Thanks for the reply. I will try several different things at my next outing. Falseing is one thing, this machine was going crazy. Totally unusable in 2ft plus. dry/wet sand even up to a foot it worked great. But going any deeper...not. I am sure there is a fix with the settings. I just need to find out what they are.Wave action gives me falses, I run auto +3. Probably try manual when up north.
Thanks for the help penzfan, I will definitely give that a try.Try this can:
Submerge the coil in water-Switch to Manual Sensitivity-Check the recommended Sensitivity number on the bottom right of the Detect Mode Screen-Adjust the Sensitivity to that number-Press Noise Cancel and let it run to 100%-Swing the coil and see what response you get-Adjust the Sensitivity upward to the highest level you can as shown on the bottom left side of the Detect Mode Screen without getting any falsing (usually 5-6 points above the recommended number on the right). Let us know how that works...
Thanks Adambomb, I was not using manual, nor was I using noise cancel. I will try using these helpful tips next time out and will report back. Thanks everyone for all the help.As everyone else said - noise cancel + manual sensitivity. Also, you probably have very similar sand as me...if you are not, start using manual sens. I find I can get +6-7 what the machine recommends on auto without falsing.
Here is the Check list.
If coming out of a HOT car, let it cool down slowly... This saves from plastics cracking, expanding contracting and leak spots.
All seals are TIGHT, Clean and free of debris.
Turn the machine ON in the water next time after cooled down, once on, make sure "Ground Balance is OFF", "Saltwater is ON", "Noise Cancel is pressed when in the water" and Sens is Auto (Can change +/- as you go)
Ground Balance Off is key, so is cooling the machine slowly. A friend of mine had his main battery/guts housing explode on him as the water was cold and the unit was HOT HOT HOT.
best of luck! Also, we use High Trash as our conditions warrant it, but you will find out once you run through this if something is actually wrong with it. Take care!
