The strength of the GMAXX
2 Metal Detector from XP lies in two additional features:
Multi-Tones mode and the IRON LEVEL adjustement. XP chose
instantaneous sound signalling, rather than a LCD display
because of greater power of analysis of the human ear
compared to an LCD display. LCD displays cannot respond
in real time and do not capture weak signals that are
too brief or too close to other signals. G-Maxx sound
signalling provides real-time output of the most imperceptible
signal.
In Multi-Tones mode the signal tones vary depending upon
the object found. The pitch of signal depends upon conductivity,
the higher the conductivity, the higher the pitch. Iron
has a very special signature that can be recognized unmistakably.
We have assigned it a low-pitched sound together with
a volume setting (Iron Level) so that you can make the
tone more or less conspicuous. The volume setting only
affects the low-pitched tone (which has been assigned
to iron). This operating mode allows for improved analysis
and comprehension of the prospected area, e.g. in order
to find areas of former human occupancy. It also facilitates
recognition of large ferrous objects (such as old weapons).
Everybody will find a use for it. On certain types of
ground, especially those contaminated by copper sporting
rifle cartridges or little pieces of aluminum foil, G-Maxx
will can signal the presence of debris by means of a medium-pitched
tone, whereas as interesting targets will trigger a high-pitched
sound.
It is up to the user to decide whether or not to dig,
depending on how promising the area is, the type of target
he or she is looking for and the density of trash, since
certain small "noble" targets, such as very small coins,
may also trigger a medium sound. In addition to these
three basic tones, G-Maxx has another advantageous feature
: it can produce several different tones simultaneously
for targets in intermediate categories. Your ear will
eventually grow accustomed to this abundance of sounds.
Certain medium-sized ferrous masses that are usually hard
to identify are signaled by a simultaneous low/medium/high
pitch (except for very large ferrous masses, of course,
which generate a high pitch). It takes a little bit of
practice to accustom your ear to the various tones. If
the multiple tones bother you, you can disable that mode
and start using G-Maxx in the Mono-Tone mode as a conventional
detector. To do so, set the DISCRI potentiometer to 3
or 4, in order to search in the Mono-Tone mode while rejecting
ferrous objects.
