Bounty Hunter DISCOVERY 1100 инструкция обслуживания

OWNER’S MANUAL The Discovery 1100 is an easy to use detector . The most difficult aspects of metal detecting have been automated. However , if you are new to the hobby , we strongly recommend that you: 1) Adjust the Sensitivity to a low setting in the event of false signals. Always begin use at a reduced sensitivity level; increase to full sensit[...]

3 TERMINOLOGY The following terms are used throughout the manual, and are standard terminology among detectorists. ELIMINA TION Reference to a metal being "eliminated" means that the detector will not emit a tone, nor light up an indicator , when a specified object passes through the coil’ s detection field. DISCRIMINA TION When the det[...]

4 ASSEMBL Y Assembly is easy and requires no tools. ● 1 Position the lower stem (the straight tube) with the silver button toward the back. Using the bolt and knurled knob, attach the search coil to the plastic extension protruding from the lower stem. ● 2 Press the button on the upper end of the lower stem, and slide the lower stem into the up[...]

5 ASSEMBL Y Adjusting the Arm Rest Most people will find the standard position of the armrest very comfortable. V ery large forearms and short forearms (particularly children’ s arms), can be accommodated by moving the armrest forward. The armrest is adjustable to three positions. To adjust, press the silver button on the underside, and move the [...]

6 Use ALKALINE batteries only . To install the batteries: ● 1 Remove the battery cover by disengaging the clip at the back. ● 2 Align the polarity of the batteries correctly , with the positive "+" toward the coil plug connection, as indicated by the + and – indicators on the housing. ● 3 Insert (2) 9-V olt ALKALINE batteries, wit[...]

7 Q UICK-ST AR T DEMONSTRA TION I. Supplies Needed • A Nail • A Quarter • A Pull-T ab from a beverage can • A Zinc Penny (dated after 1982) II. Position the Detector a. Place the detector on a table, with the search coil hanging over the edge. (or better , have a friend hold the detector , with the coil off the ground) b. Keep the search co[...]

8 VI. Press the MODE touchpad again. a. A flashing indicator will point toward IRON. b. The flashing indicator tells us that Iron has been eliminated from detection. VII. W ave the Nail over the Search Coil a. The Nail will not be detected. b. The Nail has been "Discriminated Out." VIII. W ave the Quarter , Penny , and Pull-T ab over the [...]

9 BASIC OPERA TION POWERING UP Press the ON touchpad. All display indicators will illuminate momentarily . The 4-segment pyramid-shaped Sensitivity Indicator will illuminate on the left side of the display . The 4-segment pyramid indicates that the detector is at full sensitivity . When an object is detected, the object will be identified by a tone[...]

10 BASIC OPERA TION (continued) 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 objec[...]

11 BASIC OPERA TION (continued) 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. If an object is detected during mode selection, the detector will exit mode selection. If this happens, you will need to press MODE a[...]

12 BASIC OPERA TION (continued) Discrimination Settings are as follows: Mode Metals Status Display Eliminated T ones (During discrimination selection) No T arget All-Metal None High Indicators Flashing Iron Ferrous Low Iron Discrimination only Indicator Flashing Pull-tabs, Screw Mid-Range Caps, some Foil, Mid-Range Discrimination medium Gold, Mediu[...]

13 AUDIO T ARGET IDENTIFICA TION While the LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) is very accurate in identifying buried objects, the user in the field does not always maintain the display screen in his field of vision. Therefore, we have incorporated an audio feedback mechanism to alert the user to the nature of buried objects. This audio feedback system fi[...]

14 ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE The principle use for the Sensitivity Control is to eliminate Electromagnetic Interference (EMI). A hobby metal detector is an extremely sensitive device; the search coil creates its own magnetic field and acts like an antenna. If your detector beeps erratically when the search coil is motionless, the unit is probabl[...]

15 IN THE FIELD TECHNIQUES When pinpointing a target, try drawing an “X”, as illustrated, over where the tone is induced. PINPOINTING Accurate pinpointing takes practice and is best accomplished by “X-ing” the target area. 1. Once a buried target is indicated by a good tone response, continue sweeping the coil over the target in a narrowing[...]

16 Swing the search coil slowly , overlapping each sweep as you move forward. It is important to sweep the coil at a consistent speed over the ground as you search. After identifying a target, your sweep technique can help in identifying both the location and the nature of the target. If you encounter a weak signal, try moving the coil in short, ra[...]

17 you many have encountered multiple objects. If you are new to the hobby , you may want to dig all targets at first. With practice in the field, you will learn to better discern the nature of buried objects by the nature of the detector’ s response. Y ou may encounter some false signals as you proceed. False signals occur when the detector beep[...]

18 TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE SYMPTOM CAUSE SOLUTION Detector chatters • Using detector • Use detector or beeps erratically indoors outdoors only • Using detector near • Move away power lines from power lines • Using 2 detectors in • Keep 2 detectors close proximity at l east 20’ apart • Highly oxidized • Only dig up buried object rep[...]

19 Y our Discovery 1100 Metal Detector is an example of superior design and craftsmanship. The following suggestions will help you care for your metal detector so you can enjoy it for years to come. Keep the detector’ s chassis dry and do not let water enter it. If the chassis gets wet, wipe it dry immediately . Liquids might contain minerals tha[...]
