GLOSSARY OF TERMS
GLOSSARY OF TERMS
Iron Mask One of the Explorer II’s Smartfind displays. The Iron Mask
function rejects objects with ferrous properties. This level of
ferrous rejection is represented with a dark ‘curtain’ which moves
across the horizontal dimension of the Smartfind screen as the
Iron Mask is adjusted.
Learn One of Explorer II’s Advanced displays. Learn allows the user to
accept or reject certain targets to create a personalized
discrimination pattern.
Mineralized ground Ground containing certain minerals which can cause false signals
to be given. Mineralized ground is handled automatically by the
Explorer’s ground compensation.
Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) Nickel Metal Hydride batteries are the modern equivalent of older
NiCad (Nickel Cadmium) batteries. NiMH batteries have a longer
life-span and are not affected by memory to the same degree.
Non-ferrous Not containing iron. Non-ferrous objects or non-magnetic metals
(such as silver or copper coins, gold jewelry, etc).
Pinpoint Function allowing an object to be precisely located. Pinpoint
overrides the automatic motion detection and discrimination
settings of the Explorer II.
Quickstart mode The Explorer II’s basic operating mode.
Recovery Recovery, one of the Explorer II’s Advanced options, allows the
user to modify the way the discrimination process works and
affects the audio and display responses to target characteristics.
Response The signal or audible indication of a target. Also a menu affecting
the audio response of the detector.
Search coil The search coil is the circular plate swept across the ground
surface during detecting. It transmits electromagnetic signals into
