Batteries and Charger

The TDI-SL includes a rechargeable NiMH battery pack as the primary power source, and a standard alkaline battery pack as a backup. Fully charged, they supply a nominal 12 volts (the NiMH may be slightly less) and will power the TDI-SL for about 4-5 hours. The TDI will operate until the batteries drop to about 8.5 volts, at which point the low battery LED will turn on.
A drop-in charging cradle (Part Number 509-0036) is used for recharging the NiMH battery. With the wall transformer connected to the cradle and plugged into a wall socket, simply drop the NiMH pack into the cradle. An LED indicates the sta­tus of the charge cycle; when the LED turns off, the charge cycle is complete and the charger will automatically switch to a trickle mode. A typical recharge time of a depleted NiMH pack is 1-2 hours. It is normal for NiMH batteries in storage to slowly lose their charge over time; be sure to top off them off before going out.
The alkaline pack is designed so that it cannot be used with the charger, and trying to recharge alkaline batteries can cause them to burst and leak. Individual NiMH batteries can be used in the alkaline tray; it is recommended that the batteries be removed and charged using the manufacturer’s charging sys­tem.

QuickStart

1. Set the Conductivity switch to ALL.
2. Set the Frequency offset to the midpoint.
3. Set the Ground Balance to ~8.
4. Turn on the power and adjust the Gain to “2.”
5. Adjust the Threshold to achieve a faint background hum.
6. With the coil on the ground (no motion) increase the Gain
until the audio begins to chatter. Back off slightly for a rea­sonably smooth threshold.
7. Optional: adjust the Frequency offset to minimize the
amount of chatter.
8. Using a spot free of targets, bob the coil up & down and
adjust the Ground Balance control to minimize the audio response.
9. For most nugget hunting, set the Conductivity switch to
LOW.

Principles of Pulse Induction

Pulse induction (PI) detectors are very different from tradi­tional induction-balance (VLF) designs. Instead of transmitting a continuous-wave magnetic field, the PI detector periodically transmits brief impulses of magnetic energy. The PI receiver then looks at the impulse decay for target (and ground) informa­tion.
The use of high-powered impulses results in better ground penetration than VLF, especially in highly mineralized soil. This makes the PI detector the best choice for certain kinds of hunting in bad ground where many VLFs simply won’t work.
There is no traditional discriminator in PI detectors, although there is some ability to discern certain types of metals. The decay response varies with target conductivity (plus other characteristics) so that low conductive targets have a fast decay and high conductive targets have a slow decay:
The Pulse Delay control, which determines the point where the decay is sampled, can be used to eliminate low conductive targets such as thin foil. Further increasing the delay can knock

Owner’s Manual
out other minor trash targets at the expense of eliminating potentially good targets such as jewelry, but this method is very limited in the range of trash targets that are rejected.
Furthermore, the ground balancing method used by TDI has
a side affect with target responses. Target conductivities below the ground balance point produce a positive response for which TDI assigns a high tone. These targets are generally low con­ductive such as small nuggets, jewelry, and small iron. Target conductivities above the ground balance point produce a nega­tive response for which TDI assigns a low tone. These targets are generally high conductive such as silver coins, relics, and large iron.
The Target Conductivity switch can be used to eliminate either class of targets, or to accept them all. Care should be used with this feature as it is not always obvious as to how a target might respond. Testing with known targets is the best way to learn the responses, both with delay settings and conductivity mode.

Controls

Threshold

The Threshold control sets the level at which the background audio tone is heard. In most cases, faint target sig­nals are easiest to hear when the thresh­old is set to a low but clearly audible level. A higher threshold level can result in audio fatigue. Too low of a threshold level means that a stronger target signal is required to produce an audible change. Thresh-
old
is best determined at a low gain setting where there is no
chatter.
The threshold can be set low enough to effect a “silent search” audio. Some people prefer silent search to prevent audio fatigue. If you choose to do this, increase the threshold to the point where you can hear the threshold tone, then slowly back off until it is barely inaudible. Reducing the threshold any more than necessary requires stronger target signals to produce an audio response. Other controls — including Gain, Ground
Balance
audible threshold.
, and Frequency offset — are best adjusted with an

Power/Gain

The Gain control increases or decreases the amplification of the receive signal. Normally, this deter­mines how deep the detector will “see” a target.
However, increasing the gain not only increases the amplification of tar­get signals, but also that of ground signals and electromagnetic interference (EMI) as well. A common mistake is to assume
Page 9
that higher gain will always give better depth. In air tests this is generally true, but ground results can depend on the amount and type of mineralization.
With the coil on the ground, increase the gain until the
detector exhibits chatter, then back off slightly for a reasonably steady threshold tone. Use the Frequency offset control to help deal with EMI-related chatter, and proper ground balancing will minimize chatter due to mineralization.
The Gain control is also used to turn the detector on and off.

Pulse Delay

TDI transmits a pulse and then,
after a short time delay, samples the received signal. Pulse Delay allows this time delay to be adjusted from 10s (microseconds) to 25s.
In response to a transmitted
impulse, all targets exhibit a response with an exponential decay. Regardless of conductivity, the response is strongest at low sample delays and weaker at higher delays. However, targets of low conductivity or that are thin will decay faster than highly conductive or thick targets. See the Principles of Pulse Induction section for more details.
Owner’s Manual
Smaller gold nuggets fall in the former category, so nugget
hunters will want the Pulse Delay set as low as possible. Coin or relic hunters may want to increase the delay to knock out thin foil trash and still detect desirable targets. Most iron (especially larger) responds with a long decay and is usually not very responsive to the delay setting.
Conductive salts also respond with a fast decay and can be
detected at low delay settings. If beach hunting in wet salt sand, you may need to turn the delay up to 15s to eliminate the salt response. Dry salt is usually not a problem, so as you move out of the wet sand into dry sand remember to turn the delay back down to better detect small jewelry items.
Page 10
TDI SL
Pulse Delay affects the ground balance point, so whenever
Owner’s Manual
the delay is changed the ground balance should also be checked and re-adjusted. Higher pulse delays require a lower ground balance setting.

Target Conductivity

The Target Conductivity switch allows you to select between high-only, low-only, or all target responses (see the Principles of Pulse Induction sec­tion for details). There are two caveats with this switch. First, the two-tone response, and therefore the functional­ity of this switch, are disabled when ground balance knob is turned to the OFF position. Second, in order to ground balance the TDI this switch must be set to the ALL position.
Be aware that target conductivities can vary considerably, even targets of the same metal. Small gold nuggets are usually low and large gold nuggets are usually high, but where the tran­sition occurs depends on the composition of the gold alloy. Be mindful that searching in low-conductivity mode could elimi-
nate very large nuggets, if any happen to be in the area1.
The same is true for relics and jewelry. Many bullets, but­tons, and most buckles register as high conductors, but cuff but­tons often respond as low conductors. Most small jewelry responds as low conductors, but larger men’s rings can easily fall in the high-conductive range. Most coins fall in the high range, except for e.g. US nickels and small or thin coins like hammered silvers or very small bronze coins.
1. The potential for Very Large Nuggets depends on where you are detecting. In most gold-bearing regions of the US, detectable gold is found as small placer nuggets up to multiple grams in size which register as low conductive targets. Alaskan and Aus­tralian gold is still being found in multiple ounce-sized nuggets, which may respond as a high conductive target.

Ground Balance

This control is used to balance out the signal from ground mineralization. There is an OFF position for which TDI runs in straight PI mode with no ground balance.
To ground balance TDI the Targ et
Conductivity
control must be set to ALL in order to hear both conductivity tones. Set the Gain to about the mid-point or until the audio just begins to chatter. Pump the search coil up and down from about one inch off the ground up to 6-8 inches above the ground while listening for a change in the audio. If the GB is too low, the audio will have a high tone when the coil is lowered to the ground; if the GB is too high, the audio will have a low tone. Adjust the Ground Balance control for min­imal audio changes. For most moderate mineralization, this will be around “8”. A simple technique is to start with the GB set intentionally too low (say, 5), then pump the coil and increase the GB until the high tone begins to transition to a low tone.
If the Pulse Delay control is changed, you will probably need to re-adjust the Ground Balance setting. In addition, if you begin to hear ground noises (false signals) as you sweep the coil you should check the ground balance.
There are some cases where a particular target will fall exactly on top of the ground balance point and TDI will not be able to detect it at all. Targets that are close to the ground bal­ance point may have their response shifted if the Ground Bal-
ance
control is adjusted. For example, a given target may have a low conductor response with GB=9 but a high conductor response at GB=5.
Turning the Ground Balance to the OFF position disables the ground balance and TDI will run as a straight PI detector. This gives a slight improvement in depth but, of course, will respond to mineralization and eliminates the ability to discern conductivities.

TDI SL

Frequency

This control makes small adjust­ments to the transmitter pulse rate. This is used to counteract any interference which might be due to outside electro­magnetic sources, such as radio sta­tions, microwave, short wave, electric fences, power lines, lightening, electri­cal storms, or other metal detectors being used nearby. This interference is recognized by a warbling or repetitive pulsing of the audio threshold, and can mask target signals.
If you are experiencing interference, adjust the Frequency control for minimal chatter. Adjustments should be done in small steps, with a few seconds between each adjustment to see if the TDI settles down. If you cannot deal with interference with the Frequency control, then reduce the Gain and/or Thresh-
old
settings to obtain a reasonably stable operating point.

TDI In Depth

Ground Balancing

One of the key features of TDI is its ability to balance out
ground mineralization while maintaining pulse induction depths. This is achieved using a differential technique whereby two decay samples are compared; the Ground Balance control is adjusted until the two samples have the same response, thereby canceling the ground signal.
Targets below the GB point produce an overall positive
response, and targets above the GB point produce an overall negative response. Broadly, the two ranges of targets depend on conductivity, which gives TDI some ability to discriminate. In rare cases a target might fall so close to the GB point that it gives either no response at all or a double-tone response.
Because ground balance is achieved using a subtraction
method, there is a slight loss of depth any time ground balance is on. Some ground, notably neutral beach sand, is mild enough that no ground balance is needed. In such cases, Ground Bal-
ance
can be switched off and TDI will run in straight PI mode. This will slightly improve depth, but loses the ability to distin­guish between low and high conductivity targets.

Target Conductivity = ALL
Owner’s Manual
With Ground Balance = On and Conductivity Mode = All, all tar- gets will give an audio response, either a high or low tone. New users are encouraged to use this setup and practice with various targets to learn their audio responses. A US nickel or small gold nugget works well for a low conductive target, and a US quarter makes a good high conductive target. TDI is a motion detector, so target responses depend on the motion of the coil. If you hold the coil steady over a target, the audio response will fade back to the threshold tone.
In some cases there is not enough mineralization to require
ground balancing (e.g. non-mineralized beaches), and Ground
Balance
may be turned off. In this mode the audio response is
high for all targets.
In cases where you have determined that you definitely need only one of the conductivity modes and not the other, you will often find that switching to that mode reduces the amount of audio noise (chatter) and allows you to run a higher gain. To better illustrate this, let’s use a strictly inaccurate but useful dia­gram. The following is a representation of the audio response, including a low conductor response, a high conductor response, and random noise:
The ideal no-noise response is what you would get if you dis­connect the search coil. With Target Conductivity = All, any- thing above the ideal response will have a high tone and anything below the ideal response will have a low tone. If there is a lot of EMI or the Gain is set aggressively high this can result in a lot of audio chatter.
Page 15
Target Conductivity = HIGH
Target Conductivity = LOW
Owner’s Manual
Setting the Target Conductivity to either Low or High will cut
out half of the response, as shown in the next diagrams. The
noise, which tends to be equally distributed between the high and low tones, is cut in half. However, you also lose one of the conductivities. If you know you primarily want to hunt small to medium nuggets or fine jewelry, then you will not lose much running in the Low mode. If you primarily want to hunt coins or relics, then you will not lose much running in the High mode. Be mindful that “All” is required for ground balancing, because that is the only mode that gives you both tones.
Threshold also has an effect on how much noise gets
through to the audio. A moderate threshold lets some of the noise through (anything in the gray region is suppressed):
In this case you will hear a moderate amount of chatter, depend­ing on the Gain setting. Weak target signals may come through but may be indistinguishable from noise.
Page 16
TDI SL
A lower threshold makes the TDI quieter and less chattery but also requires a stronger target signal to produce a tonal response:
A lower threshold can be played off against a higher Gain set­ting, although you may find that the net outcome is about the same.
Setting the threshold exceptionally low can result in a “silent search” audio, whereby there is no audio sound until a target is detected:
Owner’s Manual
The drawback is that sensitivity can be markedly reduced and weaker targets completely eliminated. However, Gain can be increased to counter this, though the net result is still likely to be less sensitivity than an optimally adjusted threshold.

Pulse Delay

Sampling as close as possible to the end of the transmitted pulse gives the highest sensitivity to all metal targets regardless of their size or conductivity. As the Pulse Delay is increased toward 25s low-conductive targets will drop out, leaving only the more high-conductive targets.
Conductivity is not the only factor that determines how tar­gets respond; size, thickness, and shape also have a strong influ-
Page 17
Owner’s Manual
ence. Sub-gram gold nuggets are often only detectable at the lowest delay setting while larger nuggets, even of the same alloy, can be detected at higher delay settings. This is largely due to skin effect, whereby the response of small thin targets dissipates quickly.
A good exercise is to experiment with different targets at
different Pulse Delay settings. This is best done with the Ground
Balance
switched off so that all targets sound the same (no two­tone response) and the sensitivity to the target can be more eas­ily observed. After you determine how the Pulse Delay affects the signal, you can try the same tests with the Ground Balance turned on and the Target Conductivity to All to see whether the target produces a high tone or a low tone. You can then choose
Low or High to eliminate or accept a target.
In some soils the minimum pulse delay cannot be used. Notably wet salt soil (such as a saltwater surf zone) behaves like a low-conductor target and will respond regardless of the
Ground Balance setting. Increasing the Pulse Delay to about
15s will eliminate wet salt response. However, as you move out of the surf zone onto dry sand remember you can reduce the
Pulse Delay to maximize sensitivity as dry salt sand does not
cause a problem. Areas with high concentrations of black sand may also require an increase in the Pulse Delay.
Any changes to the Pulse Delay setting affects the ground balance point so the TDI will need to be re-balanced.

Dual Field Coil

With any metal detector, the size of the search coil presents a trade-off between depth and sensitivity. A larger coil offers better depth on larger targets at the expense of small-target sen­sitivity, and a smaller coil has better sensitivity to small targets, but at a lesser depth.
Detectable gold nuggets can range from several grains to multiple ounces, so a coil that offers both depth and sensitivity would be ideal. TDI uses a patented dual field (DF) coil which
Page 18
TDI SL
literally gives you two different size coils running simultane-
ously: a larger outer coil for large target depth, and a smaller
inner coil for small target sensitivity. As such, even the 12” DF
coil, with its 6” inner coil, can pick up nuggets of only a few
grains. The 7” DF coil, with its 3.5” inner coil, is even better at
picking up grain-sized nuggets, with little compromise on large
target depth.
Proper sweep technique is important with any detector, and the DF coil adds a slight twist. Round coils tend to have a coni­cal pattern of sensitivity as illustrated below. As such, coverage at maximum depth is less than the size of the coil, so it is always recommended that successive sweeps are overlapped by about 50%.
Owner’s Manual
The DF coil has an additional inner coil which has its own conical detection pattern. Since this coil is most sensitive to shallower tiny targets that the larger coil may miss, in order to get the best ground coverage on these targets it is recommended that the 50% overlap be applied to the inner coil, as illustrated below.
Page 19
Wrong Right
Besides overlapping each sweep, it is important to keep the
coil close and parallel to the ground. Pendulum-swinging the coil results in loss of depth, and if the ground balance isn’t per­fectly set the variation in loop height will create a ground response. The following illustration shows improper and proper coil sweep motion.
Owner’s Manual

Dealing with Noise

Because PI detectors have wideband receivers they are
more prone to noise and interference than narrowband VLF designs. There are a few strategies for dealing with noise. First, TDI has a Frequency Offset control that slightly adjusts the overall pulse rate. With the Threshold and Gain turned up to the point of mild chatter, make very small incremental adjustments to the Frequency control to minimize the chatter.
Some sources of noise cannot be dealt with electronically,
such as electric fences. Try to identify the noise source and dis­able it. Indoor testing is notoriously difficult to do with PI
Page 20
TDI SL
detectors due to the overwhelming number of EMI sources. If you cannot minimize noise with the Frequency control, then turning down the Gain or Threshold is your best bet. Excessive chatter will easily mask targets, plus results in audio fatigue. It is better to trade off sensitivity for smooth audio so you can hear the targets.
