Understanding Search Modes
The Equinox 800 features multiple search modes optimized for different detecting conditions:
- Парк: Ideal for high-trash areas like parks and public spaces.
- Талаа: Suitable for open fields and general detecting.
- Пляж: Optimized for wet and dry sand, and underwater detecting.
- Алтын: 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.
Негизги операция
- Жер балансы: 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.
- Сезимталдуулук: Adjust the sensitivity using the + жана - buttons. Start with a moderate setting and increase it for deeper detection, or decrease it if experiencing excessive false signals.
- Дискриминация: 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.
- Тактоо: 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.
