TECHNICAL INTRODUCTION
The XP Dēus is innovative in terms of metal detector design as it oers a unique design based on three
elements communicating via a digital radio link. The search coil, remote control and headphones
have each been made independent through the integration of very compact, high-capacity lithium
batteries.
An ultra-miniature electronic circuit, incorporated into the search coil, digitises and analyses the
signals. Data is then sent to the headphones and remote control in real time via a digital radio link.
With this method, the signal is processed at source and not conveyed via a wire link, which greatly
improves data quality.
Incorporating components from leading-edge technologies such as scientic instrumentation has
enabled us to produce a powerful, rapid, lightweight, compact and fully controllable digital detector.
Whether you are an experienced user or a beginner, the Dēus lets you decide whether or not to
modify any of its settings. Powerful pre-congured factory programs enable all users to get started
immediately, while expert detectorists can choose more advanced parameters via the intuitive inter-
face.
What is described in this manual as the "Remote Control" is in fact the user interface, known as the
‘control box’ on conventional detectors. It enables the detector’s many functions to be precisely
adjusted via a graphical interface. It can also receive program updates (via internet) through its USB
socket.
The Dēus is also exceptional in being able to function without the remote control, with just the
coil and the wireless headphones, for an even more compact, lightweight conguration !
Like the remote control, the headphones contain all the components needed for detection, they
are a genuine control unit in themselves, but on an ultra-miniature scale and rain proof. They take
over in the absence of the remote control for adjusting the detector settings.With the headphones
you can turn the Dēus on and o, change the main detection settings such as sensitivity, discrimina-
tion, ground balance, tone, frequency (from 4 to 80 kHz depending on the selected search coil ),
volume, etc. as well as selecting the factory programs or those previously congured with the remote
control !
Performance is identical whether you are searching with or without the remote control !
Lastly, the new patented XP stem has the combined advantages of an S-shaped stem and a straight
telescopic stem. It enables you to deploy or fold away the device in just a few seconds, and to change
the coil in an instant. Its user-friendly design ensures comfort and convenience for the user: length
adjustable by millimetre increments, improved operating angle and shaped rubber handle for a rm,
controlled grip.
So now you’re ready for a new adventure!
You have invested in a high-tech metal detector capable of exceptional performance, which has
been designed and developed in France. You are therefore helping our Company to further
expand our research in the eld of metal detecting and we thank you for your contribution.

HOT «The Pro setting» this is a nd everything program,based on the Full
Tone audio mode with a very low discrimination. Hot is a very interactive
program oering excellent feedback and target information.
GOLD FIELD uses another detection method designed for searching
highly mineralised ground which is often where gold nuggets are
found. In these conditions, targets can be seen as ground mineralisa-
tion or ferrous objects, especially when they are deep. To go deeper in
these dicult conditions, the "Gold Field" program uses a true All Metal
mode that allows you to accept a zone of ground that is usually not
available. Instead of rejecting all the ground values below a predened
value (as on conventional detectors), it rejects only the specic value
of ground in which you are searching, which means you have to adjust
precisely. To facilitate the ground balance (essential in this program),
*pressing will make an immediate acquisition of the ground value
within one or 2 pumps of the coil.
In this program certain settings are not active or are replaced by the
another specic setting such as:
- The IAR discrimination (Iron Amplitude Rejection): A range of
discrimination that can be applied from 0 to 5. It applies only to targets
that produce strong signals – typically shallow ferrous items. It will
not reject deeper targets which may come across as ferrous when
they are buried in mineralised ground to ensure good targets are
notrejected by mistake.
* Immediate acquisition of the ground value (Grab) is performed simply
by pressing (while pumping the coil to & from the ground).
The digital target display is active, this allows the operator to
work in All Metal mode with a visual recognition (valid on shallow targets).

Increasing the discrimination value enables you to gradually reject any target whose conductivity is
lower than the setting. For example, if you tune the discrimination level to 10, you will reject iron with
a value of between 0 and 10. If you tune it to 40 you will also eliminate small pieces of aluminium
foil whose conductivity is less than 40.If you wish to reject other rubbish with higher conductivity, such
as pull tabs from aluminium drinks cans, lead shot or copper hunting cartridges (whose conductivity is
60-75), you must also be prepared to accept the elimination of certain good metals with similar conduc-
tivity.If you are particularly bothered by contamination registering as highly conductive on the digital
screen, and you still wish to reject it, it is betterto do so using the NOTCH rejection setting.
Two alternatives involve selecting a low level of discrimination, between 5 and 10, then using either:
- 1/ The digital target display to more or less visually discriminate a target category.
- 2/ The Multi-tone mode to discriminate undesirable targets using a selected audio tone.
In both cases the decision then lies with you on whether or not to dig.

Depending on the frequency setting used, a target’s conductivity
is perceived dierently by the detector. The digital conductivity display
may therefore vary depending on the frequency.
The 0 to 10 range relates to the rejection of iron. To achieve greater
precision in this range there is a digit after the decimal point (from -6.4 to 9.9).
In several menus, particularly at the top left of the Discrimination
screen, a reminder of the target conductivity index is displayed, which helps
you when adjusting the discrimination level.

DISC IAR
The program N°10 GOLD FIELD uses another discrimination method, called IAR (Iron
Amplitude Rejection): the range of discrimination can be applied from 0 to 5. It
applies only to targets that produce strong signals – typically shallow ferrous items. It
will not reject deeper targetswhich may come across as ferrous when they are buried
in mineralisedground, to ensure good targets are not rejected by mistake. Higher
discrimination values, enable the detector to reject deeper ferrous. Gold nuggets
buried deep in mineralised ground can generate a similar signal to a ferrous item, so
in this case it is better to reduce the level of discrimination.
Sensitivity is often simplistically described as the setting which adjusts the
device’s power level. However this is incorrect. As its name indicates, it actually
determines the device’s sensitivity level. It reacts after receiving a signal via the
receiver coil. Nevertheless, the results are somewhat similar in practice, as increasing a device’s sensiti-
vity enables it to detect the presence of more distant targets. However it must be noted that this
setting has no eect on the power emitted.
The most commonly used sensitivity levels range from 70 to 90. It may be necessary to reduce the
level if there is too much interference, as is often the case near overhead or buried power lines, fences,
radio-relay stations, mobile telephones, computers, televisions, etc.
Do not test your device in your home as there is considerable electromagnetic and metal interference
in urban environments.

The Dēus gives you the choice of several detection frequencies from 4 to 80 kHz
depending on the selected coil. The frequencies enable you to adapt your
research more closely to the characteristics of the ground and desired targets.
Here is a brief list of the most likely targets that may be detected according to the frequency:
If you are just starting out, the 8 kHz frequency is a good compromise for general use. On a
wet beach the 18 kHz frequency will be better at nding small gold jewellery such as chain necklaces
and bracelets that are usually so dicult to detect.

If the discrimination threshold is too low, 0 or 2 for example, most iron will generate not
low- but medium-pitched tones, as you will practically be in the All Metal mode. In this case,
the iron level setting will have very little function.
10
MENU
On the other hand, some users prefer to make the low-pitched signals from iron more audible, as they
know that some good targets at the detector’s depth limit in mineralised ground can sometimes
generate a low-pitched sound.
You have the option of controlling the volume of the low-pitched tone which
generally corresponds to iron . Depending on the circumstances, sometimes
reducing the iron volume can make the user more aware of non ferrous targets.
If the soil contains a great deal of iron, hot rocks or other mineralised debris, soil penetration can be
drastically reduced. In these conditions, The Dēus enables you to select a high degree of reactivity
which will help you speed up the analysis of signals.
On the other hand, if the ground is "clean", it is better to reduce the Reactivity and sweep slowly, in
order to make the machine more sensitive to deep masses and obtain better soil penetration.
Users familiar with the Gold Maxx Power have already experienced the advantages of the XP Reacti-
vity (recovery speed). And even though the Dēus is a particularly fast and selective detector, you now
have the option of adjusting the reactivity setting to make it even more selective!
To help you better understand the reactivity levels available, you should note that the reactivity of
most detectors on the market, generally only have an equivalent to level of 1 compared to the the
Dēus.
The Gold Maxx Power has a reactivity equivalent to level 2 of the Dēus.
The Reactivity is a vital setting that determines the detector’s performance in
terms of how quickly it analyses the signal from detected objects and its ability
to separate the signal response from two targets located close together. This is
also known as Recovery speed.

In terms of pure performance, the greatest detection ranges are obtained with low reactivity
levels. However, you will nd more targets and will detect deeper on mineralised ground
with medium or high reactivity levels.
For optimum performance adjust your reactivity to suit your search conditions.
Depending on the reactivity level, you will notice that the length of the audio signal varies
when it passes over a target:
Low reactivity (0 to 2) = long sound High reactivity (2.5 to 5) = short sound
Evidently the length of any false signals (the crackling of iron for example) will vary proportionately
as well.
You are therefore advised not to constantly change the reactivity level, as this may interfere
with your ability to distinguish good and bad sounds.
With a medium Reactivity level, you begin
detecting the ring.

The Audio Response enables you to amplify the volume of deep targets . It gives
the impression of greater power, however it does not provide any additional
depth as this setting only aects the sound curve (the dynamic range of
sounds).Lower Audio response levels give a good perception of depth
The Notch complements the discrimination: it enables a "target window" to be
rejected whereas discrimination rejects all targets below a selected threshold.
For example, if you detect a redundant, undesirable target in the ground, you
can decide just to reject the corresponding conductivity group and continue to
detect targets with a conductivity higher or lower than those in the group.
The dierent levels of soil mineralisation you encounter when prospecting can sometimes aect the
performance of your detector. For example, this may be due to natural magnetic mineralisation such as
iron oxide, hot rocks and magnetite, or sporadic mineralisation from sites of former human settlement
(also magnetic): hearths, pottery, hot rocks, slag, etc. At the seashore this may also involve mineralisation
ranging from magnetic grade (black sand) to electrical conductor grade (salt water) depending on
the beach or region.
If you are an experienced detectorist you may wish to optimise your searches to achieve better
penetration in some of these mineralised soils.
In magnetic ground with relatively uniform mineralisation, a setting which is adjusted according to
the ground eect will improve penetration by reducing the amplitude of the ground signals sent back by
the receiver circuits. This ‘adapted setting’ involves adjusting your ground balance value to the
average value of the ground being detected, while adding
1 so as not to hear the ground signals as much. The tracking and pumping modes do this automatically
if the ground conditions allow it. With the Prog.10 Gold Field it is vital to set the machine exactly to
the value of the ground.
GROUND

As the ground balance setting is the one requiring the most experience, we recommend that
you read this chapter and use the dierent ground balance modes carefully, while acquiring your
own experience of the ground. By default, remain in manual mode at level 90 for inland or dry sand.
On wet beach reduce the level from 25 to 27.
If the ground is not mineralised (see below the bargraph : Mineralisation strength) there is no
need to adjust your ground balance to a level other than 90: since the ground does not send back
any signicant spurious echo, the performance will be optimal even at level 90 and you will reduce
interference resulting from knocks to the coil.
On the main menu, two values are permanently displayed:

is low, there is less of a need to make any adjustments.

You can manually adjust the ground rejection levels from 60 to 95 (Beach O mode) or from 0 to 30 (Beach On mode)
Each ground rejection level from 60 to 95 receives additional units of ne adjustment to allow better
ground tracking.
By reducing G.B towards 87 you will begin detecting hot rocks, and knocks to the coil may result in false
signals. Even lower, between 75/85, pottery and the ground itself will begin interfering with your device.
If you are inexperienced in working with ground eects, we strongly suggest that you limit yourself to
a Ground Balance level of 90, which is the default setting, and is the most stable reference level recom-
mended for inland ground. Levels lower than 90 will result in increasing instability.

Pumping is a semi-automatic process which allows you to adjust the ground
balance in a zone that you wish to search and have determined it as being an
overall average soil type. Henceforth, the measured value of the ground is
entered into the memory and used as the new active ground balance value.
If this value is unsuitable, or if it generates too much instability, you can repeat
the process in a dierent zone or switch to manual mode adding several extra
rejection points.

If a metal target is detected while you are pumping, the Dēus will recognise this and display the
message " GB FAIL" It will then retain the previous ground balance value. This problem is generally caused
by iron being present. If this is the case then move to another location and restart the pumping
In low- or non-mineralised ground, there is no need to adjust the ground balance and you are
advised to remain on 90 for greater stability.
The program 10 GOLD FIELD is adapted specically to search for gold nuggets in
mineralised soils or likely gold areas. These areas are dicult to prospect with
conventional detectors. The reason for this being the presence of ferromagnetic
metals, they hide gold nuggets. Program n°10 GOLD FIELD uses another
technique dierent from conventional detectors which cannot achieve an
accurate ground balance in such extreme conditions.

interspersed with soil that is neutral or characterised by diverse mineralisation. This may be to such an
extent that any mean value would be meaningless. You must then determine an acceptable level of
rejection for the ground based on your own experience of the site, your detection methods and the
interference that you are prepared to tolerate.
In this mode, the Dēus repeatedly scans the ground and digitally lters the
extracted signals to determine the mean value on a continual basis. This mode
may be useful in soils with relatively uniform mineralisation, and where the
mineralisation varies gradually from zone to zone, which is often the case in
naturally mineralised ground. In this case, the Dēus automatically readjusts the
ground balance according to the most recent value measured.
Low ground balance levels also generate the clearest signals on certain irons targets that are
already dicult to eliminate.

Regularly, press to re-Tune the threshold (coil barely o the ground
2 to 5 cm/ 1 to 2 inches) . How frequently you recalibrate will be linked to
ground variations or temperature.
On Wet Beach, select program 7 before using the Non Motion Mode
and use Non-Motion Audio Disc mode with G.B. at 15/27.
Position the coil barely o the ground (2 to 5 cm/ 1 to 2 inches).
Set the Sensitivity to stabilize the detector during sweeping. Then
adjust the Tune to obtain an audio threshold barely audible.

Move the coil slowly across
the target. The loudest
sound and highest audio
pitch indicates the target
position.
To narrow the eld of
detection and to improve
the target location:
Position the coil, close to
the target but not on the
center. Press to re-tune
the threshold then locate
the target as step 2.

and/or to update the threshold(re-TUNE).
The non - motion mode allows the user to operate the coil motionless above a target. It is useful
to locate metal targets inside houses, cellars; also it is widely used to follow underground metal pipes.
