  • Page 3: Introduction

    Thanks to its 4,6 kHz search frequency, the GMAXX II is a powerful and versatile detector for coins and artefacts in various types of ground.
  • Page 4 LCD display. LCD displays cannot respond in real time and do not capture weak signals that are too brief or too close to other signals GMAXX II sound signalling provides real-time output of the most imperceptible signal.
  • Page 5 Before using your GMAXX II for the first time, we recommend that you read this instruction manual carefully in order to make full use of its abilities.

    D E S C R I P T I O N 1 - Robust, waterproof search coil. Diam.9” (22.5 cm), provided with coil cover. 2 – Fibreglass Nut and Bolt 3 - Fibreglass lower stem 4 – Double Twist lock 5 - Comfortable foam handle 6 - Impact resistant polypropylene armrest 7 - Strong cable, designed to resist movement failures.

  • Page 7: Assembly

    A S S E M B L Y The assembly of your detector will only take you a few seconds. Put the shaft together as shown on the diagram. 1. Press the 2 shafts (3) and (5) one towards the other to help the spring clips (4) locate themselves.
  • Page 8 A S S E M B L Y 6. Once the control box in place under the armrest, insert the connector (female) (2) in its panel connector (male), lock it, the connector is now watertight. The control box is now fixed under the armrest as indicated on the opposite diagram Disassembling To remove the control box from the armrest, proceed as indicated...

    It can be adjusted to suit the environment so as not to be plagued with false signals. Please note that this new detector has a more advanced SENSITIVITY setting compared to previous GMAXX II model, enabling you to make gradual adjustments to help alleviate false signals.

  • Page 12: Iron Threshold

    C O N T R O L S IRON THRESHOLD________________________________ The GMAXX II is still "multi-tone" detectors, but users can now adjust the iron level setting by using the IRON THRESHOLD potentiometer. This potentiometer can be viewed as a detection setting with a range only covering iron.

  • Page 13: Ground

    C O N T R O L S GROUND______________________________ With this control you can correct ground effects and more accurately reject ferrous minerals or any pottery containing iron oxides. If you are prospecting on grounds loaded with magnetic stones, it might be a good idea to keep a sample of these stones on you to adjust your detector before detecting this type of ground.

  • Page 14: Silencer

    By default, the GMAXX II is a triple-tone detector, but users can set it to double tone mode using a SILENCER switch: Switch the SILENCER from position I to position II twice within the space of two seconds.

  • Page 15: Freq. Shift

    C O N T R O L S FREQ. SHIFT.__________________________ FREQ. SHIFT switch eliminates interference which would otherwise be caused between two XP detectors used within close proximity of each other. It can act on two settings simultaneously: the working frequency of your detector: Freq1 ou Freq 2 the wireless WS1 2 Channel headphone output channel: CH1 ou CH2...

    C O N T R O L S If you are working WITH A PARTNER without the WS1 headphones: you can use FREQ. SHIFT. on the middle setting: DETECT Freq1 / WS1 OFF position on YOUR device. on a high setting: DETECT Freq 2 / WS1 CH1 position on your partner's device, even if they are not using a wireless WS1 headset.

  • Page 17: Multi Tones Informations

    On certain types of ground, especially those contaminated by copper sporting rifle cartridges or little pieces of aluminum foil, GMAXX II will can signal the presence of debris by means of a medium-pitched tone, whereas as decent targets will trigger a high- pitched sound.
  • Page 18 M U L T I - T O N E I N F O R M A T I O N S In addition to these three basic tones, GMAXX II has another advantageous feature : it can produce several different tones simultaneously for targets in intermediate categories.

  • Page 19: Detecting Techniques

    D E T E C T I N G T E C H N I Q U E S GMAXX II is a motion detector, which means that a target detection can be carried out only when the search coil is moving.

  • Page 20: Care Instructions

    C A R E I N S T R U C T I O N S Our detectors are designed to be as robust as possible, however, like any electronic precision instrument, they require some care. The XP search coil cable has been designed so as to resist long term movement.
  • Page 21 C A R E I N S T R U C T I O N S Not adhering to these precautions will lead to long term damage of the cable and void the warranty due to user negligence. In the event of nonprolonged use, remove the alkaline batteries from the detector.
