INTRODUCTION The C-Scope METADEC II is the culmination of many years of research by both electronic engineers and metal detector enthusiasts to produce a detector with high performance, that both a novice or an experienced user can harness to the full, simply and effectively. IMPORTANT To protect your investment complete both sections of the guarantee at the back of this instruction booklet and return the reply paid portion to C-Scope. This is particularly important in order to obtain the free second year parts guarantee. In the event that your detector should ever require to be serviced. [. . . ] Generally, only set the detector to D2 - lOon sites where the incidence of pull tabs makes detecting impossible otherwise. 9 Sensitivity (R) The SENSITIVITY CONTROL regulates the sensitivity of the detector to drift, instability etc, as well as to metal objects. By increasing the Sensitivity by tuning this control into the + sector the detector will be more prone to drift, erratic signals, ground interference. Where there is no ground effect or outside inter ference the Sensitivity Control can be operated at higher levels. But when the signal becomes unsteady or erratic. the Sensitivity level should be reduced to obtain a clear. Only when the tuning is constant and steady will the detector operate at the best optimum depth penetration. Once the Ground Exclude Levels and Discriminate Levels have been set the Ground Mode can be engaged by operating the Ground Switch (vi) which also retunes the detector. reset the TUNiNG by operating the Ground push-button (vii or if this in ineffective. re-set the Ground Exclude level as described on P. When an object has been located and pinpointed, move the detector search head away from the target object. change the mode to DISCRIMINATE by operating the DISCAIM push button (vii); hold the detector head steady. or in contact with the ground itself; ensure the detector is set at the correct threshold tuning level. by again pressing DISCAIM retune push button (vii), and then carefully re-scan the target object. preferably keeping the search head in contact with the ground. If the target is accepted the meter will move up the scale to the right. If the target is discriminated against or rejected. the meter will move down the scale to the left. It is possible to operate in the DISCAIM mode continuously, if the ground conditions allow and mineralisation is not severe. in DISCAIM it is best to operate at the lower levels of discriminate, I. e. Alternatively, or also, the SENSITI VITY can be reduced at (A) to ensure the threshold Tuning level can be maintained and performance maintained. F. USE IN THE FIELD . The METADEC II can be used in various ways to suit various sites or conditions. For reference a series of diagrams has been prepared to illustrate this. [. . . ] Do not leave gates open when crossing fields, and do not damage crops or frighten animals. Never miss an opportunity to show and explain your detector to anyone who asks about it. You could pick up some useful clues to another site. If you meet another detector user, introduce yourself. [. . . ]
