Minelab Manticore Ferrous LimitsThe Minelab Manticore has a feature called Ferrous Limits, which allows you to control how the detector classifies ferrous targets.
The upper ferrous limits control how the detector classifies large, round ferrous objects, such as iron nails. The lower ferrous limits control how the detector classifies flat, thin ferrous objects, such as sheet metal and bottle-caps.
By adjusting the Ferrous Limits, you can customise the detector's response to ferrous targets. For example, if you want to reduce the number of iron nails that the detector reports as non-ferrous, you can lower the upper ferrous limits. Or, if you want to better detect flat, thin ferrous objects, you can raise the lower ferrous limits.
The default Ferrous Limits settings have selective factory pre-sets These settings provide a good balance of target separation and sensitivity to ferrous targets. However, you may need to adjust the Ferrous Limits depending on the type of terrain you are detecting in and the types of targets you are looking for.
To adjust the Ferrous Limits on the Minelab Manticore, follow these steps:
- Press the Menu button.
- Use the arrow keys to select Settings.
- Use the arrow keys to select Ferrous Limits.
- Use the arrow keys to adjust the upper and lower ferrous limits.
- Press the Enter button to save your changes.
Here are some tips for adjusting the Ferrous Limits on the Minelab Manticore:
- Start with the default settings and adjust them from there.
- Use a test target, such as an iron nail or a bottle cap, to help you adjust the limits.
- Experiment with different settings to see what works best for you.
- Be aware that adjusting the Ferrous Limits can affect the detector's response to other types of targets.
I hope this helps!
