CONGRATULATIONS ON PURCHASING AN XP METAL DETECTOR
AND WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF RESEARCH AND
EXPLORATION!
You have invested in a high tech detector with extreme performance, designed and
developed in France. Therefore, you are taking part in the development of the
research in the field of metal detecting undertaken by our company, we thank you
for that.
Goldmaxx Power is an exceptional detector to find small targets in
difficult type of soil (mineralized*).
Its frequency (18 kHz), makes it a very sensitive to targets that are
usually very difficult to detect, like hammered coins, gold nuggets,
minims and all other small objects.
The development of the Goldmaxx, Goldmaxx Power has led to the
inclusion of a new circuit board with specially optimised specifications.
This new powerful circuit board combining performance and choice –
two aspects which are usually very difficult to bring together.
✓ Faster target detection through the use of new, more
discriminating analogue filters. It will therefore be easier for
you to locate targets in iron infested areas.
✓ The transmitter of XP wireless headphones is integrated on
your detector's circuit board. You can therefore use your
optional XP wireless headphones.
✓ The IRON THRESHOLD potentiometer enables you to adjust the
iron level setting threshold to a low tone.
✓ The new FREQ. SHIFT switch gives you the option of choosing
between two working channels for XP wireless headphones –
channel 1 or channel 2 – and between two detection frequencies
– Freq 1 or Freq 2 – for your detector. You can then search for
targets in the same area as another XP detector without any
interference issues.
With the Goldmaxx Power you will find more than gold !

You will find it much easier to adjust the controls to optimise your search
technique to the type of area you are searching in, thanks to the MultiTone mode with setting of the low tone (IRON LEVEL) and the rocker
threshold.
We chose instantaneous sound signalling, rather than an LCD display
because of the extraordinary ability of the human ear to analyse
compared to an LCD display.
LCD displays cannot respond in real time and do not capture weak signals
that are too brief or too close to other signals
Goldmaxx Power sound signalling provides real-time output of
the most imperceptible signal.
Goldmaxx Power is fitted with a DD 9” (22.5cm) carbon fibre search
head with a more robust coil cover.
Our high sensibility "double D" search coils, provide very good ground
penetration.
The optional elliptical 5” x 10” search coil will improve the selectivity on
iron infested areas, this is the best complementary coil for the Goldmaxx
Power.
The Goldmaxx Power search heads are not compatible
with those of other XP detectors
due to their specific frequency (18kHz).

You will appreciate the sturdiness and manufacturing quality of our
equipment. Because a metal detector is generally used in extreme
conditions, we have given full attention to the most sensitive parts.
Goldmaxx Power has been developed and manufactured with quality
components and material, thus ensuring your XP detector a maximum
useful life.
• Connector XP : designed to resist movement failures,
moulded, completely waterproof, gold contacts (30 µ gold
plated)
• New Cable, double electromagnetic shield, very resistant,
designed to resist movement failures.
• Robust, waterproof and lightened search coil,
• Very tough polypropylene armrest,
• Telescopic stem, stored away instantly and easier handled
• Fibreglass impregnated lower stem.
• Provided with Hipmount bag/control box cover, backphone
and coil cover.
GOLDMAXX Power
Is a high performance detector specially designed
to give you greater ease of use.
Before using your detector for the first time, we
recommend that you read this instruction manual
carefully in order to make full use of its abilities.
* We use the term “mineralized” soil to refer to soil that is naturally iron infested or has
become infested due to intense human occupancy (ferrous debris or pottery). The term
does not include seawater (salt water) , which is not magnetic but is conductive.

The assembly of your detector will only take
you a few seconds.
Put the shaft together as shown on the diagram.
• Put the rubber washers on the side of the
fibreglass tube (1).
• Insert the fibreglass tube on the search head (2).
• Insert the new coil fixing parts as shown on the
diagram and screw (3).
The electronic box of your detector can be positioned in 2 different ways:
Option 1 : Under the armrest
To fix it, insert the 2 wings of the armrest in the slides of the electronic control
unit, as indicated on the diagram.
Once the control
box in place
under the armrest, wind the cable
around the telescopic shaft as
indicated on the photo.
Use the 2 pieces of Velcro® (A and
B) to keep the cable in a spiral
position.
Insert now the
connector (female)
in its panel
connector (male),
screw it, the
connector is now
watertight.

To hold the cable along the telescopic stem you can use Velcro® strip as
shown on the photo below(C & D).
Option 2 : Electronic box hipmounted
Insert the control box into the hipmount bag.
Then insert the connector (female) in its panel
connector (male) and screw it.
Removal of control box
To remove the control box from the armrest, proceed
as indicated below.
Put your hands around the control box and press slightly
with your thumbs on the side of the armrest (1).
Whilst you keep the pressure on, slip the armrest off,
and remove completely the control box from the
armrest (2).
The hipmount bag provided with your detector can allow you to
protect your detector from rain when the electronic box is fixed on
the armrest.

ALKALINE BATTERIES____________________________
GOLDMAXX Power powered with 12 volts from 8 AA Alkaline battery using
2 battery holders, 4 batteries in each.
Pay close attention to the battery ± polarity
before inserting the batteries holders in the
electronic box.
The metal rivets (3) of the batteries holder must
be on the right (-). Screw the nuts 1 and 2 to
close the batteries lid, not toot tight.
If you are not using the detector for more than a month,
remove the alkaline batteries from the detector.
BATTERIES
NIMH__________________________________
To power your detector you can use rechargeable battery.
The insertion of the rechargeable battery is similar to the Alkaline
batteries.
Recharging the batteries can be done in a very simple way:
Always turn off the detector before recharging batteries. Remove
the search coil connector from the control box and insert the
charger instead. 12 to 18 hours are necessary to have a full
recharge.
Avoid leaving the batteries recharging for more than 20
hours.
WARNING! Before inserting your charger, check that you are not
recharging alkaline batteries.
