4. Configuració

4.1 Muntatge

1. Attach the search coil to the lower stem using the provided bolt and nut. Ensure it is securely fastened but do not overtighten.
2. Connect the lower stem to the middle stem, and then connect the middle stem to the upper stem (control box assembly). Ensure all connections are firm.
3. Wrap the coil cable snugly around the stem, leaving enough slack for coil movement, and plug it into the control box.
4. Adjust the armrest to a comfortable position for your arm length.

4.2 Instal·lació i càrrega de la bateria

The Equinox 800 uses 1 Lithium Polymer battery (included). Charge the battery fully before first use using the provided USB charging cable with magnetic connector. Ensure the magnetic connector is properly aligned for charging.

5. Modes de funcionament

The Equinox 800 offers 4 Detect Modes, each optimized for specific detecting conditions:

• Mode aparcament: Ideal for high-trash areas like parks and urban environments.
• Mode de camp: Suitable for open fields and agricultural land, offering good depth and target separation.
• Mode platja: Optimized for wet sand and saltwater conditions, handling mineralization effectively.
• Gold Mode: Designed for prospecting small gold nuggets in mineralized ground.

The detector also features 6 Frequency Options:

• Multi-IQ: Simultaneous multi-frequency for maximum versatility and depth.
• Single Frequencies: 5kHz, 10kHz, 15kHz, 20kHz, 40kHz for specific target types or ground conditions.

6. Funcionament bàsic

6.1 Encès/Apagat

Press and hold the Power button (usually located on the control box) to turn the detector ON or OFF.

6.2 Ajust de volum

Use the Volume buttons (typically '+' and '-' symbols) to increase or decrease the audio output level.

6.3 Ajust de sensibilitat

Adjust the Sensitivity level to optimize depth and stability. Higher sensitivity increases depth but may also increase ground noise. Lower sensitivity reduces noise but may decrease detection depth.

6.4 Noise Cancel

Perform a Noise Cancel procedure to minimize electromagnetic interference from the environment. This helps stabilize the detector's operation. Refer to the on-screen prompts for guidance.

6.5 Balanç de terreny

Ground Balance calibrates the detector to the ground mineralization, reducing false signals and improving target detection. The Equinox 800 offers automatic and manual ground balance options. Auto-tracking ground balance is often sufficient for most conditions.

7. Configuració avançada

7.1 Discriminació

Discrimination allows you to ignore unwanted trash targets (e.g., iron) and focus on desirable targets. Adjust the discrimination pattern to suit your preferences and the type of targets you are seeking.

7.2 Target Tones and Audio Theme

Customize target tones to differentiate between various target types. The Equinox 800 offers different audio themes, including a "1-Region All Tones" setting, which can provide detailed audio feedback for all detected targets.

8. Manteniment

• Neteja: Després de cada ús, netegeu el detector amb anuncis.amp tela. Eviteu utilitzar productes químics aggressivs.
• Emmagatzematge: Guardeu el detector en un lloc fresc i sec, allunyat de la llum solar directa i de temperatures extremes.
• Cura de la bateria: For long-term storage, ensure the battery is partially charged (around 50%) and recharge it every few months to maintain battery health.

9. Solució De Problemes

9.1 Excessive False Signals

If your detector is producing excessive false signals, consider the following:

• Sensibilitat més baixa: Reduce the sensitivity setting to decrease ground noise.
• Perform Noise Cancel: Re-run the Noise Cancel procedure in a clear area.
• Re-Ground Balance: Perform a fresh Ground Balance to adapt to changing ground conditions.
• Check Coil Cable: Ensure the coil cable is tightly wrapped around the stem and securely connected to the control box. Loose cables can cause erratic behavior.
• Interferència ambiental: Move away from power lines, fences, or other sources of electromagnetic interference.
• Faulty Coil/Cable: In rare cases, persistent false signals may indicate an issue with the search coil or cable. Contact customer support if troubleshooting steps do not resolve the issue.
