Little help with XP Deus 2

[Pikeslumber]

Hello and thanks in advance to any help I might receive. I have a new XP Deus 2 and can't get it to quiet down. I have detected for 30+ years and have owned ML Explorers, Fisher F75, F70, and other detectors that were chatty but this is different. I have made a few programs and it doesn't matter how I set them up, they are crazy sparky. I have tried the basic user settings/modes and the same. I have backed down my sensitivity to 80 or less and bumped up my reactivity and no relief. My soil is considered mild and while I've had issues in the past it was when I had a detector maxed out. If I ran detectors at 85 to 90 percent they were quiet. I have done my ground grab without tracking and I have tried grab and tracking. I am doing my frequency scan every time. What could my problem be? Do I have a dud Deus? Thanks

Any power lines near by? And you don't have to be right under them, mine does this if I'm with in 50' of one!

I run mine next to power lines without problems. If you are running with a Sensitivity at 80 and you've tried different programs, and it is that noisy, I think you have a bad controller or coil.

Also make sure your firmware is up to date. I had a lot of noise from power lines in the early firmwares, and had to turn sensitivity way down. With later firmware (4.x, I think), I have almost no power line chatter, even with the sensitivity up at normal levels.

I'm running 4.1 and no power lines within 100 yards, most of the time further. I'm thinking something is bad because I can't get into MultiProc either. I will not switch on from the off position.

Yeah that sounds like a defect. I have a buried power line in my yard and even when I'm right on top of it, the chatter is minimal.

What could be stopping it from going into MultiProc mode?

 

[Peterw]

Something is wrong with your machine imo

Do you have a wireless headphones paired to your detector?
If so
What do you have paired exactly.

 

[Pikeslumber]

No, not paired. I am using wired headphones right now

I had ws6 headphones paired but I deleted them to see if it would work wired and I'm using some Minelab ML 105 headphones, which are stereo.

Deus 2 remote.
No hardware changed done. Meaning wired headphones. You won’t get Mukti processing option in menu. No matter what kind headphones you have plugged into pigtail.
If I unpair my wSaST module I loose Mukti processing option in menu.
I must have a stereo capable device paired to remote to have Mukti processing menu option.

 

[tnsharpshooter]

A side note.
The pigtail Xp sells for remote. Will it carry stereo? Hmm
I doubt it. This item was not changed to my knowledge. Reason why likely Deus 2 remote didn’t get hardware change for the multiprocessing feature. So it would be useless to change it to handle stereo.

Deus 2 can be a chatty detector depending on ground and EMI conditions. I have problems with both of those factors and rarely get Deus 2 to be a "silent search" detector.

To test for EMI being the culprit using your Deus 2, raise your coil off the ground and compare the chattiness using your regular FMF simultaneous multi frequency program versus Deus 2 in its Mono program. If the level of chatter immediately decreases using Mono, then there is probably an EMI source that is causing the chatter. You can also try using your FMF programs with different max frequencies to see if that helps. Deus 2's noise cancellation feature is really just a noise reduction feature. It's the same on all recent simultaneous multi frequency VLFs. That feature just slightly reduces the chatter most of the time if EMI is a problem in the area. Also, raising reactivity will make EMI chatter worse in most cases.
