SENS Control/ON-OFF
The SENS control turns the instrument on/off and
selects the signal strength. Increased signal strength
does not always find more targets at greater depths.
Sometimes high ground mineralization will
"bounce" the signal back and mask good targets. It
is therefore necessary to ADJUST the SENS to give
you the maximum allowable SENS without mask-
ing targets or overloading
When ground mineralization is too high for the
SENS control setting, the display indicates
"OVERLOAD-REDUCE SENS/LIFT LOOP"
along with an audible "squawk". Reduce the SENS
until the overload warning ceases. On occasion,
while searching, you might sweep the loop over a
very large or very shallow target. The message on
the LCD display will read "OVERLOAD-RE-
DUCE SENS/LIFT LOOP". Sweep the loop a
little higher over the area and note the display and
audio indications. The M6 will self correct after the
message and you can continue to search as normal.
SENS Adjustment
1. The SENS control knob turns the M6 ON and
OFF and controls the SENS. Starting from the
POWER OFF position and going clockwise, the
power is turned ON and the dial increases the SENS
from a minimum level of 1 to a maximum level of
100+. Set the control to the "Initial Setting Tri-
angle" ( between level 90 & 100 ).
2. Although the setting of 90-100 gives more than
enough SENS, if the ground mineralization is low
enough, you might attempt to raise the SENS above
100.

NOTE: Ground Mineralization too high, large or shallow target
message.
