Chapter1–INTRODUCTION

TheAventurahandheldmetaldetectorcanbeusedinavarietyoflocationsfordifferent
purposes.Itcanbeusedby:
‐police,courts,prisonsandhighsecurityfacilities;
‐airportsecurity,bordercontrol,customs,militaryfacilitiesandsecuritycheckpoints;
‐publicplaceslikeconventionandexhibitioncenters,entertainmentandcultural
locations,sportsfacilities,etc.;
‐highsecurityfacilitieswherepreciousmetaldetectionisrequired,likemines,jewelry
factories,orotherfacilitiestopreventtheft;
‐medicalandfoodqualityinspection;
‐metaldetectioninfactories,sawmillorplaygrounds.

1.1.Precautions

Turnoffpowerafteruse.ThemetaldetectorhasagreenLEDthatwillstayonwhilethe
powerisON.Ifnotturnedoff,theLEDwilldrainthebattery.
Ifthemetaldetectorisinconstantcontactwithametalsurface,itwillnotsoundor
vibrate.Itwillsendalarmswhenusedforrepetitivescans.
Usecautionwhenchargingthebatteries.Useonlyrechargeablebatteries,asnon‐
rechargeableonescanexplodeandcausefire.
Ifexternalpowerisused,batteriescanberemoved.
Batteriesarenotincluded.IfbatteriesareusedAventurarecommendstheuseof
rechargeablebatteries.

1.2.Features

Thehandheldmetaldetectorhasthefollowingfeatures:
‐Streamlineappearance,smallandeasytocarry;
‐Easytouse,convenientandnoneedforadditionalsetting;
‐Batterylevelindicator;
‐Externalchargingportforcontinuousoperation;
‐AdjustableHighandLowsensitivitylevels.Lowsensitivitycanbeusedinareas
wherethere’stoomuchinterferencefromothermetalstructuresorobjects;
‐Shockresistant.Canwithstand40inches[1meter]drops;

2.2.Poweron

Thehandheldmetaldetectorhasapowerswitchwiththreepositions(seecallout10on
Image2.1.andTable2.1.a).ThecenterpositionwillturnOFFthepowertothedevice.TheUP
position(towardsthefrontofthewand)willturnthedeviceon,andwillenableonlythe
vibration.TheDOWNposition(towardsthebottomofthewand)willturnthedeviceon,andwill
enableonlythesoundalarm.
Whenthedeviceison,thegreenLEDwillturnonandwillblink(callout8),andwillstay
on(blink)untildeviceisturnedoff.
IfthepowerLEDdoesnotturngreen,orthereisacontinuoussoundorvibration,the
batteryisdepletedandneedstobereplaced.Replaceorrechargethebatteryandthentryagain.
Youcanalsocheckthelowbatteryindicator(seecallout2).IftheLEDisyellow,replacethe
battery.

2.3.Detectionandsensitivityscanning

Oncethepoweristurnedon,andthedeviceissettovibrationoraudioalarm,usethe
detectionareaofthemetaldetector(callout1).Ifmetalisdetected,thewandwillvibrateor
makeasound.
Therearealsotwovisualindicators:aredLED(callout3)andasignalstrengthindicator
(callout6).Thesewillautomaticallyturnononcemetalisdetected.
TheHighsensitivitycanbeusedindaytodayoperations.Inspecialcases,theLow
sensitivitycanbeused.Usethesensitivitybutton(callout9)toreducethewandsensitivityina
ratioof1:5(sensitivitywillbereducedfivetimes).Thisisrecommendedwhentheareaofinterest
issurroundedmymetalobjectsthatcouldtriggeranalarm.

2.4.Poweringandchargingthedevice

Thehandheldmetaldetectorhasthreewaysofoperation:battery,rechargeablebattery
andpoweredoperation.Nobatteriesaresuppliedwiththeunit.Theunitoperateswith9V(orE)
sizebatteries.
Beforebatteryinstallation,observethebatterypolarity.Thebatterysocketismarked
withPositive(+)andNegative(‐)symbols.
Whenusedwithnon‐rechargeablebatteries,donotconnecttheunittothe120Vac
[220Vac]charger.Thiscancauseafireorexplosion.
Whenusedwithrechargeablebatteries,theyellowLED(seecallout2)willindicatewhen
batteryisrunninglow.Connecttheunittothechargerusingthepowerjack(seecallout4).
Rechargingtimedependsontheselectedbatterycapacity.
Whenusedcontinuously,connectchargertotheunit.
