Main Parts of the Metal Detector
Search Coil - this is actually an antenna that emits and receives LF (Low Frequency) radio
waves. If a metal object is present in the range of the radio signal, the I/O ratio changes
and the detector produces a sound. The search coil is connected to the electronics block
by a special heavy-duty cable and special golden-plated plug.
S-stick - the S-stick consists of three parts - lower stem, middle stem and handle. The
lower and middle stems are made of carbon fibre, while the handle is made of aluminium.
The armrest is a special part of the stem, where you put your arm for stability and comfort.
NOTE: There is a new telescopic 100% carbon stem available on request. It is not the kit
stem for the 1-series, but could be ordered separately or within a special edition.
Control Box - contains the electronics board of the detector and the control knobs (po-
tentiometers) to control how the detector behaves.
Battery Compartment - a plastic box for the batteries. The detector is powered by 10
pcs of standard-sized 1.2V NiMH rechargeable batteries with capacity of 1000mAh each.
They are not soldered and could be replaced at any time. The detector is able to work also
with standard 1.5V Alkaline batteries. Old-fashion zinc-carbon batteries are not good to
use with your detector.
On the battery compartment there are two jacks - one for the batteries charging and one
for connecting wired headphones.
Operating the Golden Mask series 1 metal
detectors
On/Off Volume (1)
By rotating the knob clockwise, you switch the detector on. After the detector is switched
on, you rise-up the sound volume by further rotating the knob clockwise. To switch off the
detector, turn the know counter clockwise until you hear a click and a sound.
NOTE: At the time of writing this, the GM1 8kHz is sold with a different control box and
without a separate volume control knob.
Sensitivity (2)
This knob is used to adjust the detector sensitivity. The recommended value is indicated in
red, but depending on temperature, moisture and electromagnetic fields within the area
you are searching in, the actual best value may be different. To adjust the sensitivity to the
best value, just rotate the know slowly to the right (clockwise) until you hear the generator
background sound - at this setting the detector achieves maximum depth without lost of
comfort for the operator.
