3.7 WAYS OF MEASUREMENT

3.7.1 STARTING IMMEDIATELY, BASICS

Examine accurately the instrument, and become familiar with it, the location of controls and the
indications provided by the display.
Hold METALLA PRO, then adjust the antenna in the most suitable position for detection.
Take the instrument near the area to be examined. Be sure you are far enough from any
possible metal or electric field.
Press the ON/OFF key. METALLA PRO starts the initialisation and the zero setting phase by
switching on and off the display completely.
During the whole initialisation and zero setting phase, hold the instrument still.
IMPORTANT: Sometimes METALLA PRO cannot carry out the zero setting procedure. Said
condition, due to an excess of signal, is indicated by continuous flashing of the bar relative to
the kind of signal detected (linear bar for Metal Detection, circular bar for Electric Cable
Detection). In this case, withdraw from the area and repeat the zero setting procedure
(switching METALLA PRO off and then on or pressing the RESET key again).
Take METALLA PRO near the area to be examined moving it slowly in order to achieve
accurate detection.
Keys "+" and "-" allow modifying the alarm threshold.
Try different thresholds for each alarm until you are familiar with their sound.
The Reset key allows zero setting at any time, so that the sensitivity of the instrument is
adapted to the environment in question.
Remember that METALLA PRO cuts out either automatically after approximately 7 minutes of
inactivity (none of the keys pressed ) or pressing the ON/OFF key.

3.7.2 SWITCHING ON/OFF

After taking METALLA PRO off its carry-bag, adjust the antenna in the most suitable position
for detection. Hold the instrument and press the ON/OFF key. METALLA PRO switches on and
activates the initialisation and zero setting phase.
During this phase the instrument checks the functioning of its components, then performs
automatically the zero setting of the signal for metal and electric field.
