- Move the test piece towards the centre of the coil until it lightly touches the
coil then move it sideways off the coil.
- Confirm a faint but clear response (change in threshold tone volume and
pitch) is heard.
- If the test piece is not heard conduct an audio reset and repeat the test.
- If the test piece is still not heard, refer to section 5 Fault Finding
Procedures.
NOTE
When using a yellow endcap volume and sensitivity levels can be customised using
Minelab’s application software. The Test Piece Test as described above is not
suitable for use with the F3 and a yellow endcap. Where sensitivity testing is to be
conducted using a specific customised configuration, it is the responsibility of the
user to provide an appropriate target with which to confirm the sensitivity of the
detector satisfies operational requirements
k. Provided the detector passes all functional tests, it is serviceable and ready for
operations. The detector can now be packed into the hard case ensuring batteries are
removed and stowed and all accessories are in place.
3.3 Detector Field Test
Once the detector has passed the mechanical and function tests a patch of ground
should be searched with the detector in the same way that it would be used in
operations. Several different buried targets must be detected then pinpointed to
confirm the detector is fully operational. The detector must not be used until the correct
operation is confirmed.
Provided the detector passes all tests, it is serviceable and ready for operations.
