SENSITIVITY
Many things such as Power lines, Electric fences even buildings can cause Electrical Interference & Falsing when your detector is in use and there is no metal under the coil. Users can reduce the sensitivity by pressing on the downward triangle button directly.Users can increase sensitivity when searching in low Interference Situations. It is always best to maintain sensitivity as high as is possible to achieve best depth.
DISCRIMINATION
Metal Detectors calculate the metal I.D. through the conductivity of the metal.Higher conductive metals such as silver show higher digit on the screen. Lower conductive such as Iron show lower on the scale usually under 25. The QUESTPRO comes with up to 40 bars of metal ID indication. Users can select or deselect specific metal I.D.s to discriminate out undesired metal objects. After powering on click on the M button once and the bar under the digit gauge will flash. Use the Triangle buttons to scroll through and select bars that you wish to discriminate out. Once selected press M to select / deselect to save. Once you have finished press Pinpoint button to return to a working condition.
PROGRAM
After powering on the detector to scroll through the various Programs, press
and hold the Ground Balance button while at the same time scrolling with the
Triangle buttons to arrive at the Programs you want. 1 and 2 are left for
customize users own program.
The four preset programs available are:
- Jewelry Mode. Very sensitive, high recovery speed, target at Gold rings, Jewelry items. TID range 20 – 99
- Coin Mode. Very stable, medium recovery speed, target for ancient or modern coins TID range 40 – 99
- Gold Field Mode. High recovery speed, ZERO discrimination, good for gold prospecting. TID 0~99
- Beach Mode. Normal sensitivity, low recovery speed, strong saltwater immunity. TID range 20 – 99
- Cache Mode. Middle recovery speed for deeper penetration performance.
- 1,2 Modes. For customization settings.
PINPOINTING
By pressing on the PINPOINT button(the round button with cross sign), the detector will enter a non-motion mode and alarm to target without moving the coil. Users can use this function to pinpoint target with cross action as illustrated. The target depth will be indicated through the right bars. The lower bar the deeper the target is buried. We strongly recommend to select the Xpointer for further assistance during digging to save the time.
GROUND BALANCING
Level-up
The QUESTPRO comes with Ground Balancing (GB) function. We recommend GB every
time you change the detecting area. Make sure you have no metal targets under
the coil while GB. When successfully ground balanced the matrix display will
show GC RESULT. Press and hold the square button while pumping the coil 6”
(15cm) height to 1” above the ground. While pumping the coil the ground
condition will indicate two numbers, when these settle down and are stable GB
is complete.The ground mineralization condition is indicated by the round bar
with FE%. The GC with two digits indicate the ground cancelling level. If it
is not possible to GB on highly mineralized land you can use the GC function
in the menu to set it manually.
TONE
TONES. Users can select different TONES by their own preference and
different detecting conditions.
TONE SPACE. Users are be able to set where to start the middle tone and
high tone. When TONE SPACE menu been selected, use UP/DOWN buttons to choose
the point.
FESEN. Sense of Ferrous. In Trashy areas some good signals may be muted
together by an Iron signal.Users can turn the FESEN function on to have more
chance to hear the good signals.It may cause more noise when FESEN has been
activated.
BANDS
BANDS: the frequency of transmitter. The QuestPro comes with 5kHz, 13kHz, 20kHz three selectable frequencies. We are keep working on better algorithm for different frequencies. We will push to our QuestGo APP to let you know when they are available.
- 5kHz is designed for deeper penetration. Good for deep buried large items.
- 13kHz is for general use frequency with most versatile performance.
- 20kHz is good for finer items, trashier area but with lower depth. Such as gold field.
