Assembly of DEEPERS X5

1. Commando Arm:

a. Telescopic Commando Arm:

First, assemble the telescopic shaft of the Commando Arm. Take the middle

shaft and loosen the twistlocks by turning them counter-clockwise. Ensure that

the two white pins inside of the twistlocks are pushed down. If not, slightly press

them down with your finger to allow the passage of the telescopic shafts (refer

to the picture). Slide in the upper and lower shafts, adjusting the extension

according to your height - minimum extension 110 cm (43.3 in), maximum 140

cm (55.1 in). Rotate the twistlocks clockwise to immobilize each shaft. Do not

overtighten, as it may damage the twistlocks.

b. Attaching the search coil to the lower shaft:

Plug the two blocking rubber holders

into the holes on both sides of the lower

shaft. Slide the lower shaft into the

bracket on top of the search coil.

Ensure the proper alignment of the

holes. Insert the bolt (provided) through

the lower shaft and the bracket. Fasten

with the nut (provided) until the coil is

immobilized at an appropriate angle parallel to the ground. Be careful not to overtighten, as it

may damage the thread of the nut.

Wind the search coil cable around the Commando Arm to take up the slack. Leave enough

slack at the bottom of the cable near the coil to allow for readjustment of the coil’s angle while

detecting. Use two Velcro straps (provided) to secure the coil cable to the shaft. Plug the coil

connector into to the back panel of the electronic box, into the SEARCHCOIL CONNECTOR

socket, properly aligning the direction of the small pins. Moderately tighten the security nut of the

connector. Do not overtighten.

2. Connecting the headphones:

Plug the headphones connector into the AUDIO SOCKET (bottom-right corner) on the front panel

of the electronic box. The headphones are 15% more efficient in delivering a more precise

audible signal than the internal speaker. The internal speaker is automatically silenced once the

headphones are connected.

Note: When using the mono search coils like the Standard Round coil, hypersensitive coil, Wand

coil and Frame coil set the switch on the back panel of the electronic box on the position MONO

LOOP (at the red point). If you use DD Litz coil, or other special Double search coil, change the

position of the switch on DD LITZ COIL.

Attention: Never disconnect the plugs by pulling the cables. Always, grip the connectors with

your hand to gently disconnect them.

Advice: The Deepers X5 is a very powerful and sensitive detector, when using it make sure that

you do not have large metal objects or coins in your pockets and use shoes without metal

eyelets, nor use metal watches and similar accessories. Do not use belts with large metal buckles.

These objects present a common source of interference.

It is important, to never put the headphones directly on the ears, but on the

tympanums to avoid damage to the hearing by the detection signal (refer to

the picture).

Quick Start of Deepers X5

Distance yourself away from all metal objects and at the minimum of 6 m (20 ft) away from any

modern constructions made of reinforced concrete. Assemble the Commando arm (refer to

“Assembly of the Commando Arm”) and connect the standard search coil (or any other coil

made by Deepers) to the electronic box. Before turning on the device, position the SENSI, DISCRI

and FRE knobs as well as the SOUND switch on their respective RED POINTS. Position the 10-turn-

precision AJUSTE potentiometer at 5 turns from either of its extremes (from its maximum or

minimum).

Position the search coil at approximately 10 to 15 cm (4 to 6 in) from the ground,

activate the detector using the OFF-ON knob by turning it to ON towards the

BALANCE region until you find first point of sound and then adjust the final desired

sound level (audio-threshold) using the 10-turn-precision AJUSTE potentiometer

within its range. If you notice a crackling or unstable sound due to electrical local

disturbances, radio transmissions, high voltage wires or other electrostatic

disturbances, to neutralize these effects, you only need to either slightly increase

or decrease the frequency with the FRE knob to obtain a clearer and more stable sound.

Note: When the detector is activated, the green LED on the front control panel (top-

right corner) lights up.

Important: It is advised that you always detect using the sound (the internal speaker or

headphones) so that you are able to continuously control the operation of your detector.

Without sound you cannot control the detector and you run the risk of passing over top of a

good target without ever knowing it.

Advice: The general rule of thumb is to place the SENSI knob at the red point to obtain optimal

stability of your detector. The REJET LED has to be green so the detector is operational

(read more in “Adjustment of discrimination”). If the REJET LED is red, slightly decrease the

level of discrimination with the DISCRI knob until the REJET LED turns green.

Important: The internal electronic components take approximately 5 minutes

after turning on the detector to stabilize properly according to the

temperature. It may be needed to slightly readjust the audio-threshold with

the potentiometer AJUSTE.

Detection signal –Target alert:

Passing the coil near or above a target will immediately provoke a sudden increase in sound

level in the speaker or headphones. The sound is the loudest and peaks just as the coil passes

right over the target that is sizable or shallow (for example, food cans, horseshoe, big roof nails or

other substantial scraps) the sound will be cut and the REJET LED will change from green to red to

indicate the discrimination. In order not to detect small trash or pieces of scrap metal that are

usually found at the surface, you can either lower sensitivity by fine-tuning the SENSI knob,

elevate the search coil to a greater height from the ground or temporarily reduce the level of

sound (almost a silent search, for example) with the AJUSTE potentiometer. To precisely localize

the target, you can follow the same above steps.

Available Adjustments of Deepers X5

Controls on the Front Panel

1. Adjustment of the audio-threshold –OFF-ON BALANCE:

Turn on the detector using the OFF-ON knob by turning it to ON towards the

BALANCE region until you find first point of sound and then adjust the final desired

sound level (audio-threshold) using the 10-turn-precision AJUSTE potentiometer

within its range (refer to the following paragraph Audio-threshold fine-tuning).

When the detector is activated, the green LED on the front control panel (top-

right corner) lights up.

2. Audio-threshold fine-tuning –AJUSTE knob:

Fine-tuning of the audio-threshold within the available 10 precise turns of the

AJUSTE potentiometer provides a wide range of sound levels. Before turning on

the detector, do not forget to position the AJUSTE knob in the middle of its range,

at 5 turns from either of its extremes (from its maximum or minimum). For

increasing the sound level, turn the knob clockwise; to reduce, turn counter-

clockwise.

3. Adjustment of Sensitivity - SENSI knob:

The sensitivity of Deepers X5 is adjusted using the SENSI knob. The “Drop Gold

Silver” system of the Deepers X5 works in microseconds (internal clock has a fixed

delay of 8 microseconds corresponding to the RED POINT position of SENSI) and

not in milliseconds like other metal detectors on the market. Therefore, the

Deepers X5 is extremely agile in locating the precious metals, particularly gold

and silver, even at greater depths.

GREEN LED (top-right corner) to indicate the

activation of the detector

BAT red LED alarms when the battery needs to be

recharged

RED POINTS recommended positioning of the

various knobs and switches for quick adjustment

of the detector

AUDIO SOCKET (bottom-right corner) the

connection port for the headphones

ON-OFF BALANCE to start the detector and

determine the audio-threshold

AJUSTE to fine-tune the audio-threshold

DETECT two detection modes MAXI or MINI

SENSI to adjust the sensitivity

FRE to adjust the frequency

DISCRI to adjust the discrimination

SOUND two sound modes available

REJET LED indicates the rejection of a

discriminated target

a. Elimination of small trash using SENSI knob:

Positioning the SENSI knob in the range outlined in the picture (between 3 and 7

o’clock), allows avoiding the detection of small trash such as nails, pull tabs,

bottle caps and other scrap metals without losing the opportunity to locate

important targets even if they are deep. It is important to note that lowering

sensitivity decreases the soil penetration power of the detector.

Note: The level of sensitivity selected influences the detection at greater depths.

According to the level of mineralization of the ground, adjust the SENSI knob in such a way that

the detector is not disturbed by false signals. If the ground is not mineralized or polluted, the

sensitivity can be set above the RED POINT (hypersensitive mode).

Advice: Universally, it is preferable to position SENSI knob on the RED POINT. Lowering the

sensitivity will increase stability in detection. At the RED POINT and higher, the detector works in

hypersensitive mode, which increases the penetration power of the search coil, but might cause

instability in case the prospected ground is mineralized or polluted.

4. Adjustment of Frequency –FRE knob:

The Deepers X5 is equipped with a frequency adjustment system

with the FRE knob. Between 450 and 950 pps (Hertz) there are

500 detection frequencies available. The higher the frequency is,

the sharper the sound. This frequency range permits to explore

all types of grounds with an appropriate and optimal soil penetration signal. On

a humid ground it is preferable to work on lower frequencies. On the contrary, on

a hard or dry ground, the higher frequency will give better results. If you notice a crackling or

unstable sound due to electrical local disturbances, radio transmissions, high voltage wires or

other electrostatic disturbances, to neutralize these effects, you only need to either slightly

increase or decrease the frequency with the FRE knob to obtain a clearer and more stable

sound.

Note: The energy consumption of the detector depends on the level of the frequency and can

vary from 150 mA/H with 200 mA/H (according to the coil used). However, Deepers X5 is

equipped with a new refillable NiMH battery which ensures long hours of detection without

problem.

5. Adjustment of the discrimination –DISCRI knob:

a. Discrimination system of Deepers X5

The Deepers X5 is equipped with a highly efficient discrimination system against

shallow ferrous objects. The system permits the detector to ignore any large iron

targets within the first 20 cm to 40 cm (8 in to 16 in) of the depth, where it is

common to find a great quantity of trash (scrap metals, drums, horseshoes,

barrels, tin cans, old utensils, tools, wires, etc.). With the DISCRI system, whenever

the coil passes over or near the scraps, that should be rejected, the REJECT LED

instantly changes green to red and the sound temporarily cuts off, to indicate the discrimination

of trash. If the detected target is a gold or silver coin, antique bronze, jewel, ring or other

precious metal, or if it is at a great depth (which can be very interesting since most things at

depth were placed there for a reason), whatever the nature of its metal, Deepers X5 will

precisely locate it without losing any of its penetration power, the REJECT LED will remain green

and the sound audible.

b. Adjustment of the discrimination of Deepers X5

To adjust the level of discrimination turning DISCRI knob from its beginning (1 o’clock position)

clockwise until obtaining that the REJET LED turns from the red to green. The RED POINT

corresponds to the middle discrimination range. To obtain the maximum discrimination (which

depends on many variables) the REJET LED has to just become green after being red. This system

has to be adjusted after choosing suitable frequency (FRE knob) and sensitivity (SENSI knob). In

the end, the volume of the desired audio-threshold can be readapted with BALANCE and

AJUSTE potentiometers. By modifying the frequency or sensitivity it is possible that the REJET LED

changes to red; in this case, it is necessary to readjust DISCRI to make the REJET LED return to

green. This system is exceptionally reliable, very simple and powerful, that is easily regulated

according to the desired target to be discriminated without losing absolutely the depth

penetration power of the detector (patent Deepers Detector).

Important: If the REJET LED is red, it is impossible to obtain the audio-threshold and the detector is

inoperative. It is absolutely necessary that the REJET LED is green so that the detector is

operational.

Recommendation: During the search, it is always advised that you maintain the search coil at a

height of 5 to 10 cm (2 to 4 in) above ground in order to avoid the interference due to the

mineralization of the soil or the presence of small metallic fragments. If the ground conditions

permit, in order to be more successful at finding coins or small object at large depths, you can

lower the coil closer to the ground but in this case you run the risk of having a valuable metal

target, such as a coin, be discriminated and rejected with the REJECT lighting up the red LED and

cutting off the sound. If this situation occurs, lift up the coil a couple of centimeters (inches) and

the DISCRI system will then correctly indicate whether the target should be rejected or

maintained (REJECT LED remains green).
