Instruction Manual

Set the Front Control Panel switches to the

following positions.

Press and release the On/Off switch on the Rear

Control Panel (p. 26).

Raise the coil off the ground and Press the Auto Tune (p. 32)

button to reduce electrical interference. The tuning process

takes approximately 60 seconds. Do not move the coil or

pass metal objects near the coil until you hear 3 beeps.

Turn the Threshold (p. 33) control clockwise until a hum is

audible through the headphones.

Whilst raising and lowering the coil, between 25mm and

100mm (1" and 4") from the ground, change the Ground

Balance switch to Tracking (p. 40). Any variations in the

Threshold will smooth out within 3–5 seconds.

Adjust the Threshold (p. 33) to a very faint but still audible

level. It should be smooth with only minor fluctuations.

1Congratulations on purchasing

your Minelab

metal detector!

Gold detecting is a fascinating and rewarding activity enjoyed by people all over the world. By

getting to know your GPX Series detector you can become one of the many who find gold and

valuable treasure on a regular basis.

The GPX 5000 and GPX 4800 are Minelab's most advanced gold detectors. They are high precision

instruments incorporating Multi-Period Sensing (MPS), Dual Voltage Technology (DVT), Smart

Electronic Timing Alignment (SETA) and the latest in high-tech analogue components combined

with advanced digital processing.

The GPX 5000 and GPX 4800 will locate gold in all types of ground, especially highly mineralised

ground conditions, with greater efficiency than any previous detector.

This manual is designed to help both the beginner and expert prospector get the best

performance out of their GPX 5000 and GPX 4800.

Minelab wishes you every success in your quest for gold and treasure!

Read your Instruction Manual!

A comprehensive explanation on how to use your GPX 5000’s or GPX 4800’s

functions and settings are set out within these pages. By thoroughly reading this

Instruction Manual you will have a better understanding on how to operate your

Minelab metal detector.

At the top of each page that explains a GPX Series setting you can change, the

“Range” and “Factory Preset” will be stated for that setting. Some settings are

not adjustable depending on your model and have been Factory Set. In the

example above, the available range for the GPX 5000 is Normal and Inverted,

and the Factory Preset is Normal. For the GPX 4800 you cannot adjust the setting

and it has been Factory Set to Normal.

4Introducing the

and

The GPX Series utilise Minelab’s proven 'Dual Voltage

Technology' (DVT). This ensures an accurate Ground Balance to

provide maximum sensitivity and depth in all ground types.

The GPX 5000 offers a total of eight Timing options, the

GPX 4800 offers six; each incorporating the all-new SETA

technology. Smart Electronic Timing Alignment (SETA)

ensures the detector is precisely aligned for each individual

Timing option. This improvement in calibration reduces the

susceptibility to certain types of interference, and significantly

improves the detector’s immunity to highly magnetic

rocks and soils.

Through a process of dynamic noise compensation,

SETA ensures that the threshold stability is improved and

maintained, allowing you to operate the GPX 5000 and GPX

4800 with maximum efficiency under all conditions.

The GPX 5000 offers six preprogrammed Search Modes, and

the GPX 4800 offers three. Both models are set up for the most

common search techniques.

Each Search Mode can be fine tuned by simply scrolling

through the various functions of the detector and adjusting

the settings.

With improved functionality and new timings the GPX 5000

and GPX 4800 are capable of finding nuggets in a diverse

range of ground conditions with greater ease than

previous detectors.

5Features

Ground Balance (GB) Type

Ground Balance Type has three settings:

Normal, Specific, and GB Off. Normal is the

preferred setting for most soil types. Specific

Ground Balance is designed to be used in

very hot ground, and is especially useful with

Monoloop coils. GB Off switches the ground

balance circuit off for maximum depth in very

mild soils, sand etc.

Custom Search Mode (GPX 5000)

With Custom selected, a range of Custom

Search Modes become available from the

LCD menu. A mode name picker is also

included so you can name your own Search

Modes for different locations, and use them

for future visits.

Timings

The GPX Series feature a number of new

timings, increasing performance in different

conditions. Fine Gold, Salt/Gold and Coin/

Relic are new timings for the GPX 5000. Coin/

Relic is also new to the GPX 4800.

Rx Gain

The Rx Gain function sets the overall

sensitivity level of your detector. In areas

where soil conditions are mild you can

increase the Rx Gain. In areas that are more

difficult Rx Gain can be reduced.

Motion

The speed at which you sweep the coil has an

effect on target response time and Ground

Balance adjustment. Matching your preferred

coil sweep speed with the corresponding

Motion setting can reduce noise and improve

your ability to pick up targets at depth.

Response (GPX 5000)

The Response function allows you to invert

the target response. Deep targets can now

sound like the more familiar ‘rising and falling’

pitch of a shallow target signal.

Stabilizer

This feature allows you to fine tune your

audio, in order to obtain the best compromise

between smooth operation and clear

target signals.

Target Volume

Used to control the built-in amplifier which

affects the volume of target signals. It is

active with both headphones and an external

speaker. Target Volume can also be used to

reduce the severity of ground signals.

Spring loaded pin

The Coil cable is directly wired into the coil and is not

removable. Any attempt to disconnect this cable will void

your warranty

Attaching the Coil to the Lower Shaft:

1 Plug the two rubber washers into the holes on either side of

the lower shaft.

2 Ensure that the spring loaded pin of the lower shaft is

pointing downwards. Slide the lower shaft into the bracket

on top of the coil.

3 Insert the bolt through the lower shaft and the bracket on

top of the coil. Fasten with the nut provided; being careful

not to damage the thread of the nut by over-tightening. This

may need to be loosened to adjust the coil to a comfortable

detecting angle.

Note: If the coil becomes loose over time the rubber washers

may need replacing.
