DEPTH AND TARGET DISPLAY (motion modes only)
DEPTH INDICATOR:
The Depth Indicator is accurate for
When passing over an object, the depth indicator will light up and stay illuminated until another object is scanned. Repeated indication at the same depth level indicates an accurate target detector. If the depth indication varies with each sweep, try sweeping at different angles; there may be more than one target present. With practice, you will learn the difference between
accurate readings, multiple targets, and highly erratic readings which evidence trash or irregularly shaped objects.
THREE DIGIT TARGET INDICATOR
The three digit target indicator, in the middle of the LCD display, provides a specific target value to help identify buried targets more accurately. With practice in the field, you will learn to associate target values with the probable identification of buried objects. The target value can vary each time the coil passes over the target, depending upon the angle of the object and the distance from the coil. As a starting point, refer to the table below.
TARGET Readout
The table below list some common approximate target value equivalents. With experience in the filed, you will recognize many types of metals by their numeric value.
