The X-Terra 70 is highly sensitive and has
a wide Sensitivity adjustment range. It is
important to set the correct Sensitivity
level for your detecting conditions.
Sensitivity is the detector’s level
of response to a target and its
environment. Real targets are indicated
by distinct beeps. Interference or false
targets are interpreted as crackling or
popping sounds.
Tiny ferrous junk targets might be
detected when the Sensitivity is set to
a high level. The detector will also be
affected by minerals in certain soils and
signals from electrical appliances.
Some experimentation with the
Sensitivity scale may be required for
different areas. For beginners, start with
a low setting and increase it progressively.
Decreasing the Sensitivity of the X-Terra
70 may stabilise the detector, reducing
false signals and interference, and
assisting in differentiating between
signals caused by soil mineralisation and
those of metal targets. Always choose
the highest stable Sensitivity setting to
ensure optimum performance.
For beach detecting, a setting below 15
may be required. In high trash areas, such
as modern parks, a setting below 9 may
be required, especially when searching
for shallow coins.
The highest Sensitivity settings, 22-30,
should be used only in the quietest,
most stable conditions.
