manual abstract
The Pioneer 202 is a motion detector; movement over an object is required in order for the machine to detect the object and emit a tone. Alternatively, you can sweep a metal object over a motionless search coil. THIS METAL DETECTOR HAS TWO TYPES OF OPERATING MODES: 1. ALL METAL DETECTION All metals will be detected. 2. DISCRIMINATE, NOTCH, and AUTO NOTCH modes In any of these three detection modes, the detector will emit different tones, depending upon the type of metal present. The characteristics are adjustable. Depending on the detector control settings, some metals will also be eliminated from detection. DISCRIMINATE: Eliminates iron and trash items with the use of the DISC/NOTCH knob. NOTCH: Provides an adjustable rejection "window" to eliminate undesirable metals from detection. Move the rejection "window" with the DISC/NOTCH knob. AUTO NOTCH: Provides a pre-set rejection "window", automatically eliminating most pull-tabs and trash items from detection. CAUTION: • Do not test the detector by placing coins or metal objects on the floor. Most floors contain metal, which will cause interference. • Use 9-VOLT ALKALINE batteries only. DO NOT USE INDOORS. LIGHTS AND HOUSEHOLD APPLIANCES EMIT ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS WHICH INTERFERE WITH THE DETECTOR’S OPERATION INTRODUCTION Your Pioneer 202 is an advanced technology metal detector, designed for a variety of applications including coinshooting, relic hunting, and general purpose detecting. Before using your Pioneer 202, it is important to read these instructions. This manual's description of detection detecting. Terminology Discrimination — metals, we different types of objects. and nails. Pull-tabs and iron, or steel. We have therefore incorporated special features into the Pioneer 202 to eliminate these targets or to alert you to their possible presence. concepts and types of metals is necessary to avoid frustration if you are new to the hobby of metal Elimination — Reference to a metal or target being "eliminated" means that the detector will not emit a tone nor light up an LCD indicator when an object is in the coil’s detection field. When the detector emits different tones for different types of metals, and when the detector "eliminates" certain refer to this as the detector "discriminating" among Iron — Iron is a common, low-grade metal which is often an undesirable target. Examples of undesirable iron objects are old cans, pipes, bolts, Relic — A relic is an aged object of historical significance. Note that many relics are made of iron, an otherwise undesirable object in some metal detecting applications. Trash Items — Discarded pull-tabs from beverage containers are the most bothersome items for professional and hobby metal detectorists. These items are generally constructed of aluminum, Pioneer 202 FEATURES Interchangeable Coil System Headphone Jack S-Rod LCD Display Stand Hand-grip Control Touchpad Controls Extended Handle System S-Rod Detector 8" Waterproof Search Coil Comfort Armrest Discriminate Sensitivity Control TABLE OF CONTENTS ASSEMBLY . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .4 S-Rod Assembly . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .4 Mounting the Coil . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .4 INSTALLING BATTERIES . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .5 DEMONSTRATION . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .6 BASIC OPERATION . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .7 Turning on Your Detector . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .7 Set the Mode . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .7 Reading the Display . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .8 Low Battery Indicator . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .9 Depth Indicator . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .9 SENSITIVITY ADJUSTMENT . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .10 MODES OF OPERATION . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .11 & 12 AUDIO TARGET ID . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .13 IN THE FIELD TECHNIQUES . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .14 Pinpointing . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .14 Coil Movement . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .14 & 15 METAL DETECTING APPLICATIONS . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .16 ACCESSORIES . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .17 TROUBLESHOOTING . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .18 CARE & MAINTENANCE . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .19 TREASURE HUNTER’S CODE OF ETHICS . . . . . . . . . .BACK COVER WARRANTY INFORMATION . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ...
