4. Орнату және құрастыру

4.1. Құрастыру

1. Attach the Searchcoil: Secure the DD searchcoil to the lower stem using the provided bolt and washers. Ensure it is firmly attached but can still pivot.
2. Connect the Stem Sections: Extend the adjustable stem sections and lock them into place. The ATX Extreme is fully collapsible, allowing you to adjust the length to your preference.
3. Mount the Control Housing: Slide the control housing onto the upper stem. Adjust the armrest for comfortable use.
4. Connect Searchcoil Cable: Carefully wrap the searchcoil cable around the stem, ensuring it is not too tight or loose, and plug it into the designated port on the control housing. Tighten the connector securely.

4.2. Батареяны орнату

The ATX Extreme requires batteries for operation. Ensure they are fully charged before first use.

1. Locate the battery compartment on the control housing.
2. Бөлменің қақпағын ашыңыз.
3. Insert the rechargeable batteries according to the polarity indicators (+/-).
4. Close the battery compartment cover securely to maintain its waterproof seal.
5. To charge the batteries, connect the provided charger to the charging port on the control housing and plug it into a power source.

5. Пайдалану нұсқаулары

5.1. Қуатты қосу/өшіру

To power on the detector, press and hold the Power button until the unit activates. To power off, press and hold the Power button again until the unit shuts down.

5.2. Жер тепе-теңдігі

The Advanced Ground Balance feature allows the ATX Extreme to operate efficiently in various ground conditions. Perform ground balance by pumping the searchcoil up and down over the ground while pressing the Ground Balance button. The detector will automatically adjust to the mineralization levels.

5.3. Анықтау режимдері

The ATX Extreme offers both Motion and Non-Motion modes:

• Қозғалыс режимі: Requires the searchcoil to be in motion to detect targets. This mode is generally used for wider area scanning.
• Non-Motion Mode: Allows for detection of targets even when the searchcoil is stationary. Useful for pinpointing targets or searching in confined spaces.

Refer to the control panel for specific button functions to switch between modes.

5.4. Ground Track

Select one of the 4 Ground Track settings to best suit the current ground conditions. This feature continuously monitors and adjusts to changing ground mineralization, maintaining optimal performance.

5.5. Frequency Scan

If you experience interference from other electronic devices, use the automatic Frequency Scan function. This will help minimize RFI and provide a clearer signal.

5.6. Дыбыс деңгейін басқару

Adjust the volume to your preference. Reducing the volume can help in distinguishing deep or faint signals by limiting the overwhelming response from large, shallow targets.

5.7. Quick Iron Check and Discrimination

Utilize the Quick Iron Check feature to rapidly identify potential iron targets. The adjustable Discrimination setting allows you to filter out unwanted metallic junk, focusing on more valuable targets.

6. Күтім және техникалық қызмет көрсету

• Тазалау: After each use, especially in saltwater or muddy conditions, clean the detector with fresh water and a soft cloth. Ensure all connections are dry before storage. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
• Сақтау орны: Store the detector in a cool, dry place. If storing for an extended period, remove the batteries.
• Батареяға күтім жасау: Always use the recommended charger for the rechargeable batteries. Avoid overcharging or completely draining the batteries to prolong their lifespan.
• Кабельдерді басқару: Ensure the searchcoil cable is not kinked or damaged. Inspect it regularly for wear.
• Су өткізбейтін тығыздағыштар: Periodically check the integrity of all waterproof seals, especially around the battery compartment and cable connections, to maintain the IP68 rating.

7. Ақаулықтарды жою

7.1. Қуат жоқ

• Check if batteries are correctly installed and fully charged.
• Батарея бөлігінің қақпағы мықтап жабылғанына көз жеткізіңіз.

7.2. Erratic Signals / False Signals

• Perform a Ground Balance procedure.
• Use the Frequency Scan function to minimize RFI.
• Ensure the searchcoil cable is securely connected and not damaged.
• Check for nearby sources of electromagnetic interference (power lines, other electronics).

7.3. Poor Detection Depth

• Ensure proper Ground Balance has been achieved for the current soil conditions.
• Check battery charge level; low batteries can affect performance.
