Pinpointing In Non-Motion Mode; Cleaning And Storage - Velleman CS400 Bedienungsanleitung

the detector beeps once but does not repeat the signal with several additional sweeps over the same
spot, there is probably no target present.
When searching trashy soils, it is best to scan small areas with slow and short sweeps. You will be
surprised just how much trash and foil you will find in some areas. The trashiest areas have been
frequented by most people and frequently hold the promise for finding the most lost valuables.
10.4 Ground Balancing
Before using the ALL-METAL mode, it is necessary to ground
balance your detector. This ground balancing adjustment offsets
the effects of minerals and salts in the ground. To do so:
1. Select the ALL-METAL mode and find a patch of ground,
which is free of metal objects.
2. Lift the search coil waist-high in the air.
3. Turn the GND BAL button in the P position.
4. Press the GND TRAC button.
5. Slowly lower the search coil maintaining it elevated about 1
to 1.5 cm above the ground. If the detector emits a sound,
repeat steps 3 and 4, and adjust the GND BAL button in
small increments. If the detector remains silent, no further
adjustment is necessary.
As your hunt takes you to different areas, verify the ground balance setting periodically using the above
procedure. Ground conditions can vary within a geographical area due to water, rocks, sand or clay.

10.5 Pinpointing in Non-Motion Mode

The coil-sweeping technique is not important in this mode. However, user retuning is critical. The
detector does not automatically adjust to changing ground and environmental conditions. The operator is
required to make the adjustment.
Retuning
Make sure that the spot you choose for tuning does not contain metal. Keep the coil still, just above the
ground. Pass over the area with the coil to ensure that the detector does not emit a tone.
Detection Field
The detection field depends on the size of the target.
Large Objects
After detecting a target, the LCD display shows the sensitivity level while the detector emits a tone. If,
when lifting the search coil about 2 cm above the ground, the tone does not fade, you have detected a
large or irregularly shaped object. Slightly lift the search coil and outline the target with slow coil
movements at the same height.
Small Objects
After detecting a target, the LCD display shows a low sensitivity level while the detector emits a faint
tone. Move the search coil from side to side while maintaining it at the same height. Note the spot where
the tone is loudest and the sensitivity level is largest. Then, move the coil towards the ground to zero in
on the target's location. A coin-size object will be detected when the object enters the range of the inner
coil.

Cleaning and Storage


The life of your detector is shortened by neglect or careless use. Wipe the housing with a damp cloth
and then wipe it dry carefully if you have used the detector in a hostile environment (salty water,
sand, etc.).

Do not clean the detector with solvents or detergents.

The search coil is waterproof and can be submerged in either fresh or salt water. However, do not let
water enter the control box. Rinse the search coil with fresh water after using in salt water.
Salt damage

Salty air can penetrate the control box in case of frequent use in a salty environment. Parts of the
electronic circuitry may corrode. You can protect your metal detector by covering the control box
with polythene. The warranty does not cover damage caused by salty environments.
