TERMS TO KNOW

5baksov.com.ua

The terms below are standard words found within this manual and the
detector.

DISCRIMINATION

Discriminating allows you to choose the metals you want to detect and
the ones you want to “eliminate” or not look for. Discrimination makes it
easier to avoid trash or other undesirable objects. Once it detects a metal
it will categorize it to one of the metals you chose to detect for.

IRON

Iron is the most common metal used. It has been used since ancient times
because of how abundant it is. Ferrous metals are made up of iron. Ob­jects that are ferrous metals are; nails, bolts, stainless steel and cast iron.

PINPOINT

A narrow detection that tells you the exact location of the object that
is buried.

PULL-TABS

Also known as “pop tops.” Discarded pull-tabs come from beverage cans.
They can be all dierent shapes and sizes. They are primarily made of alu­minum, which can be bothersome to many treasure hunters.

GROUND GRAB

All soils contain minerals. Signals from ground minerals interfere with the
signals from metal objects. If metal is detected in this mode it will make
a sound. It doesn’t detect any of earth’s natural minerals so you can get a
more accurate reading on what you nd.

TWO DIGIT IDENTIFIER

The two digit number identies the buried obect with a specic number
to give you a more accurate idea of what you have found. With each pass
over the object, the distance between the object and the coil, and the
angle of the coil can change the two digit number.

ASSEMBLY

1

Assembling the coil unit

Unscrew the bracket from the bottom rod.
Fit the bottom rod inside the coil and re­place the bracket. Then tighten but do not
over tighten. NOTE: The large hole faces
down. This is where the cable will enter the
rod.

2

Connect The Rods

Connect the Top Rod to the Bottom Rod
by sliding the Top Rod with the Locking
Bracket end down. Note: The groove on the
Top Rod needs to face away from you. Align
grooves to one another to ensure rods stay
in place.
Slide the Top Rod to the desired length and
tighten the Locking Bracket by turning it to the Left.

3

Connecting the Wiring

Take the Cable Pull and
place it down the Rods.
Screw the end of the Cable
Pull to the end of the wire.
Place the connector in the
opening. Then pull the
hoop at the top to pull the
cable through the rods.

4

Connecting the Handle Unit

Disconnect the Cable Pull and connect the
wire head to the handles cable. Be careful
to align the white indicator arrow on the
wire head with the alignment arrow on the
handle units cable head to ensure proper
connection.
NOTE: Screw the silver piece to ensure the
cable is locked in place.

ASSEMBLY

Batteries

After the wire is locked in place, check
the handle unit to ensure the latch is in
unlocked. Then place the rod all the way
back into the handle unit and pull the
latch to lock the rod into place. Make
sure everything is secured into place
before use.

5

Adjusting the display

To adjust the display, tilt the display for­ward or back to your desired placement.
It should stay throughout use. The dis­play may need additional adjustment in
very bright or very dark environments.

To open the Battery Compartment

1

door, unscrew the the two screws. Pull
the door towards you and up to take the
door o.

Insert 6 AA batteries according to the

2

markings within the compartment. Cau­tion: Never mix old and new batteries. Nev­er mix alkaline, carbon-zinc or recharge­able batteries.

Place the battery compartment back and

3

screw in the screws.

The Category Value accurately provides specic categories to help identify a
buried object. Coins will most likely have a similar value with each pass with the
coil due to their round shape. Gold and silver can actually be detected in various
category values due to their metallic qualities. Smaller gold or silver objects will
have a dierent value than larger gold or silver objects. Trash objects can give
o a dierent value each time you pass over it. The angle of the detector can
aect the identication of an object as well. If you decide to test the detector
by waving a coin over the coil, wave it with the at side parallel to the coil; this
position is how you will nd most buried coins.
