Renkforce MD 5000 Mode D'emploi page 23

• The fifth icon means zinc/copper (1c-icon) and suggests that the target may be a coin of zinc or copper.
Some larger gold objects may be displayed in this category.
• The sixth icon (25c-icon) suggests that the target is most likely a silver coin. Some larger aluminium
objects may be displayed in this category.
• The search sensitivity (2) display can be set between the lowest sensitivity (one icon is lit) and the high-
est sensitivity (12 icons are lit) with the buttons "Plus" (+) and "Minus" (-). The maximum sensitivity is
only needed rarely. In this setting, the device would report findings almost without interruption.
• The "Lo-Bat" indicator (3) will come on when the batteries are flat and must be replaced.
• The indicators for the operating modes (4) are lit depending on the search mode chosen. "All METAL",
"DISC" and "NOTCH" are available and are selected by the corresponding buttons (under the display).
• "ALL METAL" is used to detect any metal type. In this mode, only the SENS value (sensitivity) can be
adjusted.
• "DISC" permits setting object differentiation. You can set the target range by pushing the DISC/NOTCH
button and the "Plus" or "Minus" button. More or fewer icons will appear under the metal icons (1). Only
those metals that are marked with icons will still be detected. Example: If you set the DISC range to 4 (see
scale on the display), the detector will detect in the range S-CAPS, 1c or 25c, while all other metal types
will be ignored. You can only increase the DISC range from silver to gold.
• "NOTCH" is meant to detect purer silver or gold types. If you push the button for the NOTCH mode, the
line "DISC/NOTCH" at the very left and right will only show one icon each. With these settings, the detec-
tor will find relatively pure silver or gold types and ignore most other alloys. By pushing the DISC/NOTCH
button and then the plus button, you can increase the range of possible metals. This will also cause less
pure objects to be detected. In this case, the display "Precious metals" (only the two other icons in the
line DISC/NOTCH are lit) will add an increasing number of icons on both sides of the detection range.
When all icons are lit in the line "DISC/NOTCH", the search mode corresponds to "ALL METAL" again. In
search mode DISC/NOTCH, you can only change sensitivity if you have first pushed the button "SENS".
• Detected objects are displayed with metal icons. When the metal detector finds an object, an arrow (5)
will appear under the material type that has probably been detected. If the detector receives a strong
signal, the arrow will be visible uninterruptedly. If the signal is weak, the arrow will flash or not appear at
all. The arrow is switched off again if nothing is detected for more than 5 seconds. These target displays
are only visual indications. You can then decide whether it is worth further exploring the object.
• The depth display (7) shows whether an object is directly under the earth or at a greater depth. The more
icons are shown in the line "Depth", the deeper will the object be. This measurement does, however,
strongly depend on the size and position of the object. The depth display is only an orientation aid.
