4. ສະພານແລະການຕິດຕັ້ງ

Follow these steps to assemble your Garrett ACE 400i metal detector:

1. ຄັດຕິດທໍ່ຊອກຫາ:

   Align the search coil with the lower stem. Insert the plastic bolt through the holes on the coil and stem, then secure it with the wing nut. Ensure the coil cable is wrapped snugly around the lower and middle stems.

2. ເຊື່ອມຕໍ່ກ່ອງຄວບຄຸມ:

   Slide the control box onto the upper shaft. Secure it using the provided cam-locks. The new cam-lock rings prevent movement and play over time.

3. ໃສ່ແບັດເຕີລີ:

   Open the battery compartment on the control box. Insert four (4) AA batteries, ensuring correct polarity. Close the compartment securely.

4. Adjust Length and Arm Cuff:

   Adjust the length of the shaft to a comfortable height, allowing the search coil to be parallel to the ground when you are standing upright. Adjust the arm cuff for a snug but comfortable fit on your forearm.

5. ເຊື່ອມຕໍ່ສາຍເຄເບີ້ນຂົດລວດ:

   Plug the search coil cable connector into the corresponding port on the control box. Ensure a secure connection.

5. ຄໍາແນະນໍາການດໍາເນີນງານ

Familiarize yourself with the control panel and its functions before beginning your search.

ກົດຄ້າງໄວ້ ພະລັງງານ button to turn the detector on or off. The detector will power on in the last used search mode.

5.2. Understanding the Display (LCD)

The large LCD screen provides crucial information:

• Target ID Cursor: Indicates the probable target type (e.g., Iron, Foil, Nickel, Zinc, Copper, Silver).
• Digital Target ID (1-100): A numerical value representing the target's conductivity. Higher numbers indicate more conductive targets (e.g., silver coins), while lower numbers indicate less conductive targets (e.g., iron).
• ຕົວຊີ້ວັດຄວາມເລິກ: Estimates the depth of the target in centimeters (5cm, 10cm, 15cm, 20+cm).
• ຕົວຊີ້ບອກລະດັບແບັດເຕີຣີ: ສະແດງອາຍຸແບັດເຕີຣີທີ່ເຫຼືອ.
• ຕົວຊີ້ວັດຄວາມອ່ອນໄຫວ: Displays the current sensitivity setting.

5.3. ຮູບແບບການຄົ້ນຫາ

The ACE 400i features five pre-programmed search modes. Press the ໂໝດ ປຸ່ມເພື່ອໝຸນຜ່ານພວກມັນ:

• Zero-Disc: All-metal mode. Detects all types of metal without discrimination.
• ເຄື່ອງປະດັບ: Designed to ignore iron and small trash items, focusing on jewelry.
• ກຳນົດເອງ: Allows you to create and save your own discrimination pattern. Use the ອະທິບາຍ ແລະ V/X buttons to adjust the NOTCH segments.
• ຫຼຽນ: Optimized for coin hunting, typically discriminating against iron and some foil.
• Relics: Designed to find relics, often with minimal iron discrimination, as many historical artifacts contain iron.

5.4. ການປັບຄວາມອ່ອນໄຫວ

ໃຊ້ ຄວາມອ່ອນໄຫວ ປຸ່ມ (+ ແລະ -) to adjust the detector's sensitivity. Higher sensitivity increases detection depth but can also lead to more false signals in mineralized ground or areas with electrical interference. Adjust as needed for stable operation.

5.5. Discrimination (NOTCH and Iron Audio)

• NOTCH Discrimination: In Custom mode, you can eliminate specific target segments from detection. Use the ອະທິບາຍ button to move the cursor and V/X to toggle segments on/off.
• ສຽງທາດເຫຼັກ: ກົດ IRON AUDIO button to activate this feature. It allows you to hear discriminated iron targets at a low tone, even when they are notched out. This helps in identifying complex targets (e.g., a valuable non-ferrous target next to iron) and avoiding large iron objects.

5.6. ການປັບຄວາມຖີ່

The ACE 400i operates at 10 kHz. If you experience interference from other detectors or electrical sources, press the FREQ ADJ button to slightly shift the operating frequency, which can help mitigate interference.

5.7. Pinpoint Function

Once a target is detected, press and hold the PINPOINT button (target icon). Keep the coil steady over the target. The detector will emit a continuous tone, and the signal strength indicator on the LCD will help you center the coil directly over the target for precise location.

• ທໍາຄວາມສະອາດ: ເຊັດເຄື່ອງກວດຈັບດ້ວຍໂຄສະນາamp cloth after each use. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. The control box is rain-resistant but not submersible.
• ການດູແລຂົດລວດ: Always use the search coil cover to protect the coil from scratches and impacts.
• ການປ່ຽນແບັດເຕີຣີ: Replace batteries when the low battery indicator appears. Remove batteries if storing the detector for extended periods to prevent leakage.
• ການເກັບຮັກສາ: ເກັບຮັກສາເຄື່ອງກວດຈັບໄວ້ໃນບ່ອນທີ່ເຢັນແລະແຫ້ງ. ຫຼີກລ່ຽງອຸນຫະພູມທີ່ຮຸນແຮງ.
