Using the RESET Button:
When the device is in use some
interference may occur due to the
environment or unbalanced detector
head movement. These interferences
start to show on the screen and cause
the device to give a sound alarm.
Resetting can be done by pressing
the “RESET” button on the system
box. By resetting the effects of interference are
eliminated. Resetting
should not be done when the detector head is over
the target! This will
cause loss of depth, misinterpretation of received
signal and the target
become invisible to the device. Resetting
procedure is carried out
after the detector head is removed away from the
target.
23
WHAT IS GROUND SETTING AND HOW IT IS DONE?
In our country land formation and soil composition
vary in relation to
regions. In some regions the composition may vary
frequently (Sand,
lime, red earth with dense mineral content, rocky
formation, etc.).
These variations in soil composition mislead the
detector and cause
perception as metal or void. Therefore first we have
to launch the soil
characteristics of the region to the detector’s
system. Launching these
data will block all misleading effects that may come
up from the ground;
these will be perceived as misleading signals from
the ground, and thus
eliminated.
Ground setting is one of the most important
provisions of exploration.
Therefore the operator should be a keen observer and
should be able to
detect variations in the ground. He has to observe
soil compositions
continuously to be able to make ground adjustment
again in case
misleading signals the device will perceive results
from variations in soil
composition.
Ground setting is made for the device to recognize
the soil and not to be
affected by it. Thus the device is not affected from
metal or void
reflections of varying soil compositions. If ground
setting is not properly
done it will cause loss of depth and minerals to be
evaluated as metals
or voids. Therefore ground
settings should be made as correctly as
possible.
Considering the general condition of land formation
in our country, a
ground setting system is established that will
eliminate ground effect on
the device.
24
HOW IS GROUND SETTING DONE?
When the device is switched on it starts with the
GROUND ADJUST”
mode. Ground adjustment should be done before using
the device for
correct results. During exploration when soil
composition has changed
and when ground adjustment has to be done again
switch to ground
mode by pressing the “GROUND” button and
re-adjust ground settings
after checking existing settings.
Ground Setting Phases
1. When the
device is switched on in “LCD” mode,
ground adjustment is displayed automatically.
2. Lift the
detector head 40 cm above ground and
press the “RESET” button.
3. When in
ground mode the effect of ground on
the device is displayed on the monitor as “Ground
Effect”. This effect
will change when ground adjustment is made.
4. Make
sure that there are no metals or voids in the ground where
ground setting will be made. If ground setting could
not be adjusted
it will be repeated in a neighboring area.
25
5. The
operator lifts the detector head “40
cm” above ground and
after
resetting lower the detector head “ 5-10
cm” parallel to the
ground.
6. If there
is no ground effect on the
device there is no interaction on
the bar that is indicated in the
figure and “Ground Setting 100%
Completed” expression is
displayed. In this case the device
is ready for exploring and you may
switch to explore mode by
pressing the “ACCEPT” button.
7. In case
there is ground effect on
the device an interaction is
observed in the “GROUND
ADJUST” bars that are indicated
in the figure. To eliminate this
effect press “-“ button for “-“ effect
and press “+” button for “+” effect.
Press “-“ or “+” buttons until this
effect is eliminated and “Ground
Setting 100% Completed”
expression is displayed.
26
8. After
pressing “+” or “-“ buttons lift the detector head 40 cm
above
ground and press the “RESET” button and observe
the ground effect
by holding the detector head 5-10 cm above ground,
if ground effect
persists try to eliminate this effect by pressing
“+” or “-“ buttons.
9. If we
are not able to eliminate the ground effect decrease the
sensitivity level one step and repeat the above
defined operation.
10. After
the ground effect is eliminated you may press the “ACCEPT”
button and switch to Explore Mode.
27
28
EXPLORE MODE
29
After
“GROUND“ setting is
completed “ACCEPT” button is pressed
and switched to Explore Mode.
The
detector head is lifted 40 cm above ground and the “RESET”
button is pressed.
Hold
the detector head 5-10 cm above and parallel to the ground.
You can explore by moving the detector head slowly
with a right o left
sweeping motion or by walking straight. Try to
detect a target by
exploring his way.
When
the device detects a metal
or a void it gives a sound alarm and
interaction occur on CAVITY, METAL,
IRON and VALUABLE bars according
to the power of the signal. At the same
time the effect of the target can be
monitored on the graph above the
bars. Metal targets are indicated with
upper projecting lines and void targets
are indicated with lower projecting
lines on this graph.
Ground
effect that may be formed together with the target is also
displayed on the display. This ground effect is
indicated to the operator
as “CAVITY” or “METAL”
If the
target is a CAVITY, there is
a raise on the “CAVITY” bar and
decrease in the graph. The intensity of
the “CAVITY” bar is indicated as % on
top depending on the magnitude of
the effect of target.
30
If the
target is valuable metal,
there is a raise both on the “METAL”
and ”VALUABLE” that is expressed
in % depending on the magnitude of
the effect. The effect of metal can be
monitored in the graph on top of the
bars.
If the
target is worthless metal
there is a raise both on the “METAL”
“IRON” that is expressed in %
depending on the magnitude of the
effect.
When
an alarm is received from the device over any point; the
device is taken away from the target and reset in an
area where no
signal is received and the detector head is passed
over the same target
again. If there is increase in the “CAVITY” bar,
our target is a void. If
there is increase in the “METAL” and “VALUABLE”
or “IRON” bar, our
target is a metal. If required the “RESET”
button is pressed and detector
head is passed over the target once more. This last
operation is done to
be sure about the result.
31
