soil.

Beach 1
Beach 1 is most useful for detecting in wet or dry beach sand and also in shallow water where conductive salt signals are prevalent. It has good sensitivity to coins and small/large jewellery. Beach 1 reduces the salt signal, while maintaining high transmit power, and still being sensitive to desirable targets. Beach 1 Multi-IQ processes a low frequency weighted multi-frequency signal, and uses special algorithms to maximise ground balancing for salt

Beach 2
Beach 2 gives the best results when either wading or shallow diving with the coil and/or detector fully submerged. In these instances, there is a very strong salt signal present, so Beach 2 has a lower transmit power, which results in much less noise. This profile may also be useful in dry conditions where there are extremely high ground noise levels. Beach 2 Multi-IQ processes a very low weighted multi-frequency combination, using the same algorithms as Beach 1 to maximise ground balancing for salt.

Multi-IQ (EQUINOX 800 & 900 only)

Gold 1
Gold 1 is suitable for searching for small gold nuggets in ‘mild’ ground. Most goldfield locations have a variable level of iron mineralisation that will require an ongoing Ground Balance adjustment, therefore Tracking Ground Balance is the default setting. The audio Threshold Level and Threshold Pitch are optimised for hunting for gold nuggets. Gold 1 Multi-IQ processes a high frequency weighted multi-frequency signal, while ground balancing for mineralised soil.


Gold 2
Gold 2 is best for searching for deeper gold nuggets in ‘difficult’ ground conditions. Gold 2 has a lower Recovery Speed, which will increase detection depth. However, more ground noise in more heavily mineralised grounds may result. Tracking Ground Balance is the default setting. The audio Threshold Level and Threshold Pitch are optimised for hunting for gold nuggets. Gold 2 Multi-IQ processes a high frequency weighted multifrequency signal, while ground balancing for mineralised soil.

  • EQUINOX 600 and EQUINOX 800 have a weight of 1.34kg (2.95lbs)

WHAT IS THE COMPACTED LENGTH OF THE EQUINOX 700 / EQUINOX 900?

The new carbon fiber shaft design allows users to pack the detector down to 61cm (24 in) and has a full extension of 144cm (56.7 in)

HOW DOES THE EQUINOX 700 AND 900 PERFORMANCE COMPARE WITH EQUINOX 600 AND 800?

Depth performance will differ depending on conditions and detector settings. Beach performance is better overall. Enhancements have been made to improve recovery speed, target separation and discrimination depth allowing users to have solid target IDs at better depths. EQUINOX 900 comes with 28 levels of sensitivity allowing more depth where environmental conditions allow the sensitivity to be turned up.

WHAT ARE THE FREQUENCY DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE EQUINOX 600, 700, 800 & 900?

What are the frequency differences between the EQUINOX 600, 700, 800 & 900?
The EQUINOX 600 and 700 offer a choice of 4 single selectable frequencies:
•    4kHz
•    5 kHz
•    10 kHz
•    15 kHz 

The EQUINOX 800 and 900 offers the choice of 6 single selectable frequencies:
•    4kHz
•    5 kHz
•    10 kHz
•    15 kHz
•    20 kHz
•    40 kHz

WHEN SHOULD I USE GOLD MODE ON THE EQUINOX 800 OR 900?

Gold Mode is designed to enhance performance on small gold nuggets in mineralized ground. It does so primarily by using different audio processing so that targets respond both in volume and pitch. The Gold Mode will be of interest to gold prospectors but has less application for other uses.

CAN I STILL FIND GOLD WITH AN EQUINOX 600 OR 700?

While the EQUINOX 600 and 700 do not have a dedicated Gold prospecting mode. Multi-IQ is so good in both Park 2 and Field 2, that these profiles are as good, or better, at finding gold nuggets than many dedicated single-frequency gold detectors. Multi-IQ provides very stable ID’s which is great for choosing what targets to dig in a goldfield.

WHAT IS IRON BIAS?

Iron Bias is a setting that lets you choose how you want iron in the ground to sound. If you have a low setting, more of the iron will come through as a good target to dig up. This will also give you the best chance of finding any valuable non-ferrous targets nestled among the iron.

However, if you desire to hear less false audio sounds from the iron in the ground, try increasing the Iron Bias setting.

IS THE IRON BIAS THE SAME ACROSS THE EQUINOX SERIES?

The Iron Bias in the EQUINOX 700 and EQUINOX 900 has had some changes to improve discrimination depth.
EQUINOX 600 and 800 have the option to choose either FE Iron Bias or F2 Iron Bias. FE Iron Bias will provide control over the target ID response. F2 Iron Bias will provide tone and target ID response adjustment for a wider range of ferrous targets. 
Iron Bias in the EQUINOX 700 and EQUINOX 900 is based off the F2 Iron Bias in the EQUINOX 600 and EQUINOX 800 but allows even better overall depth detection and target separation. Because of this there is no F2 option available in the EQUINOX 700 or EQUINOX 900.

WHAT ACCESSORY COILS ARE AVAILABLE?

  • EQX06 / EQX|06 (3011-0462 6” round Double-D coil)
  • EQX11 / EQX|11 (3011-0463 11” round Double-D coil)
  • EQX15 / EQX|15 (3011-0464 15”x12” Double-D coil)

CAN I USE AN AFTERMARKET COIL?

Yes, Coiltek Coils manufacture Minelab approved aftermarket coils for the EQUINOX and X-TERRA-PRO detectors.

Coiltek NOX coils.

CAN I USE A COIL FROM A DIFFERENT MODEL SUCH AS THE CTX 3030 OR VANQUISH ON AN EQUINOX?

No, they have different technology requirements and are not compatible. Only Minelab EQX coils are compatible with EQUINOX series detectors.

WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF HAVING 119 TARGET IDS?

Having a larger target ID scale allows the detector to provide the user with more information on the target prior to digging it. This allows users to identify more targets individually which will help determine if the target is valuable or trash.

IS MULTI ALWAYS BETTER THAN THE SINGLE FREQUENCIES?

In general, Multi is superior to the single frequencies when using an EQUINOX. However, there may be specialised situations where a particular frequency has a unique advantage. The EQUINOX Series offers users simultaneous Multi-Frequency plus a wide range of single selectable frequencies for specialist situations.

CAN I RESET AN INDIVIDUAL SEARCH PROFILE?

Yes, there is no need to perform a full factory reset. Individual Search Profiles can easily be returned to their factory preset settings. Only the local settings will be reset and any global settings will remain in their last-use state.

  1. Navigate to the Detect Mode Search Profile you wish to reset.
  2. Press and hold the Detect Mode button for 5 seconds.
  3. SP will appear on the Target ID Display when a Detect Mode Search Profile is reset.

CAN I DETECT OVER BLACK SAND ON A BEACH?

Beach Mode automatically senses black sand and reduces the transmit power to ensure that targets can still be detected without overloading occurring. When black sand is sensed, the Beach Overload Indicator will appear on the LCD. When this icon disappears, full transmit power automatically resumes.

WHAT IS DEPTH PITCH?

Depth Pitch is an audio mode that provides a continuous pitch audio with no threshold tone. It provides separate audio for ferrous and non-ferrous targets with a variable pitch.

Small or deep targets providing a weaker signal will have a lower pitch.

Large or shallow targets providing a stronger signal will have a higher pitch.

HOW ROBUST IS THE EQUINOX 700 AND EQUINOX 900?

EQUINOX 700 and EQUINOX 900 have been designed to handle harsh outdoor environments. Our testing includes drop tests up to 1m, flex and water ingress testing. Both models are IP68 rated and can be submerged up to 5m (16ft)

CAN WE USE THE NEW CARBON FIBER SHAFTS ON THE EQUINOX 600 OR EQUINOX 800?

Middle and Lower shafts can be mixed. They are not identical in size so they may not provide an exact fit. Upper shafts cannot be changed as the physical mounting point of the control pod is different.

CAN I USE THE MAGNETIC CHARGER SUPPLIED WITH THE EQUINOX 600 OR 800 ON THE EQUINOX 700 OR 900?

Yes. The supplied magnetic USB charge cable can be used on all EQUINOX models, MANTICORE and X-TERRA PRO detectors.

HOW LONG DOES THE LI-ION BATTERY TAKE TO FULLY CHARGE?

The charge time, from completely flat to 100%, is approximately 4 hours when charged with a high capacity charger (>1.7A @ 5V).

WHAT IS THE LIFESPAN OF THE BUILT-IN LI-ION BATTERY?

Longevity for all batteries depends on a number of factors that are often controllable to some degree by the user; such as temperature, charge levels when stored, charge cycles etc. The most common cause of reduced life of Li-ION batteries is keeping a fully charged battery at elevated temperatures.

As with all components used in our detectors, we stringently source only modern high quality components from responsible vendors. We do not expect users to experience any battery issues over years of use. Our experience with the CTX 3030 and GPZ 7000 detectors which both use Li-ION batteries is that the vast majority of users have never needed to purchase a replacement battery.

HOW CAN I MAXIMISE MY BATTERY LIFE?

•    Avoid charging or using in extreme temperatures.
•    Avoid rapid extreme temperature swings.
•    Use only Minelab or Minelab recommended USB chargers and avoid so-called ultrafast chargers from third-parties that claim to fully charge Li-ION batteries in less than one hour.
•     Before storing the detector for prolonged periods, the battery should be charged to approximately 50-60%. On the EQUINOX Battery Status Indicator, 2-bars is the optimum charge for prolonged storage. Maintaining the 2-bar charge periodically during extended storage is also advisable. Extended storage in temperatures less than 30oC (86’F) will also minimize degradation to Li-ION battery life

WHICH USB CHARGERS CAN I USE TO CHARGE THE EQUINOX?

Use only reputable and certified USB Chargers when charging the EQUINOX battery as detailed below:

  1. High Quality 2A USB Chargers with a minimum capacity of 2A @ +5V will yield a full charge time of approximately 4 hours. a. Typical examples are Apple™ and Samsung™ branded chargers.
  2. Standard USB 2.0 Port with a maximum capacity of 0.5A @ +5V will yield a full charge time of approximately 18 hours.
  3. Any USB 2.0 Port on a computer. (0.5A capacity, approximately 18 hours for a full charge)
  4. A USB Power bank. (0.5A capacity, approximately 18 hours for a full charge)

HOW LONG DOES THE LI-ION BATTERY LAST ON A SINGLE CHARGE?

Typical runtime, from a full charge using wired headphones, is approximately 12 hours. The EQUINOX Series detectors can also be powered directly from any USB Power Bank that supports 0.5A or 2A (@ 5V) output capability. This effectively gives a continuous runtime only limited by the power banks being used.

CAN I USE QUICKCHARGE™ USB CHARGERS?

The EQUINOX detectors support charging from devices that comply to the USB 2.0 standard. QuickCharge™ is a proprietary standard develop by Qualcomm that uses a higher voltage and is not compatible with EQUINOX detectors.

How does VANQUISH performance compare with EQUINOX?

VANQUISH depth performance is similar but not quite as deep as the EQUINOX. However, EQUINOX detectors are more configurable for varying conditions. 

What frequencies does VANQUISH use?

Minelab does not publish the exact frequencies of Multi-IQ technology used in the VANQUISH Series. These frequencies are similar to the Multi-IQ mode in the EQUINOX Series.

Does VANQUISH have single selectable frequencies?

The VANQUISH Series detectors only use Multi-IQ (simultaneous multi-frequency) technology.

How do Target IDs on VANQUISH compare to EQUINOX?

Target IDs on VANQUISH are the same as the Target IDs on EQUINOX.

What Recovery Speeds are used by VANQUISH?

Recovery speed varies depending on the mode selected.

  • Coin mode has the fastest recovery speed so that it can quickly isolate targets from trash.
  • Relic mode has the slowest recovery speed and achieves the greatest depth. However, it has slightly reduced target separation ability.
  • Jewellery mode has a medium recovery speed that balances target separation and depth. This makes it a great all-round setting to use.

What Recovery Speed does “Custom” have?

The Custom mode is programmable. If you program custom mode, it will adopt the recovery speed from the mode you program it to, e.g. coin mode = fast recovery speed, jewellery = medium recovery speed, relic = slow recovery speed.

Why do my discrimination patterns get deleted when I turn off the detector?

When the detector is switched off, discrimination patterns in coin, jewellery & relic modes are all reset. Custom mode will keep its saved discrimination pattern.

What coils are available for VANQUISH?

There are three coils available for VANQUISH.  These are: 

  • V12 (12 x 9" Double-D)
  • V10 (10 x 7" Double-D)
  • V8 (8 x 5" Double-D)

How can I change the batteries?

The VANQUISH Series requires x4 AA batteries and is compatible with both rechargeable and non-rechargeable batteries. The battery level indicator shows the current battery level.  Lift the battery cover off the control box to replace the batteries. 

Can VANQUISH operate with rechargeable batteries?

The VANQUISH 540 and 540 Pro-Pack come with x4 AA NiMH rechargeable cells and a charger. The VANQUISH 340 and 440 can also operate with rechargeable batteries. Minelab recommends only NiMH rechargeable batteries or non-rechargeable AA alkaline batteries. Batteries rated between 1.2v – 1.5v are acceptable. If the battery has a voltage higher than 1.5v, it can damage the detector.

What is the VANQUISH detecting time on a full battery charge?

AA rechargeable NiMH batteries provide a run-time of approximately 11 hours using factory default settings.

Non-rechargeable, high-quality AA alkaline batteries provide a run-time of approximately 10 hours.

Are VANQUISH & EQUINOX Coils cross-compatible?

No. VANQUISH coils cannot be used on EQUINOX, and EQUINOX coils cannot be used on VANQUISH.

Is the VANQUISH control box waterproof?

The VANQUISH control box is not submersible. The coils are fully waterproof up to 1 m (3 ft).

What temperature water can I submerge it in?

The temperature specification for the VANQUISH Series is -10C – 40 C (14F – 104 F). The coil is waterproof to 1 m (3 ft), but the control pod cannot be submerged.

Can the VANQUISH sound or tones be altered or changed?

No. Pitch or tone breakpoints cannot be adjusted on the VANQUISH Series.

Does VANQUISH have a backlight on the screen?

The VANQUISH 540 has a red backlight for detecting in low light situations. The backlight is 'Off' by default at each start-up to reduce battery consumption.

Is there a ground balance feature?

The Multi-IQ technology used in VANQUISH allows the detector to provide stable and reliable target IDs in light of medium mineralised soils found in beaches or parks. As a result, there is no ground balance function available in the VANQUISH Series.

How well does VANQUISH manage beach conditions?

Multi-IQ technology allows VANQUISH to operate on wet beach sand and salt water with much higher performance than a single frequency VLF detector.

Can I use other branded wireless headphones?

VANQUISH 540 can operate with Bluetooth V4.2 or later and Bluetooth aptX Low Latency headphones. VANQUISH 340 & 440 do not have wireless capability.

Will VANQUISH accept software updates for future upgrades?

Yes. Software updates can be found on the Minelab website on the VANQUISH product page 'downloads' section. 

What is the warranty period on VANQUISH?

WHAT IS PRO-SWITCH TECHNOLOGY?

PRO-SWITCH technology is a single frequency VLF technology that allows the user to switch transmit frequencies at the touch of a button to optimise performance.
Changing frequency gives detectorists the ability to adjust frequencies to move away from noise or optimise detection ability when hunting for specific metal targets.
Park and Field modes have 5kHz, 10kHz and 15kHz selectable frequencies. Beach modes have an 8kHz single frequency for high salt mineralisation.

IS MULTI-IQ TECHNOLOGY BETTER THAN PRO-SWITCH TECHNOLOGY?

MULTI-IQ will provide superior results when compared to PRO-SWITCH. There may be situations where the PRO-SWITCH technology can perform equally as well as MULTI-IQ. This will depend on how the user has optimised the detector settings.
Multi-IQ will provide maximum performance in all situations as the internal processor does all the hard work. PRO-SWITCH relies on the user to ensure the detector is set to its optimal performance capability.

SHOULD I PURCHASE AN X-TERRA PRO OR A VANQUISH? THE PRICES ARE SIMILAR.

VANQUISH detectors with MULTI-IQ are a switch-on and go type detector designed to have excellent performance but still be very easy to use with minimal setting adjustments. This is possible as the MULTI-IQ processor does all the hard work for you.
X-TERRA PRO is a high performing single frequency detector designed for the more committed detectorist looking for a well-priced detector with great performance. Users have the ability to adjust transmit frequency which provides more control allowing detectorists to tune the detection performance when hunting for specific targets. The X-TERRA PRO is waterproof to 5 meters (15 feet) and provides superior performance when compared to any other single frequency detector currently on the market.
Target ID’s on the X-TERRA PRO will generally not be quite as stable as MULTI-IQ target ID’s and MULTI-IQ detectors will generally provide superior performance when in conductive (salty) soils.

WHAT COILS ARE COMPATIBLE WITH THE X-TERRA PRO?

The X-TERRA PRO comes with a V12X 12” Elliptical Double-D coil in the box, you can purchase the below accessory coils from your local Minelab dealership. Any coil that is compatible with the EQUINOX detectors is also compatible with the X-TERRA PRO.

  • V8X 8” Elliptical Double-D coil (3011-0457)
  • V10X 10” Elliptical Double-D coil (3011-0458)
  • EQX|06 (6” round Double-D coil) (3011-0462)
  • EQX|11 (11” round Double-D coil) (3011-0463)
  • ​​​​​​​EQX|15 (15”x12” elliptical Double-D coil) (3011-0464)

WHICH FREQUENCY SHOULD I CHOOSE WHEN DETECTING WITH THE X-TERRA PRO?

10kHz is the best all-round frequency to start detecting with as it provides good depth and sensitivity across a range of different targets.
It is expected when running a lower transmit frequency on the X-TERRA PRO that performance on high conductors containing silver or copper will provide similar depths to MULTI-IQ detectors.
It is expected when running a higher transmit frequency on the X-TERRA PRO that performance on lower conductors containing gold will provide similar depths to MULTI-IQ detectors.

HOW DOES X-TERRA PRO PERFORM AT THE BEACH OR IN SALTY CONDITIONS?

At the beach in salty conditions most single frequency detectors struggle with the mineralisation. The X-TERRA PRO provides unprecedented performance for a single frequency VLF detector in salty conditions.

CAN I RESET AN INDIVIDUAL SEARCH PROFILE?

Yes, there is no need to perform a full factory reset. Individual Search Profiles can easily be returned to their factory preset settings. Only the local settings will be reset and any global settings will remain in their last-use state.

  • Navigate to the Detect Mode Search Profile you wish to reset.
  • Press and hold the Detect Mode button for 5 seconds.
  • SP will appear on the Target ID Display when a Detect Mode Search Profile is reset.

CAN I USE WIRELESS AUDIO WITH MY X-TERRA PRO?

Yes, you can purchase the Minelab ML85 headphones, ML105 headphones or the WM09 wireless module. These are all compatible with the X-TERRA PRO.
There are currently no aftermarket wireless headphones available for the X-TERRA PRO.

CAN I USE BLUETOOTH HEADPHONES WITH MY X-TERRA PRO?

The X-TERRA PRO uses a proprietary wireless audio that is not compatible with any current versions of BLUETOOTH. The Minelab ML85 or ML105 headphones and WM09 wireless module are compatible with the X-TERRA PRO and are available from your local authorised Minelab dealership.

WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE DETECT MODE SEARCH PROFILES?

Park 1 provides a default 10kHz transmit frequency and is optimised for detecting modern coins and larger jewellery. This is a good mode to learn the X-TERRA PRO before experimenting with other settings.

Park 2 provides a default 15kHz transmit frequency and is optimised for detecting fine jewellery and smaller targets in trash infested areas. Recovery speed in Park 2 is increased to clearly identify good targets masked by iron trash.

Field 1 provides a default 10kHz transmit frequency and is optimised for detecting modern coins and general detecting. It has a high trash rejection which makes it an ideal detect mode for areas containing coke.

Field 2 provides a default 15kHz transmit frequency and is optimised for locations with high target and trash densities. This mode is great for coins on edge or sitting at greater depths. It has a high trash rejection which makes it an ideal detect mode for areas containing coke.

Beach 1 provides a default 8kHz transmit frequency and is optimised for dry and wet sand. Beach 1 mode has a lower recovery speed for better depth across all targets and is good for detecting coins and small to large jewellery.

Beach 2 provides a default 8kHz transmit frequency and is optimised for underwater usage where a very strong salt signal is present. To compensate for the high salt content Beach 2 has a lower transmit power. Beach 2 has a higher recovery speed to aid in saltwater rejection. It can also be used in dry soils that are conductive (salty).

HOW LONG DOES THE LI-ION BATTERY LAST ON A SINGLE CHARGE?

Typical runtime, from a full charge using wired headphones, is approximately 16 hours. The X-TERRA PRO detector can also be powered directly from any USB Power Bank that supports 0.5A or 2A (@ 5V) output capability. This effectively gives a continuous runtime only limited by the capacity of the power bank.

CAN I USE QUICKCHARGE™ USB CHARGERS?

The X-TERRA PRO detector supports charging from devices that comply to the USB 2.0 standard. QuickCharge™ is a proprietary standard develop by Qualcomm that uses a higher voltage and is not compatible with X-TERRA PRO detectors.

HOW LONG DOES THE LI-ION BATTERY TAKE TO FULLY CHARGE?

The charge time, from completely flat to 100%, is approximately 4 hours when charged with a high capacity charger (>1.7A @ 5V).

WHAT IS THE LIFESPAN OF THE BUILT-IN LI-ION BATTERY?

Longevity for all batteries depends on a number of factors that are often controllable to some degree by the user; such as temperature, charge levels when stored, charge cycles etc. The most common cause of reduced life of Li-ION batteries is keeping a fully charged battery at elevated temperatures.
As with all components used in our detectors, we stringently source only modern high quality components from responsible vendors. We do not expect users to experience any battery issues over years of use. Our experience with the CTX 3030 and GPZ 7000 detectors which both use Li-ION batteries is that the vast majority of users have never needed to purchase a replacement battery.

HOW CAN I MAXIMISE MY BATTERY LIFE?

  • Avoid charging or using in extreme temperatures.
  • Avoid rapid extreme temperature swings.
  • Use only USB chargers from reputable manufacturers. Avoid so-called ultrafast chargers from third parties that claim to fully charge Li-ION batteries in less than one hour.
  •  Before storing the detector for prolonged periods, the battery should be charged to approximately 50-60%. On the X-TERRA PRO Battery Status Indicator, 2-bars is the optimum charge for prolonged storage. Maintaining the 2-bar charge periodically during extended storage is also advisable. Extended storage in temperatures less than 30oC (86’F) will also minimize degradation to Li-ION battery life.

WHICH USB CHARGERS CAN I USE TO CHARGE THE X-TERRA PRO?

Use only reputable and certified USB Chargers when charging the X-TERRA PRO battery as detailed below:

  • High Quality 2A USB Chargers with a capacity of 2A @ +5V will yield a full charge time of approximately 4 hours. a. Typical examples are Apple™ and Samsung™ branded chargers.
  • Standard USB 2.0 Port with a capacity of 0.5A @ +5V will yield a full charge time of approximately 18 hours.
  • Any USB 2.0 Port on a computer (0.5A capacity, approximately 18 hours for a full charge)
  • A USB Power bank (0.5A capacity, approximately 18 hours for a full charge)

BOLEHKAH SAYA MENGGANTIKAN BATERI?

Bateri Li-ION yang terkandung dalam pemegang boleh diganti dan dilindungi di bawah jaminan untuk tempoh   6 bulan dari tarikh pembelian. Minelab mengesyorkan menggunakan Pusat Servis Dibenarkan untuk mengelakkan kemungkinan merosakkan meterai kalis air dan membatalkan jaminan pengesan.

CAN I DETECT WITH A USB POWER BANK?

Yes, when detecting on land, without any limitations. However, the detector must not be used underwater whilst charging or when connected to a power bank.

DOES THE BATTERY CHARGE WHEN I USE A USB POWER BANK?

Yes. If the detector is being used, when powered by a USB power bank, the battery may charge at a slower rate if there is enough spare capacity in the power bank.

SHOULD I WASH MY X-TERRA PRO DETECTOR AFTER USING AT THE BEACH?

Yes. It is good practice to wash the detector with clean fresh water after detecting in water or on the beach. Never use abrasives or solvents to clean the detector.
Whenever washing or using your detector underwater always ensure that the plastic bung on the rear of the control pod is firmly screwed into the headphone jack.

DO I NEED TO PUT GREASE ON THE DETECTOR BEFORE USING IN WATER?

No. It is not necessary to lubricate or grease any part of the detector, including the waterproof seals. Using any petroleum-based grease will damage the waterproof seals and void the warranty.

I DETECT IN WATER. WHICH HEADPHONES SHOULD I USE?

If deep wading or fully submerged, we recommend using only Minelab Waterproof Headphones. These have a specially engineered connector that forms a waterproof seal when used with the X-TERRA PRO. These headphones are available as an accessory (Part Number: 3011-0372)

CAN GO-FIND OPERATE WITH RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES?

Yes, the GO-FIND series can operate with rechargeable 1.2volt Ni-MH rechargeable batteries. You can only use batteries that have a 1.2 volt or 1.5volt rating. Most AA Lithium batteries have a higher voltage and cannot be used as they exceed the maximum voltage rating for the detector. Using Lithium batteries that exceed the maximum voltage rating can damage the internal electronics of the detector. This type of damage is not covered under warranty.

CAN I WASH MY DETECTOR?

The detection coil on the GO-FIND series is waterproof to 60cm (2ft) and can be washed. The screen pod should never be washed or submerged in water as it is not waterproof. To clean the screen pod wipe it with a damp cloth.

IS THERE A GROUND BALANCE FEATURE?

Yes, the GO-FIND detectors utilise Minelab’s Easy-Trak ground balance technology which automatically senses salt mineralisation in the ground and adjusts the detector to ensure constant smooth usage when detecting in beaches or parks.

CAN I USE WIRELESS HEADPHONES?

Wireless headphones can be used but they cannot be paired directly to your detector. You will need to connect your wireless headphones to your smartphone and then connect your GO-FIND 44 or 66 to your smartphone via the GO-FIND app. GO-FIND 11 or 22 do not have Bluetooth capability and cannot connect to the GO-FIND app or wireless headphones.

CAN I USE A DIFFERENT COIL ON THE X-TERRA VOYAGER?

No, the X-TERRA VOYAGER uses different technology to other detectors. You can only use the coil that is supplied in the box with the detector.

WHAT ACCESSORY COILS ARE AVAILABLE?

The X-TERRA VOYAGER does not have any accessory coils currently available.

HOW DEEP DOES THE DEPTH GAUGE INDICATE?

The depth gauge will provide an approximate indication of depth and should only be used as a guide as large or small metals will cause the gauge to become inaccurate. A coin sized object will provide the below estimated depths.
1 arrow = 1” (25mm)
2 arrows = 3” (75mm)
3 arrows = 5” (125mm)
4 arrows = 6” (150mm)
5 arrows = >6” (>150mm)

CAN I USE WIRELESS HEADPHONES WITH MY X-TERRA VOYAGER?

The X-TERRA VOYAGER does not have wireless capability. You can use a Bluetooth wireless transmit module with the detector. These are not available from Minelab and will have to be purchased separately.

WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE DETECT MODE SEARCH PROFILES?

All Metal allows the detector to detect all metal types. When in all metal mode there will be no discrimination of any metal types.
Custom provides users the ability to discriminate any of the target group icons at the top of the screen. You simply navigate through to the desired target group and the icon will flash for a few seconds and then it will disappear. All target ID’s in this target group will now be discriminated out.
To detect the discriminated target group simply navigate away from the target group and then navigate back to the desired target group. The icon will flash for a few seconds and then appear. All target ID’s in the target group will now detect again.
Jewelry provides discrimination pattern that ignores most iron/ferrous junk. You will also find coins, relics and other non-ferrous metals. This mode is good for trashy environments.
Learn allows users to detect 1 specific target group. You simply need to wave the desired metal over the detection coil, the detector will then learn this target ID and accept only targets ID’s within that target group.

HOW LONG DOES THE BATTERY LAST?

Typical runtime, when using new high quality 9-volt alkaline batteries is 20 hours.

HOW CAN I MAXIMISE MY BATTERY LIFE?

  • Remove the batteries after use. This will help the batteries retain any internal charge and avoid leaking. Leaking batteries can also damage the internal electronics of your detector. This type of damage is not covered under warranty.
  • Avoid rapid extreme temperature swings.
  • When detecting avoid using the backlight. When the backlight is not switched on this can help maximise battery life.
  • Use 3.5mm (1/8”) headphones. Using the headphones will use less battery when compared to using the detector’s loudspeaker.

SHOULD I WASH MY X-TERRA VOYAGER DETECTOR AFTER USING IT AT THE BEACH?

It is good practice to clean your detector after each use. Only fresh water should be used when cleaning. Never use abrasives or solvents to clean the detector. The detection coil is waterproof and can be washed with the hose. The Screen pod should only be carefully wiped with a clean damp cloth to avoid any water or moisture ingress.

DO I NEED TO PUT GREASE ON THE DETECTOR BEFORE USING IN WATER?

No. It is not necessary to lubricate or grease any part of the detector. Using any petroleum-based grease can damage the plastics and void the warranty.

HOW DO I SWITCH THE AUDIO ON AND OFF?

To disable the audio tones, you simply need to push and hold the "minus" button when powering the PRO-FIND 40 on.
To enable the audio tones, you simply need to push and hold the "plus" button when powering the PRO-FIND 40 on.

HOW DO I SWITCH THE FERROUS TONES ON AND OFF?

To disable the ferrous tones OFF simply push and hold the "minus" button when the PRO-FIND 40 is powered on and then wait for the long beep.
To enable the ferrous tones ON simply push and hold the "plus" button when the PRO-FIND 40 is powered on and then wait for the long beep.

CAN I SWITCH THE LED FLASHLIGHT OFF?

No, the LED flashlight cannot be adjusted.

CAN I TOGGLE THE VIBRATION ON/OFF?

No, the vibration cannot be toggled ON/OFF.

WHEN SHOULD I USE THE RAPID RE-TUNE FEATURE?

The Rapid Re-tune feature was designed so that users do not have to power cycle the pin-pointers to re-tune the PRO-FIND to the environment.
To re-tune the PRO-FIND 40 simply short-press the power button when the PRO-FIND 40 is powered on.

WHAT ADVANTAGE DOES THE ADJUSTABLE SENSITIVITY HAVE?

At maximum Sensitivity the PRO-FIND 40 can detect targets at greater distances which can be both an advantage and a disadvantage. To pinpoint a target sometimes it’s better to have a less sensitive probe to reduce the search area, so we have given you the ability to adjust it how you see fit. The Sensitivity may also need to be reduced in mineralised or salty soils, so that you are only detecting metal and not the minerals in the ground.

AFTER CONTINUED DIGGING, AND DETECTING A TARGET, I DON’T FIND ANYTHING, WHY?

Side detection occurring with the target (or multiple) in the side of the hole. Use the tip of the probe to check around the sides of the hole. Reducing the Sensitivity can also help.

CAN I USE MY PROFIND 40 WHEN I’M GOLD PROSPECTING?

Yes, but be aware that the PRO-FIND 40 won’t have the same sensitivity to very small nuggets as a quality Minelab metal detector. It will be a good aid in target recovery for larger nuggets.

CAN I WASH MY PROFIND 40?

Yes, the PRO-FIND 40 is waterproof to 3 meters (10ft) and can be washed. When washing always use clean fresh water.

HOW DOES THE AUTO POWER OFF SYSTEM WORK?

If no targets are detected or buttons pressed for 5 minutes, then the PRO-FIND 40 will start a slow constant beep (Lost Alarm) this alarm will sound for 5 minutes and then the PRO-FIND 40 will power off to save battery life.

WHY IS MY PROFIND 40 NOT POWERING UP?

The battery may be flat or inserted incorrectly. Replace the battery and/or check the battery orientation. If you are still having issues, contact your closest Minelab Service Centre.

THE LIGHT COMES ON AND THERE ARE 2 BEEPS, BUT NO DETECTION OCCURS, WHY?

The PRO-FIND 40 has a 3rd beep that notifies you that the pin-pointer has calibrated to the environment. This can sometimes take up to 30 seconds to occur depending on environmental conditions. You can short press the power button to perform a rapid re-tune. You should then hear a confirmation beep and the PRO-FIND 40 should now detect metals.

GENERAL TIPS.

Tips for switching on:

  • Make sure there is no metal close to the probe.
  • Listen for the third beep (short) before trying to detect any metals.
  • If it has been a long time since the unit was last used(several days) or there has been significant temperature change since it’s last use, then it may take up to 30 seconds to calibrate.

*Calibration usually takes less than a second when the unit has been used recently.*

In highly mineralised soils:

  • You may need to use the rapid re-tune feature, particularly if the soil has variable mineralisation levels.
  • You might benefit by reducing the sensitivity to ensure smooth operation.

PRO-MENEMUKAN 15 & 35: BAGAIMANA SISTEM SISTEM OFF AUTO POWER OFF?

Sekiranya tiada sasaran dikesan atau butang ditekan selama beberapa minit, maka unit akan memulakan penggera yang hilang, ini akan berbunyi panjang sehingga anda dapat mencari pointer pin anda. Selepas beberapa minit penunjuk pin akan beralih untuk mengekalkan hayat bateri.

Ini membolehkan anda mencari unit jika ia ditinggalkan di tanah selepas menggali lubang. Bunyi tidak berlaku jika ia berada dalam mod hanya bergetar. Setelah 5 minit lambat berbunyi unit akan mematikan.

PRO-MENEMUKAN 15 & 35: MENGAPA UNIT SAYA TIDAK POWERING UP?

Bateri mungkin dimasukkan dengan cara yang salah jika tudung menyala, tetapi sukar untuk mengetatkan. Plastik yang ditekan menghalang tab bateri daripada menyentuh kenalan - putar bateri di sekitar untuk membetulkannya.

PRO-MENEMUKAN 15 & 35: ADA ADALAH SEPENUHNYA BEEPS, TETAPI TIDAK ADA KEPERLUAN, MENGAPA?

Setelah memutarkan Pro-Find pada anda akan mendengar 2 bunyi bip diikuti dengan bip penentukuran ketiga yang lebih pendek. Penentukuran ini kadang-kadang boleh mengambil masa 15-20 saat, sila tunggu kedatangan penentukuran ini terjadi sebelum meletakkan Pro-Find berhampiran objek logam mana-mana. Sekiranya anda mempunyai Pro-Find near metal apabila anda menukar ia tidak akan menentukur dan anda perlu memulakan semula Pro-Find.

PRO-MENEMUKKAN 15 & 35: SELEPAS DIGGING BERTANGGUNGJAWAB DAN MENETAP TARGET, saya TIDAK MENCARI SEGALA

Pengesanan sampingan yang berlaku dengan sasaran (atau berbilang) di sisi lubang. Gunakan hujung siasatan untuk memeriksa sisi lubang. Mengurangkan Sensitiviti juga boleh membantu.

PRO-MENEMUKKAN 15 & 35: BOLEH DAPAT DIGUNAKAN UNTUK MELAKUKAN?

Ya, tetapi perhatikan bahwa ia tidak akan memiliki kepekaan yang sama terhadap nuggets yang sangat kecil sebagai Pengesan Emas Minelab yang berkualiti. Ia akan menjadi bantuan yang baik dalam pemulihan sasaran untuk nuggets yang lebih besar.

PRO-MENEMUKAN 35: APAKAH KEUNTUNGAN ADALAH SENSITIVITI ADJUSTABLE MEMPUNYAI?

Pada sensitiviti maksimum, PRO-FIND 35 dapat mengesan sasaran pada jarak yang lebih besar yang boleh menjadi kelebihan dan kelemahan. Untuk menentukan sasaran kadang-kadang lebih baik untuk mendapatkan probe yang kurang sensitif untuk mengurangkan kawasan carian, jadi kami telah memberikan anda keupayaan untuk menyesuaikannya dengan cara yang anda lihat patut. Sensitiviti juga perlu dikurangkan dalam tanah mineral atau asin, sehingga anda hanya mengetuk logam dan bukan tanah.

PRO-MENEMUKAN 35: BOLEH AKU KIRI ITU?

PRO-FIND 35 benar-benar kalis air hingga 3 meter supaya anda dapat menenggelamkan penunjuk pin untuk membersihkannya. Pastikan penutup bateri telah diketatkan sepenuhnya sebelum menyematkan penunjuk pin.

PRO-MENEMUKAN 15: BOLEH AKU KIRIMKAN?

PRO-FIND 15 hanya tahan air. Jika anda menutup lubang speaker dengan ibu jari anda, anda boleh membasuhnya di bawah air yang mengalir.

PRO-MENEMUKAN 15 & 35: TIP UMUM

Petua untuk bertukar:

  • Pastikan tiada logam yang dekat dengan siasatan
  • Dengar bip ketiga (pendek) sebelum cuba mengesannya
  • Jika sudah lama sejak unit terakhir digunakan (beberapa hari) atau terdapat perubahan suhu yang ketara sejak penggunaannya terakhir, maka ia mungkin mengambil masa 15-20 saat untuk mengkalibrasi

Kalibrasi biasanya mengambil masa kurang dari satu saat unit digunakan baru-baru ini

Dalam tanah yang sangat mineralisasi:

  • Gunakan butang untuk mengurangkan kepekaan untuk menghentikan pencetus palsu

Hidupkan dan matikan audio (Pro-Cari 35 sahaja):

  • Tahan butang ditambah sambil menghidupkan unit untuk membolehkan nada audio
  • Tahan butang tolak sambil menghidupkan unit untuk mematikan nada audio

Nyalakan fonus dan matikan (Pro-Cari 35 sahaja):

  • Tahan butang ditambah selama 5 saat apabila unit itu menyambung nada ferus
  • Tahan butang minus selama 5 saat apabila unit tersebut mematikan nada ferus
