Depth
The Depth Gauge, visible in the Pattern,
Digital and QuickMask Screens, indicates the
approximate depth of a detected target. The
top of the indicator represents the position
of the coil and the bottom represents
approximately 30cm (12“) from the coil.
Once a target is detected, a crosshair will
appear in the Depth Gauge indicating the
approximate depth of the target.
The Depth Gauge is also updated for
rejected targets.

Digital Screen
E-Trac has the Digital Screen that shows both
the ferrous content (FE; range 1–35) and the
conductivity (CO; range 1–50) of a target.
The enlarged FE and CO numbers are the
coordinates of the Target Crosshair displayed
in the Smartfind Discrimination Pattern.
There is a thumbnail of the active
Discrimination Pattern above the
FE-CO numbers.
To switch between Smartfind and Pattern
displays, press the Detect button. The
conductivity and ferrous information of
the target will clear as you switch between
Pattern and Digital, until a new
detection is made.
Note: When using the Digital Screen, the
Discrimination Pattern is still active.
