[. . . ] · . =~©®fF>t!: METAL DETECTOR/TREASURE SEEKER VL~TR1200B OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS INSTRUCTIONS VLF. TR 1200-8 INTRODUCTION IMPORTANT To protect your investment complete both sections of the guarantee at the back of this instruction manual 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 your detector should ever require service this package will be most suitable for postal protection. C-Scope detectors are recognised as the finest metal detectors available. [. . . ] A higher level of discrimination can be obtained by operating in the G-D3 mode. However, operating at Discriminate levels beyond Mode D2, Discriminate Level 5 may result in depth losses on certain objects such as cupro-nickel or thin section jewellery. The Discriminate level of the meter channel which is fixed as previously described is equivalent to Mode D2 Discriminate Level 5. OPERATING IN THE ANALYTICAL MODES To operate in one of the three analytical modes: G - D1 G - D2 G - 03 , it is necessary to decide which level of discriminate is requirea4'or' the site you wi:-: :':"J. For instance, or a ploughed field where silver paper and ring pulls are not a problem the user will probably select G-D1. On another site, say a picnic si~e where silver paper and some ring pulls abound, the user will probably select G-D2 or even G-D3. Always though, use as little discrimination as the site allows. Follow steps 1-3 "Setting the Tuning Level of the Detector" and then se!ect the most suitable mode by following this procedure: 4b. Keep at a steady height above the ground and ensure the Tuning Level is set correctly by operating the ADC switch firmly to the left or right and then release it. The principle of the Analytical'Moce operation is to search in the Ground Exclude Mode (Gl and then analyse any target by switching to the relevant Discriminate Mode (D). To select the (G) mode press the ADC switch to the left and then release it. When a target object has been located, note the location of the signal and take the search head away from the object at least two to three feet. Select the (D) mode and ensure the tuning level is at the correct level by pre~sing the ADC switch to the right and then release it. Carefully rescan the target object, ensuring that the search head is kept level with the ground. :C;b. 6 9b. 11b. To analyse the find: a rejected object will give a swing to the left on the meter and a decrease in audio response; a worthwhile target will give a swing to the right on the meter and an increase in audio response. The Discriminate Level may be fine tuned in each of the three main D modes by varying the Discriminate level control. The Sensitivity Level may be varied but 0 is the recommended level in the Analytical Mode. OPERATING IN THE DISCRIMINATE MODE On a wet salt beach it is best to operate in a Discriminate Mode all the time. This is because the salt water makes the ground conductive. and to ground exclude in these conditions the detector needs to be set at a point where iron is rejected. This is a useful coincidence because it means that ground exclusion and discrimination against iron are possible at the same setting on wet salt sand with the 1200-8. The ground exclude setting for beaches is not as exact as that for inland siles and in practice it is possible to reject silver paper and ground exclude on a beach. D2 or D1 are the recommended mode settings. The qiscriminate level can also be adjusted to suit the particular conditions. Follow Steps 1·3 "Setting the Tuning Level of the Detector. " 4c. [. . . ] The beaches are the only place where people undress publicly; anyone who has attempted to change into a bathing costume discreetly and then store their coins on the open sand knows the chances of losing not only coins, but jewellery and wristwatches, too, Once an object has been mislaid on the beach, it is maddeningly difficult to find it again. There is also a high incidence of wrecks along our coasts, the contents of which are deposited at intervals on our beaches. These factors contribute to make our beaches probably the richest site for the amateur metal detective. The best times to explore beaches are after heavy storms when the sand has been thoroughly stirred up and shifted. [. . . ]
