Nokta detectors Fors Gold User Manual
Page 12
The menu screen allows you to access all the FORS Gold settings. You can go to the menu
screen by pressing one of the up/down/+/- switches while on the main screen and adjust
the settings of the device. Now let's take a look at these settings:
MODE:
FORS Gold has 3 predefined search modes based on ground conditions and target type.
During your search, you can select one of these modes and quickly personalize its settings
in the menu if you want to.
The names of the search modes are abbreviated as GEN, DI3 and BST. Please read the
SEARCH MODES section for more details on modes (see pages 15-16).
SENSITIVITY:
It is the detection depth setting that controls the gain of the device. It is used to eliminate
the electromagnetic interference signals received from the surrounding environment as
well as ground noise.
Each mode has its own default sensitivity value in the menu. When you change the mode,
the sensitivity value preset for that mode is displayed. This does not affect the sensitivity
levels set by the user in other modes. For ideal settings and detailed information please
refer to the SENSITIVITY and THRESHOLD settings (page 21).
Sensitivity level can be adjusted from 1 to 99. The most ideal sensitivity level for each mode
has been preset by the factory. Sensitivity level may be changed manually when needed.
THRESHOLD:
Threshold is used to increase the target signals and thus the detection depth of the device.
In General Search mode, it adjusts the audible level of the constant background hum. For
more details on threshold, please refer to the SENSITIVITY and THRESHOLD settings
(page 21).
ID MASKING:
When the search coil passes over a target, if the target signal is strong enough, a 2-digit
target ID will be displayed on the numeric display as well as the LCD panel. Target ID ranges
from 0 to 99. Target ID is a number produced by the detector based on a target's
conductivity and it gives you an idea about what the target may be.
ID Masking is the ability of the detector to ignore (not produce a warning tone or ID)
unwanted targets. It provides ease of use by rejecting mineralized rocks (hot rocks) and
metals such as iron and foil.
