ZONES = III, AUTO ZONES = II;
- In highly mineralized terrains (GROUND COARSE = from 7 to +), is recommended: AUTO
ZONES = III.
In v5, the recommended combinations between the contamination (granularity) of
the terrain and AUTO ZONES, in a manual ground balance mode (GROUND MODE =
MAN), are:
- In unpolluted terrains, are recommended: AUTO ZONES = III, AUTO ZONES = II, AUTO
ZONES = I;
- In highly contaminated with iron and other pollutants terrains, are recommended: AUTO
ZONES = III, AUTO ZONES = II;
- In terrains dotted with stones and rocks, slag, hot rocks, ceramics, is recommended: AUTO
ZONES = III.
At v4 has only one automatic stabilizer (with a high degree of stabilization), but at v5, are
available three automatic stabilizers (with low, medium and high degree of stabilization), to
provide even greater versatility of the metal detector, as the various automatic stabilizers,
influence not only of the overall stability and the depth of detection, but also of the
base behavior of the metal detector:
- with an automatic stabilizer with a low degree of stabilization (AUTO ZONES = I),
v5 has more aggressively, primary behavior of THE BEAST, as can hear all the nuances
of the terrain. This mode is suitable for all users, but at high levels of GAIN, it is recommended
only for very experienced users, who are able to distinguish all the specific nuances of the
sound of the metal detector;
- with an automatic stabilizer with a medium degree of stabilization (AUTO ZONES =
II), v5 has more moderate, semi tamed behavior of THE BEAST, as the field work is
more comfortable. This mode is suitable for all users, but at high levels of GAIN, it is only
recommended for intermediate and advanced users;
- with an automatic stabilizer with a high degree of stabilization (AUTO ZONES =
III), v5 has totally stable, tamed behavior of THE BEAST, as the field work is much more
comfortable. This mode is suitable for all users, including beginners, intermediate and
advanced users. In this mode, even with GAIN = MAX, THE BEAST is completely stable and
unconditionally obeys of the user.
Moreover, with an automatic stabilizer with a high degree of stabilization (available
permanently in v4 and accessible in v5 with setting AUTO ZONES = III), due to the increased
overall stability of the metal detector, at deeply buried metal objects, which are of the
maximum possible depth of detection, the audio sound of the metal detector is extended,
denser and more audible versus the mode with an automatic stabilizer with a medium
degree of stabilization (available in v5 with setting AUTO ZONES = II) and mode with an
automatic stabilizer with a low degree of stabilization (available in v5 with setting AUTO ZONES
= I).
11.5. Switch DISCRIMINATOR of v4 and v5
The DISCRIMINATOR switch, for all versions, serves to set the maximum range of
discrimination of the metal detector, ie it defines the scope of potentiometer DISCR
LEVEL. The various modes are conditional numbered as: "I", "II" and "III".
- At v4, v3, v2i, v2 and v1:
- In mode DISCRIMINATOR = III, the maximum range of discrimination is limited to iron,
aluminum foil and very small, low conductive metal objects, from non-ferrous metals
and alloys;
- In mode DISCRIMINATOR = II, the maximum range of discrimination is limited to small, low
conductive metal objects, mainly from the following non-ferrous metals and their
