Congratulations on the purchase of your ORX and welcome to the world of research and
exploration.
You have invested in a high-tech metal detector capable of exceptional performance.
The ORX has been designed and manufactured in France.
The ORX
is innovative in terms of metal detector design as it oers an unique system based on
dierent wireless elements communicating via a digital radio link. In this new design the coil and
remote control have been made independent of each other through the integration of very
compact high-capacity lithium batteries.
An ultra-miniature electronic circuit, incorporated in the search coil, digitises and analyses
the signals. The signal is processed at the source and not conveyed via a wire link, which
greatly improves data quality.
Incorporating components from leading-edge technologies such as scientic instrumentation,
has enabled us to produce a powerful, rapid, lightweight, compact and fully controllable digital
detector.
Whether you are an experienced user or a beginner, The ORX lets you decide whether
or not to modify any of its remote control settings. Powerful pre-congured factory programs
enable all users to get started immediately, while expert detectorists can choose more
advanced parameters via the intuitive interface.
Lastly, the new patented XP stem has the combined advantages of an S-shaped stem and a
straight telescopic stem. It enables you to deploy or fold away the device in just a few seconds,
and to change the coil in an instant.
So now you’re ready for a new adventure!

Sensitivity is often described as the setting which adjusts the device’s power
level. Increased sensitivity levels can enable the ORX to detect deeper targets
but may cause an unstable operation.The most commonly used sensitivity
levels range from 50 to 80. It may be necessary to reduce the level if there
is too much interference.
Scroll through the frequencies with
The ORX
gives you the choice of three operating frequencies which
cover most detection needs.
- 22cm 9’’ coil : 15kHz, 30kHz and 50 kHz.
- Elliptical coil : 15kHz, 30kHz and 80 kHz.
- X35 coil : 4kHz, 8kHz, 12kHz, 17kHz and 25kHz.
They enable you to adapt your machine to suit a wide variety of soils and targets.
Here is a example of the most likely targets that may be detected according to the frequency:

Adjust the IAR (Iron Amplitude Rejection) DISCRIMINATION from 0 to 5. It applies
only to targets that produce strong signals – typically shallow ferrous items. IAR
will not reject deeper targets which may come across as ferrous when they are
buried in mineralised ground, This is to ensure good targets are not rejected by
mistake.
Gold nuggets (buried deep in mineralised ground) generate a similar target
signature to a ferrous item. So in this case, it is better to reduce the level of discrimination.

The Reactivity is a vital setting that determines the detector’s performance in terms of how quickly it
analyses the signal from detected targets, and its ability to separate the signals from several targets
located close together. This is also known as Recovery speed. If the soil contains a great deal of iron, hot
rocks or other mineralised debris, soil penetration is generally reduced.
The ORX
enables you to select a
high degree of reactivity which will help you speed up the analysis of signals. However if the ground is
"clean", it is better to reduce the Reactivity and sweep slower. The machine will be more sensitive to deep
masses and obtain better ground penetration.
The ORX
is a fast and selective detector !
Typical recommended Reactivity settings are as follows :

PROGRAMS 3 & 4 COIN
Adjust the discrimination level from 0 to 99 with .
Increasing the discrimination value enables you to gradually reject any target with a conductivity
level lower than the selected setting. Ex: if you set the discrimination level to 10, you will reject iron
with a value of between 0 and 10.

Dierent levels of soil mineralisation can aect the performance of your detector. For example, this may
be due to natural magnetic mineralisation such as iron oxide, hot rocks and magnetite, or sporadic
mineralisation from sites of ancient habitation. Other magnetic items include: hearths, pottery, hot rocks,
slag, etc. You may also experience high mineralisation from black sand and electrically conductive salt
water (Depending on the beach region).
If your ground is not mineralized (check mineralisation bargraph below),
there is no need to adjust
your ground balance to a level below 88: because the ground has not given a signicant spurious echo
indicating low mineralisation levels.

If you are having diculty locating the target then sweep the place where
you heard the sound. Move a quarter turn around the spot and begin
sweeping again in the same way. You should then locate the precise
zone containing your target at the intersection of the two sweeps
where the sound is loudest.
Metal detecting is a fascinating leisure activity that can bring you a lot of satisfaction. However, it requires
a minimum of learning in order to get the most enjoyment. Begin by familiarising yourself with your
equipment and its operation on a suitable practice ground. To do this, we recommend that you take an
assortment of dierent objects: coins, everyday items, metal rubbish, etc. Then nd a patch of ground
relatively free from metal pollution and far away from any electromagnetic interference (high voltage
power lines, electric fences, domestic appliances, etc.). For instance, your garden would probably be
one of the most unsuitable places to begin as there is too much domestic waste in the vicinity.
Arrange your objects on the ground then, take some time to observe your device’s reactions when it passes
over each target.

Recycling of electrical wast in european union and other countries
Detecting is an activity which, like other leisure activities, requires a few general
guidelines. These recommendations will enable everyone to enjoy their hobby to the
full while respecting laws, places, the environment and other people.
- Ensure you are informed of current legislation relating to discovery of treasure in order
to abide by the law.
- Declare any fortuitous archaeological discoveries to the local authorities (town hall) of
the discovery site within 48 hours.
- Before prospecting on a site, obtain permission from its owner(s) or guardian(s).
- Respect the natural environment in which you are prospecting and any other places to
which you need access.
- Systematically back-ll any holes you make so as to leave a site exactly how you found it.
- Keep any rubbish you nd in order to dispose of it in a dustbin.
Avoid detecting in areas where battles are known to have taken place during
wartime. Exercise extreme caution with any suspect object resembling munitions,
grenades, mines, shells, bombs, etc. and notify the relevent authorities (police,
local authorities, etc.) of any such object you nd.
Remember that you are an ambassador for metal detecting and it is important that you
convey a positive image !

ORX is a precision device, designed to be as robust as possible. Despite this, it is
important to take care of it and exercise certain precautions in order to prolong its
life:
- Do not store your device for long periods with discharged batteries. Ideally you
should discharge/recharge the batteries at least once a month, and if possible store
them 40 to 70% charged.
- Do not expose your detector to extreme temperatures, particularly inside a car in
full sun.
- Do not expose your detector to the sun without reason when it is not being used.
- When you switch on the detector ensure that the coil is not near any metal
objects.
- The remote control of your detector is not waterproof. In wet weather be sure to
protect it !
- Use the storage case that is supplied with the headphones and never carry them
at the bottom of a bag without protection.
- Use the case that is supplied with the remote control to protect it in adverse
conditions, and when the detector is stored away.
- Do not use solvents or alcohol to clean the detector. Soapy water is sucient.
- Depending on how you use your detector, it may be advisable to clean its
elements regularly. A damp cloth can be used to clean the non-waterproof parts
(headphones and remote control).
- After use, remove any dirt from the stem’s locking mechanisms.
- The equipment must be recharged using a SELV LPS power supply.
PRECAUTION FOR USE
Safety relating to electromagnetic radio waves
This product complies with standards for user safety with regard to electromagnetic
waves. The strength of the radio signals used is considerably weaker and on a much
smaller scale than those emitted by mobile telephones (2,000 to 4,000 times
weaker), as well as being much less than those used by Wi-Fi systems. Moreover, when
the complete system is used, the audio headphones only act as a passive radio receiver.
