SEARCH SYSTEMS
- Automatic Long-Range Locator [AUTO LRL]
AUTO LRL search system uses a special probe called the Intelligent Multi Transceiver Unit or I.M.T.U, to search for the signals of potential targets within the long-range scanning field and the reflected signals are received through a pair of antennas.
It is an advanced search system that covers large regions of the search area and this system can automatically identify all types of buried metals within a scanning area of up to 3000 m and depths up to 100 m, and display the results in the form of values that indicate the percentage of detected targets in the surround of the prospector.
Here is a list of settings that can be adjusted by the user:
- Distance
It is the distance in front-range or direction of search and can be set in 0 – 3000 m range
- Depth
It is the maximum depth of possible targets that the device can reach to find potential targets, its value can be set in 0 – 100 m range
After selecting previous settings the user can start the search process, and during the search, the antennas will move left or right depending on possible nearby targets, a visual indicator on the screen will guide the user as it displays left or right progress bar with gradient colors from green (minimum) to red(maximum value) depending on progress bar value.
The user must track the movement of antennas tell he got the best signals and after finishing he can move to the next screen “Report” screen that will display a visual report about the possible target as four horizontal bars (gold – silver – iron – diamond), every bar will display an estimated percentage value that indicates the probability of target composition.
- Control Long-Range Locator [CTRL LRL]
The frequency control system is one of the new technologies and important features that have been incorporated into Infinity Max Pro, which enables the user to choose the exact value of the search frequency to search for any type of targets that the prospector tries to reach and find, thus ensuring more accurate results.
When searching using this system, the user can also set various other values and settings related to the search, which are search frequency, soil type, and front distance as it is detailed below:
- Soil Type
It is the type of soil and can be set depending on the ground that the prospectors search in it, and can be set to one of the following types:
Rock – Mixed – Neutral – Clay – Metallic – Sandy
- Frequency
Users can set the custom search frequency value manually using this option.
The values range is between 100 and 5000 MHz
- Distance
It is the maximum distance between the user location and the target position during the searching process. It means that the user can search custom circular distance around himself and this distance starts from 0 to 3000 m.
- Depth
It is the maximum depth of possible targets that the device can reach to find potential targets, its value can be set in 0 – 50 m range
After adjusting all of the previous settings the user moves to the scan screen and presses the “start scan” button to begin the search process.
The results screen will display a circular indicator, the direction arrow reflects the direction of antennas in degrees, beneath it the signal graph and on the right the inclination bar (alignment tool) that explained previously.
A small digital compass is displayed in top-left corner of the screen that points to the north.
- Manual Long-Range Locator [MANUAL LRL]
This search system uses the Intelligent Multi Transceiver Unit or I.M.T.U, which sends high-frequency wave signals in the direction of the search, and the reflected signals are received through a pair of antennas, in this system, it is possible to specify the type of program of the target to be searched for, this option means that the device does not receive any signal except for the target signal that has been selected, with options to set the front distance up to 3000 m and the depth up to 50 m before starting the search, this system contains 11 separate search programs, which can be selected from the list of targets.
In this system, the search values and settings are manually adjusted by the user according to his preferences before starting the search, and the following values can be adjusted:
- Target
Users can choose the target type, which means a type of metal the target is made of, and they can choose from preset search programs that include all types of ferrous and non-ferrous metals
Examples: gold – silver – copper – diamonds – gemstones
- Distance
The distance value reflects the scanning field in the forward direction, and the value can be chosen accurately within a range between 0 – 3000 meters
- Depth
It is the value of the maximum search depth that can be accessed through the current search settings, and the value can be set precisely within the range from 0 to 50 meters.
After adjusting the previous search settings, a digital compass appears on the device’s screen, containing an indicator indicating the direction of the device (for example, towards the north), with a graded indicator in the form of a semicircle that represents the direction of movement of the antennas according to the user’s movement when searching.
Among the important features that allow the user to accurately and correctly adjust the angle of inclination of the device is the gradient tilt indicator, which represents the degree of inclination of the device from the horizon, the green color indicates the correct values and the red color for the wrong values of the inclination angle.
- Ionic System [IONIC]
The ionic system has been developed according to a completely new technology, which is the first of its kind in metal detectors, and is a major development from the traditional system found in Mega Detection and competing devices as well, as the new technology allows accurate detection of ionic fields resulting from metal targets buried underground, thanks to the Intelligent Multi Transceiver Unit (I.M.T.U) that ensures accurate reception and processing of signals, with the ability to control some signal settings on the screen to obtain more accurate results.
After selecting the ionic system, the device will start searching directly here are the possible settings that can be set:
- Sensitivity
During the search process and according to the target scanning, the ionic system will make a special scan sound and it represents the targeting ability or the distance between the user and the target.
The user can change the value of sensitivity to analyze the output sound, its value range is between 0 and 100.
- Gain
It is the signal gain or in other words signal strength, the user can control the signal strength using this option, and it is presented as a percentage value (0-100).
Generally, to set the device to detect large size targets, reduce this value and increase this value for detection of small targets.
The previous values presented in the result screen as circular percentage indicators on the right side and signal power indicator displayed below, there is also a save option to save results into device memory.
- Bionic System [BIONIC]
This search system is similar to the ionic search system in how it works and uses the Intelligent Multi Transceiver Unit (I.M.T.U) to perform the scan.
The difference here is that ionic signals are captured from a specific metallic object.
For example, from gold, then the search is directed towards capturing ionic signals similar to metal objects buried underground within the surrounding area.
After selecting the ionic system and pointing the IMTU to a specific target made of the metal that will be searched for, the device will start searching in direction of user movement and there are some options as in the Ionic system can be adjusted:
- Sensitivity
The user can change the value of sensitivity to analyze the output sound, its value range is between 0 and 100.
- Gain
It is the signal gain or in other words signal strength, the user can control the signal strength using this option, and it is presented as a percentage value (0-100).
Generally, to set the device to detect large size targets, reduce this value and increase
this value for the detection of small targets.
The previous values are presented in the result screen as circular percentage indicators on right and left sides and the signal power indicator is displayed below, there is also a save option to save results.
- Smart Detection System [SMART DETECT]
A Smart detect system is a perfect choice for prospectors to find natural gold nuggets, small relics, jewelry, coins, and other metal types at small depths of about 3 meters or less.
Developed with enhanced technology in terms of features, metal discrimination, and two search coils (PS36, PS28) to offer the best performance in all terrain and soil types.
When searching with the smart detection system there are two sub-modes that correspond to each search coil:
1 – Mode 1 / PS36
Use the PS36 [a coil with 36 cm diameter] to detect targets, the device display a screen that includes indicators and buttons through which the detection settings and options can be set, as follows:
- Calibration
By selecting this button and pressing the OK button, the user can perform a calibration of the coils before starting the search, for more accurate results.
- Detection Mode
Choosing the detection mode is done by activating one of the three buttons corresponding to detection mode, which are:
1 – All Metals
It is a general detection mode, by activating it, the device can receive signals from ferrous and non-ferrous metal targets.
2 – Non-Ferrous
By activating this detection mode, the device will filter the signals to receive signals of non-ferrous metal targets only such as gold, silver, and copper, meaning that the device ignores the signals of targets made of ferrous materials
3 – Ferrous
This detection mode is opposite to the previous model, where the device receives signals from iron targets only, such as iron, and ignores the signals of other metals
- Sound
The sound that comes out through the internal speaker on the device is enabled or not through this option, which is useful in the case that the user wants to know the type of target through the digital indicator without hearing the sound like in noisy environments.
- Target ID Indicator
It is a circular digital graphic indicator that displays in the center of the circle a number called the digital target identifier (Target ID) corresponding to a specific type of metal such as gold.
On both sides of the circle, there are two symmetrical semi-circular indicators made up of bars that are gradually colored from bottom to top according to the strength of the target signal and according to the selected detection mode.
In the case of the All Metal detection mode, the left semicircular indicator is activated only if the target is non-ferrous and is in gradual colors from yellow to red, however in the case of a ferrous target, the right indicator is activated only, and the color gradient is from green to blue.
In the case of the Non-Ferrous detection mode, the two indicators are activated in gradual colors from yellow to red (the number of colored bars depends on signal strength).
In the case of Ferrous mode, the two indicators are activated in gradual colors from green to blue.
- Threshold
This option can control the threshold of the sound of the received signals, user can set it using a vertical indicator with values from 1 to 6, it increases with a number that means a higher threshold value corresponds to hearing weakest signals for example coming from very small gold nuggets.
2 – Mode 2 / PS28
Use the PS28 [a coil with 28 cm diameter] to detect targets, the device displays a screen that includes two vertical indicators on the sides and a graphical indicator in middle.
The explanation of these indicators is as follows:
- Sensitivity
The left vertical indicator defines sensitivity level, the user can set it to one of 9 levels, the higher the sensitivity value corresponding to the detection of smaller targets and vice versa.
- Threshold
It is a right-side vertical indicator that defines threshold value, user can set it to one of 9 values the higher the value corresponding to hearing sounds of smallest targets, and the smallest values match the hearing sound of larger targets.
- Signal Indicator
It is a graphical indicator in the middle of the screen, display a Target ID number and FE / NONFE indicators that are enabled based on metal type ( ferrous or non-ferrous), plus the visual signal indicator which displays a set of circles with increasing diameters from top to bottom that light up (activated) based on the signal strength of the detected target.
