In order to use the device for a maximum long time and without problems, as well as to
be able to use all of its options, please read carefully the whole instruction manual and
observe the directions in it.
The standard set of Relicscan comprises:
- searching frame of 1x1m or 1,20x1,20m.
- control unit with built in accumulators;
- automatic charger for 220 V;
- detailed instruction manual for operation.

1. Assembling of the device:
Assembling the Relicscan is simple and you don’t need any special tools.
When use the round coil 14” (36cm.) or 18” (45cm.): The bearing rod is assembled by
inserting of the lower part into the upper one. Choose the desired length of the whole
construction and the fixing clamp is tightened between both parts of the bearing rod. The
2

lower part of the bearing rod is put with the opening between the ears of the coil and the
plastic bolt is tightened by choosing the position of the coil to be parallel to the ground
surface. Don't over-tighten the plastic bolt and nut to not damage the threading of the bolt!
The coil cable is wind up tightly around the bearing rod and is switched to the terminal of the
monitor unit. Upon switching of the cable of the coil to the monitor unit, tighten the well the
metal nut of the coupling to the terminal of the box. Upon switching off, unscrew the nut
completely and pull out the coupling without pulling or twisting the cable of the coil. This way,
you will prevent the cable and the conductors in it from breakdown or short circuit. Fi na ll y
ad ju st s ea rc h co il an gl e to y ou r pr eference an d yo u ar e rea dy .
NOTE: Do not allow the cable to flop loosely over the search coil. Since the detector is
sensitive enough to „see“ the tiny wires in the cable, a floppy cable can cause false
signals as the search coil senses the moving wires.
When use the search frames 1x1m. or bigger: The search frame should be held
approximately 4 to 6 inch (10 to 15cm.) to ground surface while searching. Do not allow
one end of the frame to be higher than the other. Make sure that no large metal objects are
close to the search frame for initial adjustment. Also, check your shoes or boots since most of
them contain metal parts and you would receive a signal response any time you step near to
the coil.
In order to avoid interference of the metal parts of the electronic unit, be sure to carry the
Relicscan on the side of your body that is away from the search frame.
1. Turn on the detector:
Searching frame is assembled and is placed on the ground paying attention to the range and
there don't have to be any metal objects.
Turn on the detector by rotating “THRESHOLD” knob clockwise to "ON" position and you will
see on the 2nd row on the display „ALL METAL“ or „DISC“, depending on the position of the
switch “ AL L ME T AL / DISC” .
1st row of the display is graphical indicator of the level for more comfortable tracking of the
changes in the signal, a ls o indicat or o f th e st at e of batt er y.
