4. Opsætning
4.1 Montering
- Attach the search coil to the lower stem using the provided bolt and nut. Ensure it is securely fastened but do not overtighten.
- 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.
- Wrap the coil cable snugly around the stem, leaving enough slack for coil movement, and plug it into the control box.
- Adjust the armrest to a comfortable position for your arm length.
4.2 Batteriinstallation og opladning
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. Driftstilstande
The Equinox 800 offers 4 Detect Modes, each optimized for specific detecting conditions:
- Park -tilstand: Ideal for high-trash areas like parks and urban environments.
- Felttilstand: Suitable for open fields and agricultural land, offering good depth and target separation.
- Strandtilstand: 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. Grundlæggende betjening
6.1 Tænd/sluk
Press and hold the Power button (usually located on the control box) to turn the detector ON or OFF.
6.2 Lydstyrkejustering
Use the Volume buttons (typically '+' and '-' symbols) to increase or decrease the audio output level.
6.3 Følsomhedsjustering
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 Jordbalance
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. Avancerede indstillinger
7.1 Forskelsbehandling
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. Vedligeholdelse
- Rensning: Tør detektoren af med en klud efter hver brug.amp klæde. Undgå at bruge skrappe kemikalier.
- Opbevaring: Opbevar detektoren et køligt, tørt sted væk fra direkte sollys og ekstreme temperaturer.
- Batteripleje: Ved langtidsopbevaring skal du sørge for, at batteriet er delvist opladet (ca. 50%), og genoplade det med et par måneders mellemrum for at opretholde batteriets tilstand.
9. Fejlfinding
9.1 Excessive False Signals
If your detector is producing excessive false signals, consider the following:
- Lavere følsomhed: 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.
- Miljøforstyrrelser: 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.
