Silver/Copper, Mid-Range, Iron | Bounty Hunter 1100 manual

BASIC OPERATION

The RIGHT SIDE of the display classifies objects into three categories.

Silver/Copper: ------------------------------------------

Objects composed of silver and cooper will illuminate this arrow. Buried and heavily oxidized metal objects, such as old tin cans, can also fall into this category. Larger aluminum objects, like beverage cans, will sometimes fall into this category.

Mid-Range: ------------------------------------------------

Mid-range objects cover a large variety of metals.

Among them are: pull-tabs from beverage containers, nickels, medium-sized gold objects, some types of aluminum, and zinc.

Iron: -------------------------------------------------------------

All ferrous objects, and some smaller aluminum objects, fall into the iron category. Small gold objects can also fall into this range.

The BOTTOM RIGHT SIDE of the display will illuminate a Low Battery Indicator symbol if the batteries are discharged. The indicator illuminates, and remains illuminated, when the 9-volt batteries have discharged to a level of 7.35 volts.

Reading the Display IN THE FIELD

With the detector in use in the field, the display will indicate both the DEPTH and the TARGET IDENTIFICATION of each object detected. After a target is detected, these indicators will remain illuminated with this information until the next target has been detected. If uncertain about the target’s identification, try sweeping the coil at a faster speed. A more rapid sweep over a target will generally provide a more accurate target identification.

BASIC OPERATION

The MODE CONTROL

The MODE touchpad allows for the elimination from detection of unwanted metal objects.

By pressing MODE, the user toggles among four different discrimination settings.

During MODE (or discrimination) selection, the SENSITIVITY INDICATOR on the left of the display will flash continually. The detector will remain in this discrimination selection mode for 10 seconds until a metal object has been detected.

If an object is detected during mode selection, the detector will exit mode selection. If this happens, you will need to press MODE again and begin mode selection over again. To avoid this, keep the detector stationary and reduce sensitivity before pressing MODE.

The MODE touchpad has two functions:

Each first press of MODE will be followed by.

●A distinctive tone or tones, indication the detector’s stored discriminating setting.

HIGH TONE - no object eliminated. LOW TONE - iron eliminated.

MEDIUM TONE - mid-range metals eliminated.

LOW & MEDIUM TONE - irons and mid-range metals both eliminated.

●Flashing target and sensitivity indicators. The flashing target indicators point to the targets eliminated.

Each subsequent press of MODE will toggle between discrimination settings. The flashing arrow indicates the target category eliminated.

The detector will store the current discrimination setting until the power is turned off.
