Frequently Asked Questions - TS156A Vevor

How to turn on the TS156A metal detector?

Turn the POWER/VOLUME knob clockwise until you hear a click. The detector is then on. To increase volume, continue turning the knob clockwise.

What detection modes are available?

The detector offers two modes: All Metals (detection of all metals, maximum depth) and Discrimination (allows ignoring certain metals like iron, nickel, or zinc depending on the ALL METALS/DISC knob setting).

How to replace the detector batteries?

First turn off the detector. Slide the battery compartment cover down to remove it. Replace the 6 used batteries with new AA (1.5 V) batteries, respecting the indicated polarities. Close the cover.

What to do if the low battery indicator lights up?

The low battery indicator lights up when the batteries are insufficiently charged. Replace the batteries with new ones immediately to avoid performance degradation or detector failure.

How to use Discrimination mode?

Turn the ALL METALS/DISC knob to the 'ALL METALS' position, then turn it clockwise until you hear a click to enter Discrimination mode. Then adjust the knob to ignore unwanted metals: for example, set to 12 o'clock to ignore iron, 3 o'clock to ignore nickel, 5 o'clock to ignore zinc penny.

What is the meaning of the two sound tones?

The detector emits a 660 Hz tone when detecting a ferrous metal (like iron) and a 2000 Hz tone for a non-ferrous metal (like silver or copper). This helps identify the type of metal detected.

Can I use headphones with the detector?

Yes, the detector is equipped with a 3.5 mm headphone jack. Plug in your headphones and the built-in speaker will be automatically disabled. Caution: do not use headphones near traffic for safety reasons.

How to adjust the detector sensitivity?

Use the SENS knob: turn it clockwise to increase sensitivity (deeper detection) and counterclockwise to decrease it. Start with a high setting, then reduce if interference occurs.

What to do if the detector does not work normally?

First check the batteries: replace them if the indicator is on. Make sure the search coil is properly connected. Move away from interference sources (TV, computers). If the problem persists, contact Vevor support at [e-mail].

3. ALL METALS/DISC Knob

Counterclockwise turn this ALL METALS/DISC knob to the "ALL METALS" position. The knob clicks and the detector stays in the ALL METALS detection mode.

When this knob is in the "ALL METALS" position, clockwise turn it and, after clicks, the detector is in the DISCRIMINATION (DISC) mode.

4. POWER/VOLUME Knob

Used to turn on or off the detector or select a desired alarm volume.

To turn on the detector, clockwise turn this POWER/VOLUME knob until it clicks. Continue to clockwise turn this knob to increase the alarm volume.

To decrease the alarm volume, turn this knob counterclockwise. To turn off the detector, turn this knob counterclockwise until it clicks.

5. SENS Knob

Used to adjust the sensitivity of the detector.

You can turn the SENS knob clockwise to increase sensitivity, or counterclockwise to decrease sensitivity.

6. Low Battery Indicator

When the batteries are not sufficiently charged, this low battery indicator will light up to alert you, and you must replace the batteries immediately; otherwise, the detector's detecting ability will decrease or the detector will not be able to work normally.

Preparation prior to metal detection

Before beginning an outside search, test the detector with the following metal samples:

• An iron nail • A five-cent coin (nickel) • A one-cent penny (zinc coin, after 1982) • A 25-cent silver quarter

Figure 6

Place the metal detector on a wooden or plastic table with the search coil perpendicular to the table surface (see Figure 6). Make sure the table is away from TVs, computers, or any device that can cause electromagnetic interference.

Note: To avoid interference, remove any watches, rings, or other metal objects from your fingers and hands.

Testing the detector in the ALL METALS mode

Turn the ALL METALS/DISC knob counterclockwise until it clicks. Now the detector is in the ALL METALS mode. Gently turn the SENS knob completely clockwise until it reaches the end.

Now the detection sensitivity is at the highest level. Refer to Figure 6, and pass the metal samples (the iron nail and 3 coins) across the search coil at a distance of 5 cm to 8 cm. When any of the metal samples passes across the coil, the detector should beep and the meter pointer should deflect rightwards. When the detector stops sounding, the meter pointer should return to its original position quickly.

The ALL METALS mode allows the detector to achieve the maximum detection depth possible.

Note: During test, the metal sample which you are using must be in motion; otherwise the detector will not respond to this metal sample.

Testing the detector in the DISCRIMINATION mode

Note:

The Figure 7 on the right shows the knob positions for some often encountered metals. If the ALL METALS/DIS knob is in one of these positions, the corresponding metal will be ignored during scanning. The specifications or descriptions on the figure are not accurate and are for non-critical reference only.

Figure 7. The ALL METALS/DISC Knob

Make sure that the ALL METALS/DISC knob is in the "ALL METALS" position, then turn the knob clockwise until it clicks. Now the detector is already in the DISCRIMINATION mode. In this mode, you can use the ALL METALS/DISC knob to search for specific metals by having it ignore other kinds of metals. At the present knob position, where the knob just clicked, the detector will respond to ANY metal object and the meter pointer will swing to the right when the detector beeps.

1. To adjust the settings to prevent the metal detector from detecting iron, set both the VOLUME knob and SENS knob at midpoint (or a higher setting).
2. Then set the ALL METALS/DISC knob to about "12 o'clock". See Figure 8.

Figure 8. The ALL METALS/DISC Knob

1. As a test, sweep the iron nail sample across the search coil at a distance of about 5 cm to 7.5 cm. The detector will not beep and the metal pointer will not move, but the other metal samples (the three coins) will cause the detector to beep and the meter pointer to deflect rightwards when they are respectively swept across the search coil.
2. To have the metal detector ignore nickel metals, set the ALL METALS/DISC knob to about "3 o'clock" (see Figure 9). Sweep the nickel across the search coil at a distance of about 5 cm to 7.5 cm; the metal detector will not respond to nickel or the iron nail. But it will respond to the other samples.

DISC

Figure 9. The ALL METALS/DISC Knob

1. To prevent the zinc penny from being detected, set the ALL METALS/DISC knob to about "5 o'clock" (see Figure 10). By now, only the 25-cent coins should be detected.

Figure 10. The ALL METALS/DISC Knob

Note: The discrimination position of aluminum is similar to that of silver. So these metals will be detected at the same time. The discrimination position of gold is similar to the nickel setting.

Through the above tests, you can quickly know the performance of the detector and know how to use the detector.

Tip: During testing, the metal sample which you are using must be in motion.

Detecting metallic objects with the detector

Figure 11. Detecting Metallic Object

After you finish all the tests mentioned above and have set the detector to your need, you can start to detect metallic objects.

Turn on the detector, and set it in the ALL METALS mode. Adjust the SENS to a desired sensitivity setting, and be far away from any external interference source.

During detection, keep the search coil height approximately 3 cm to 5 cm above ground and parallel to the ground at all times for best detection results. Walk as you scan slowly, moving the search coil in a straight line from side to side.

When you detect a metallic object, you can use the DISCRIMINATION mode for further identification or discrimination, if necessary.

Metal detection is a careful, difficult job. Because there may be iron nails, metal oxides, and metal scraps in soil, it may be necessary to perform detection multiple times in the same location to get an accurate result, especially in an area where the soil contains complex mineral substances.

Note:

1. Because many factors (degree of oxidation of metallic object, metal impurities

in soil, soil moisture content, etc.) can affect metal detection/identification. In DISCRIMINATION mode, the results of metal identification/discrimination are not guaranteed to be correct.

1. During detection, the search coil must be in motion. If the search coil is stationary, the detector cannot detect metal normally.
2. The detector can work with the earphone (optional). To use the earphone, insert the plug of the earphone into the earphone jack on the control box; the loudspeaker in the control box will be disabled automatically.

For safety, do not use earphone near traffic.

To avoid hearing loss, do not use earphone if using it makes you feel uncomfortable.

To avoid hearing loss, do not use earphones if they make you feel uncomfortable.

The detector has a dual-frequency audio alarm function. When it detects a ferrous metal object, it emits a tone of 660Hz audio signal, and when it detects a non-ferrous metal object, it emits a tone of 2000Hz audio signal.

The detector has a dual-frequency audio alarm function. When it detects a ferrous metal object, it emits a 660Hz audio signal, and when it detects a non-ferrous metal object, it emits a 2000Hz audio signal.

When the low battery indicator lights, the batteries are not high enough and should be replaced immediately.

When the low battery indicator lights, the batteries are not sufficiently charged and must be replaced immediately.

To replace the batteries, turn off the detector first. Then slide the battery compartment (see Figure 2) downwards to remove it. Replace the old batteries with new ones of the same type, making sure that the polarity connections are correct (see the polarity indications at the bottom of the battery compartment). Reinstall the cover.

To preserve battery life, turn off the detector when not in use.

1. To preserve battery life, turn off the detector when not in use.
2. If the detector cannot operate normally, a possible cause is that the batteries are exhausted.
3. Protect the plug of the search coil cable from dampness; otherwise, the detector may lose its detecting ability. Dry the plug as needed.
4. The control box is not waterproof. Protect the control box from water, and do not use the detector in the rain.
5. Do not place the detector in any high-temperature environment.
6. Do not tamper with the circuit of the detector.
7. Do not pull the search coil cable with force.
8. Handle the detector gently. Do not bump, drop, or abuse the detector.
9. When turning a knob, do not apply excessive force.

WARNING

Any metal detector may discover underground power lines, explosives, or other items which, when struck, could cause personal injury. When searching for metal, observe these precautions:

1. Do not search in an area where you believe there may be shallowly buried underground electric lines or pipes.
2. Avoid striking any line known to be or suspected of carrying electrical current.
3. Do not disturb any pipeline, particularly if it could be carrying flammable liquid.
4. Use reasonable caution when digging toward any target, particularly in areas where you are uncertain of underground conditions.
5. Observe all national, state, and local laws while detecting.
