Understanding Search Modes
The Equinox 800 features multiple search modes optimized for different detecting conditions:
- Park: Ideali għal żoni b'ħafna żibel bħal parks u spazji pubbliċi.
- Qasam: Suitable for open fields and general detecting.
- Bajja: Ottimizzat għal ramel imxarrab u niexef, u għal skoperta taħt l-ilma.
- Deheb: Designed for detecting small gold nuggets in mineralized ground.
Use the Mode button to cycle through these options. Each mode has specific settings that can be further adjusted.
Operazzjoni Bażika
- Bilanċ tal-Art: Perform an automatic ground balance by pressing the Ground Balance button (⁎) and pumping the coil up and down over clear ground until a stable threshold is achieved. This calibrates the detector to the soil conditions.
- Sensittività: Adjust the sensitivity using the + u - buttons. Start with a moderate setting and increase it for deeper detection, or decrease it if experiencing excessive false signals.
- Diskriminazzjoni: Use the Discrimination button (⌫) to accept or reject certain target IDs. This helps filter out unwanted trash items.
- Sweeping the Coil: Hold the coil parallel to the ground and sweep it slowly from side to side, overlapping each sweep. Maintain a consistent height above the ground.
- Identifikazzjoni: When a target is detected, press the Pinpoint button (⍖) to narrow down the target's exact location. Move the coil slowly over the target area until the strongest signal is found.
