3.2 Pornire/Oprire
- To power on, connect the device to a power source. The system will perform a self-diagnostic check.
- Pentru a opri, deconectați sursa de alimentare.
3.3 Reglarea sensibilității
The MD50018Z offers 2000 levels of sensitivity. Use the control panel buttons (e.g., "ENTER", "+", "-") to navigate and adjust the sensitivity settings. Higher sensitivity detects smaller metallic objects, while lower sensitivity reduces false alarms from minor items.
3.4 Understanding Detection Zones
The detector is divided into 18 independent detection zones, allowing for precise localization of metallic objects on a person. When an object is detected, the corresponding zone on the LED display will illuminate.

3.5 Alarm System and People Counter
- Alarme sonore și vizuale: Upon detection, the system triggers clear audible alarms and illuminates the side LED bars to indicate the zone and intensity of the detected metal.
- People Counter: The integrated counter tracks the total number of visitors and the total number of alarms, providing useful data for security management.
3.6 Tamper-Proof Settings
The detector includes a password protection feature to prevent unauthorized changes to settings. Refer to the control panel instructions for setting and changing the password.
4. Întreținere
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your metal detector.
4.1 Curățare
- Ștergeți suprafețele exterioare cu un material moale, damp pânză.
- Evitați utilizarea de produse de curățare abrazive sau solvenți, deoarece acestea pot deteriora finisajul și componentele electronice.
- Ensure the LED display and sensor areas are kept clean for accurate readings.
