a "STINGER" is an impulse metal detector with an LCD – Display, digital and graphical
presentation of the level of signal and parameters of discrimination and working modes, as
well as of the state of temperature of the storage battery;
a Fully automatic balance to ground conditions with memorizing and adapting to the
level and parameters of the background of soil and their elimination by the general
signal.
a Reporting of the influence of earth magnetic field and its isolation from the general signal
a Reporting of side disturbances and their full elimination during work
a Possibility for work in premises and in proximity to electric networks – full suppression of
50 Нz disturbances.
a 10 regimes of work - 5 dynamic and 5 static - for correct localization of the object.
a General mode of work for all metals.
a Three modes of discrimination - 1 for normal soil, 1 for soil with high mineralization, and 1
for high mineralized soils with changing background within wide ranges + outer disturbances.
a Choice of 2 types of sound indication - VCO (multi – frequency one) or two-tonal
indication, low tone for magnetic and high tone for non – magnetic (non - ferrous metals).
a Built – in storage battery, providing 10-20 hours of constant work depending on chosen
power
a Regulation of the power of emitted impulses
a Automatic charge of the battery – measuring of charged capacity and tracking of
temperature during charging;
a Tracking of the capacity of the storage battery and automatic signal and turning off at
achieving of a critical minimum.
a Possibility for setting of over 30 working and service parameters providing comfortable
and effective work under various conditions of work.
a Possibility for quick and easy access to all settings in the menu;
a All these possibilities allow „STINGER“ to work perfectly under any ground conditions,
including at high mineralized and polluted sites!
„STINGER“ has the following parts for control:
Switcher "ON – OFF" for turning on and turning off
Buttons "SELECT", "◄ and ►" serve for work with the menu and the settings, selecting of
a mode of discrimination and motion.
Button "CLEAR GND" – serves for automatic setting of the device to ground conditions
of terrain where it works.
Button "MODE" — used at the modes of discrimination and serves for momentary switching
into „ALL METALS" mode for precise localization of object without losing of the value of
memorized balance to the ground in the discrimination modes, as well as for balancing to

the conditions of the soil through pressing and holding of the "MODE" and momentary
pressing of "CLEAR GND"
- Button "DISCR" – serves for turning on and off of the discrimination modes.
1. Setting and way of work:
Seeking frame is assembled and is placed on the ground paying attention to the range and
there don't have to be any metal objects.
The cable is sub - connected to the device. The device is turned on by "ON – OFF" and
you see „Start Detector“ on the display. Nullification starts and balancing to ground
conditions during which time the display shows "CLEAR" and you can hear a single
sound. This lasts for 3 – 4 sec., then it is followed by a double short sound and the
device is turned on in general mode of "ALL METALS". If you wish to work in a mode of discrimination
"DISCR", the you have to push the button "DISCR", at which the device is switched into
discrimination mode and the display shows "DISCR.1". Its next pushing switches again the
device into "ALL METALS" mode.
2. Working with the device in "ALL METALS" mode
In this mode the display shows "ALL METALS". Constantly shown aer the level of signal
in graphical and digital look, the capacity of the storage battery, chosen power, the level
of co – working of the sound and the working mode, as follows:
- 1st row to the right – capacity of the battery in percent: 0%-100%
- 2nd row to the right – chosen profile of work - "prf1" or "prf2". At both profiles the device
works with different impulse power - "prf1" – reduced, or "prf2" – full power.
- 3rd row to the right – threshold of sound, level after passing of which a sound appears
- 4th row to the right – the level of signal from the registered metal in figures – from 0 –
400. If there is signal of metal within the range of the coil, disturbances or influence by
soil, upon pressing of "CLEAR GND" indication will become "0". After removal of the
source of the signal from the coil range, indication will become of negative value. In order
to be nullified, you have to push again "CLEAR GND". Upon pushing and holding of
"CLEAR GND" for more than 4 sec the devices is restarted.
The device can work in 10 modes of speed of seeking – 5 static (for precise
localization of object) - "FIX0"- "FIX4", and 5 dynamic (for seeking with motion) – "MOV0"
– "MOV4".

"FIX“ are static modes of seeking, i. e., the device constantly reacts to a metal
located within the range of the coil. They are suitable for localization of the exact place of
an already fixed metal, and one may constantly work in this mode. Fastest one is the
"FIX0" mode, and slowest one is "FIX4".
"MOV" are dynamic modes of work with a various speed of seeking. The
difference among these modes is in the time for automatic nullification of appeared
signals, i. e. the device is constantly set additionally, but with a various speed at
individual modes. Fastest one is the "MOV0" mode, and "MOV4" is slowest among the
dynamic modes. At these modes the device reacts to metal objects within the range of
the antenna only at motion of the antenna above them.
On the 2nd and 4th row of the display to the left graphical indicators are depicted of
the level for more comfortable tracking of the changes in the signal. Indicators can show
positive or negative levels respectively increasing to the right or to the left from the
dividing zero point of each of them.
The indicator on the 2nd row is indicator of the momentary signal. At a "FIX" mode
it repeats the indicator of the general signal. In "MOV" mode it only shows the change in
the signal.
The indicator on the 4th row is an indicator of the general signal. It shows the
summary signal of the coil without processing.
Normally, both indicators show positive values at a presence of a signal, after its
disappearance they show "0" or hesitate (-1...0...+1).
Should within the coil range there falls in a metal object, it provokes a signal which
is depicted on the 2nd level of the indicator and of the digital indication of the signal.
Should this signal is louder than the chosen threshold of the sound "tr_A", a sound is
heard with a frequency which depends on the level of the signal. The more louder the
signal, the more higher the sound frequency.
Should the general signal becomes higher than "90", level indicators show
">>>>>>>>", and the digital indication continues to track the increase, the sound is also
changed. If the level of overfill is achieved, he sound is changed to a very loud signal
tone, and „OVERFLOW“ appears on the 4th row of the display.
3. Setting of working parameters in "ALL METALS" mode:
setting of the threshold of co – working of the sound "tr_A" – this is the level of signal
after passing of which a sound is heard. The device may be set at such strength of signal
to react with sound. This is done with change in the parameter "tr_A". For this purpose
the arrow is moved through "SELECT" to be against „tr_A" and through the buttons "◄
