GLOSSARY OF TERMS

Iron Mask One of the Explorer II’s Smartfind displays. The Iron Mask function rejects objects with ferrous properties. This level of ferrous rejection is represented with a dark ‘curtain’ which moves across the horizontal dimension of the Smartfind screen as the Iron Mask is adjusted.

Learn One of Explorer II’s Advanced displays. Learn allows the user to accept or reject certain targets to create a personalized discrimination pattern.

Mineralized ground Ground containing certain minerals which can cause false signals to be given. Mineralized ground is handled automatically by the Explorer’s ground compensation.

Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) Nickel Metal Hydride batteries are the modern equivalent of older NiCad (Nickel Cadmium) batteries. NiMH batteries have a longer life-span and are not affected by memory to the same degree.

Non-ferrousNot containing iron. Non-ferrous objects or non-magnetic metals (such as silver or copper coins, gold jewelry, etc).

Pinpoint Function allowing an object to be precisely located. Pinpoint overrides the automatic motion detection and discrimination settings of the Explorer II.

Quickstart mode The Explorer II’s basic operating mode.

Recovery Recovery, one of the Explorer II’s Advanced options, allows the user to modify the way the discrimination process works and affects the audio and display responses to target characteristics.

Response The signal or audible indication of a target. Also a menu affecting the audio response of the detector.

Search coil The search coil is the circular plate swept across the ground surface during detecting. It transmits electromagnetic signals into the ground and receives the response.
