Tips For Using the Little Wizard When
the detector is in a cold environment (below 40 degrees) they may become
erratic or be caused to beep constantly. This is due to moisture content
of the air that causes metal detectors to have less ability to generate
and receive a magnetic signal. The detector will function better in temperatures
above 40 degrees. If you need to use your detector in a temperature below
40 degrees it may be necessary to place the unit in a warm environment
such as a location of normal room temperature for a period of a half hour
to one hour depending on the moisture content and temperature. Ground Balancing. What are we actually doing when we ground balance a detector? Ground balance can be described as compensating for the phase shift of the detectors "received coil signal" because of the affects of average ground mineralization. The two basic components of a metal detectors operation is signal is amplitude, and phase response. These two components work together to cause a metal detector to signal when it is in contact with metal. The signal is generated when a detector recognizes a variance in magnetic waves that are generated by the detectors coil. When a shift in a detectors magnetic field is present the detector will emit a beeping tone. Ground mineralization will affect the detectors settings and can cause false or erratic signals. Ground balance issues will be evident because the detector will go quiet or may respond (beep) when there is no real target evident. When ground balancing there is not supposed to be any target (metal objects) present. To tune your detector for proper ground balance follow the instructions below for your model of detector If there are a lot of metallic objects around you or you are in a location that has heavy mineralization either a loss in depth or excessive false signals may be experienced while operating the detector. Also if the ground-balance is adjusted so the detector gets quieter and the unit beeps when it is rotated to a different position either up and down or rotated left or right (mostly to the southern direction due to the polar fields), the unit in some cases may give false signals when the coil is swept over a surface. In some instances it may be necessary to have the detector facing in one particular direction (a direction that allows the detector to beep only when in contact with metal). These
factors are not a flaws in the detector, believe it or not having
control over the ground balance rather than having it "preset"
at the factory will help you in locating buried shot. Every single metal
detector made is affected by ground balance and the Earth's polar fields. |

Operating
Instructions: |
Specifications:
Types of Metal Detected: Responds equally well to all types of metal, steel, stainless steel, zinc, magnesium, and aluminum. Helps locate guns, knives, blades, and any metallic object. Electronics: Unit operates with an automatic tuning transmit/receive circuit. Provides precision detection pattern which helps prevent false alarms. Dimensions: Length 18, Width 21/2, Height 1 1/8 at sensor, 2 at handle, Weight: 13 oz. Power Requirements: One nine volt alkaline battery (not included). We use and recommend DuracellTM Alkaline batteries. Alert Indicators: Switchable Piezo Tone Audio Alert, Vibration Alert and LED Light Alert can are used to indicate the presence of metal. ![]() ![]() Loading/Changing the Battery: The battery compartment is located at the end of the handle. To open the battery compartment, push the battery cover upward using your fingernail or a coin in the groove at the base of the cover. Slide the tray completely out of the handle. Place a nine volt alkaline battery in the tray, with the battery terminals protruding through the slots in the end of the tray (figure 1). The negative battery terminal protrudes through the larger slot, the positive through the smaller slot. Slide the tray back into the handle until it snaps into place (figure 2). |
