CONGRATULATIONS ON THE PURCHASE OF YOUR XP METAL DETECTOR AND WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF RESEARCH AND EXPLORATION! ®, the rst fully wireless detectorYou have invested in a high-tech detector capable of exceptional performance, which was designed and developed in France. You are therefore helping our Company to further researchin the eld of metal detecting and we thank you for your contribution.02Dēus is innovative in terms of metal detector design as it oers an architecture based on three elements communicating via a digital radio link. In this new design the coil, remote control and audio headphones have each been made independent 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. Data is then sent to the headphones and remote control in real time via a digital radio link. With this method, the signal is processed at source and not conveyed via a wire link, which greatly improves data quality. Incorporating components from leading-edge technologies such as scientic 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, Dēus lets you decide whether or not to modify any of its settings. Powerful pre-congured factory programmes enable all users to get started immediately, while expert detectorists can choose more advanced parameters via the intuitive interface. What is described in this manual as the "Remote Control" is in fact the user interface, known as the ‘control box’ on conventional detectors. It enables the detector’s many functions to be precisely adjusted via a graphical interface. It can also receive programme updates (via internet) through its USB socket.
Dēus is also exceptional in being able to function without the remote control, with just the coil and the wireless headphones, for an even more compact, lightweight conguration (just 875 g)! Like the remote control, the headphones contain all the components needed for detection, they are a genuine control unit in themselves, but on an ultra-miniature scale. They take over in the absence of the remote control for adjusting the detector settings.With the headphones you can turn Dēus on and o, change the main detection settings such as sensitivity, discrimination, ground balance, tone, frequency (4 kHz, 8 kHz, 12 kHz, 18 kHz), volume, etc. as well as selecting the factory programmes or those previously congured with the remote control! Performance is identical whether you are searching with or without the remote control! 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. Its user-friendly design ensures comfort and convenience for the user: length adjustable by millimetre increments, improved operating angle and shaped rubber handle for a rm, controlled grip. So now you’re ready for a new adventure! *Patent application underway 03TECHNICAL INTRODUCTION continued ...

Adjust the Discrimination level (from 0 to 99) with Exit with to return to the main menu.Discrimination enables undesirable targets to be rejected by raising or lowering a threshold below which certain metals are dierentiated. The conductivity scale (0 to 99) for metal targets shown below will help you better understand the discrimination range and its limits, and see how it corresponds to the digital display of target conductivity on the remote control main menu.Increasing the discrimination value enables you to gradually reject any target whose conductivity is lower than the setting. For example, if you tune the discrimination level to 10, you will reject iron with a value of between 0 and 10. If you tune it to 40 you will also eliminate small pieces of aluminium foil whose conductivity is less than 40.If you wish to reject other rubbish with higher conductivity, such as pull tabs from aluminium drinks cans, lead shot or copper hunting cartridges (whose conductivity is 60-75), you must also be prepared to accept the elimination of certain good metals with similar conductivity.If you are particularly bothered by contamination registering as highly conductive on the digital screen, and you still wish to reject it, it is betterto do so using the NOTCH rejection setting.Conguring the main detection settings.

MENU EXPERTDISC FREQ. IRON VOL. SENS Adjust the Sensitivity level (from 0 to 99) with Exit withSensitivity is often simplistically described as the setting which adjusts the device’s power level. However this is incorrect. As its name indicates, it actually determines the device’s sensitivity level. It reacts after receiving a signal via the receiver coil. Nevertheless, the results are somewhat similar in practice, as increasing a device’s sensitivity enables it to detect the presence of more distant targets. However it must be noted that this setting has no eect on the power emitted.The most commonly used sensitivity levels range from 70 to 90. It may be necessary to reduce the level if there is too much interference, as is often the case near overhead or buried power lines, fences, radio-relay stations, mobile telephones, computers, televisions, etc.Do not test your device in your home as there is considerable electromagnetic and metal interference in urban environments.Two alternatives involve selecting a low level of discrimination, between 5 and 10, then using either:1/ The digital target display to more or less visually discriminate a target category.2/ The Multi-tone mode to discriminate undesirable targets using a selected audio tone.In both cases the decision then lies with you on whether or not to dig. Depending on the frequency setting used, a target’s conductivity is perceived dierently by the detector. The digital conductivity display may therefore vary depending on the frequency. The 0 to 10 range relates to the rejection of iron. To achieve greater precision in this range there is a digit after the decimal point (from 2.1 to 9.9),which in eect gives you 82 dierent levels for iron. In several menus, particularly at the top right of the Discrimination screen, a reminder of the target conductivity index is displayed, which helps you when adjusting the discrimination level.MENU EXPERTNOTCH SENS. FREQ.DISC10DISCRIMINATION continued...
Scroll through the frequencies with Exit with Dēus gives you the choice of four detection frequencies (4 kHz, 8 kHz, 12 kHz and 18 kHz) which cover most detection needs. They enable you to adapt your research more closely to the characteristics of the ground and the targets to be detected.MENU EXPERTSENS.

Remember that generally speaking, all frequencies can detect all kinds of targets, so for example a frequency of 4 kHz will detect a very small target and a frequency of 18 kHz will detect a large, deep mass.However, the 18 kHz frequency will lead you to discover a relatively higher number of small targets that cannot compare with that achieved with a frequency of 4 kHz. Similarly, sometimes the 18 kHz frequency can be slightly less eective with a large mass.If you are just starting out, the 8 kHz frequency is a good compromise for general use. On a wet beach the 18 kHz frequency will be better at nding small gold jewellery such as chain necklaces and bracelets that are usually so dicult to detect.MENU FREQ. REACTIVITYAUDIO RESP. IRON VO. Adjust the Iron Volume (from 0 to 5) with Exit with- At 0 the low-pitched tone is cut o.- At 5 the low-pitched tone will have a sound level equivalent to other medium- or high-pitched tones. 12You have the option of controlling the sound volume of the low-pitched tone which generally corresponds to iron. Depending on the circumstances, this enables more attention to be paid to other sounds, by reducing those generated by iron.On the other hand, some users prefer that the low-pitched signals from iron are more audible, as they know that good targets at the detector’s range limit in mineralised ground sometimes generate low amplitude, low-pitched sounds. If the discrimination threshold is too low, 0 or 2 for example, most iron will generate not low- but medium-pitched tones, as you will practically be in the All Metals mode. In this case, the iron level setting will not be of much use.

If a soil contains a great deal of iron, hot rocks or other mineralised debris, soil penetration is generally reduced, as is a detector’s ability to identify targets similar to iron.In these conditions, Dēus enables you to select a high degree of reactivity which will help you speed up the analysis of signals.On the other hand, if the ground is "clean", it is better to reduce the reactivity and sweep more slowly, in order to be more sensitive to deep masses and obtain more thorough penetration. Users familiar with the Gold Maxx Power have already had a foretaste of the Reactivity (recovery speed) of XP’s detectors. And even though Dēus is a particularly fast and selective detector, you now have the option of adjusting the reactivity setting to make it even more selective! By way of example, and to help you better understand the reactivity levels available, you should note that the reactivity of most detectors on the market is generally only equivalent to level 1 of the Dēus. This is true, for instance, of the Gold Maxx and earlier XP models. The Gold Maxx Power has a reactivity equivalent to level 2 of the Dēus. Higher reactivity levels (3, 4, 5) enable the detector to tolerate fast sweeps better.
ExamplePassing the coil over an iron object close to the surface then over a good metal target (ring).With a low Reactivity level, the iron is detected for a longer duration, to the extent that it completely hides the ring. A high Reactivity level enables you to distinguish the ring completely from the iron.The audio signal fully indicates the target.Full soundShort soundNo sound01234514In terms of pure performance, the greatest detection ranges are obtained with low reactivity levels. However, you will nd more targets on dicult ground with medium or high reactivity levels. So do not just rely on performance in optimal conditions.Depending on the reactivity level, you will notice that the length of the audio signal varies when it passes over a target:Low reactivity (0, 1) = long sound High reactivity (3, 4, 5) = short soundEvidently the length of any false signals (the crackling of iron for example) will vary proportionately as well.You are therefore advised not to constantly change the reactivity level, as this may interfere with your ability to distinguish good and bad sounds.With a medium Reactivity level, you begin detecting the ring.The audio signal partially indicates the target.
The Audio Curve enables you to amplify the sound volume of distant targets and therefore to be more alert to them. It gives the sensation of greater power, however it does not provide any additional depth as this setting only aects the sound curve (the dynamic range of sounds). By amplifying small signals you will also be amplifying small spurious false signals. By increasing the sound response you will compress the dynamic range and thus reduce the appreciation of a target’s distance.Notch complements discrimination: it enables a "window" of targets to be rejected whereas discrimination rejects all targets below a selected threshold. For example, if you detect a redundant, undesirable target in the ground, you can decide just to reject the corresponding conductivity group and continue to detect targets whose conductivity is higher and lower than those in this group. If the reference target has a conductivity of 37, adjust the Notch value to 34-40 using All targets whose conductivity is between 34 and 40 will then be silenced. Exit with By default, the width of the rejection window is 6 points.

The dierent levels of soil mineralisation you encounter when prospecting can sometimes aect 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 former human settlement (also magnetic): hearths, pottery, hot rocks, slag, etc. At the seashore this may also involve mineralisation ranging from magnetic grade (black sand) to electrical conductor grade (salt water) depending on the beach or region. If you are an experienced detectorist you may wish to optimise your searches to achieve better penetration in some of these mineralised soils. In magnetic ground with relatively uniform mineralisation, a setting which is adjusted according to the ground eect will improve penetration by reducing the amplitude of the ground signals sent back by the receiver circuits. This ‘adapted setting’ involves adjusting your ground balance value to the average value of the ground being detected, while adding 1 so as not to hear the ground signals as much. The tracking and pumping modes do this automatically if the ground conditions allow it. Attention: As the ground balance setting is the one requiring the most experience of the ground, we recommend that you read this chapter carefully and use the dierent ground balance modes carefully, while acquiring your own experience of the ground.By default, remain in manual mode at level 90 on inland ground and on dry beach sand. If the ground is not mineralised there is no need to adjust your ground balance to a level other than 90: since the ground does not send back any signicant spurious echo the performance will be optimal even at level 90 and you will reduce interference resulting from knocks to the coil.On the main menu, two values are permanently displayed:MENU G.B.OPTION1 - BASIC 1 16The ground mineralisation index (level measured constantly by Dēus for information).The actual level of ground eect corrections (adjustment underway).General features

MANUAL BEACHTRACKINGG.B FAIL18Pumping is a semi-automatic process which allows you to adjust the ground balance in a zone that you have determined as being representative of the mean level of the ground being prospected.Henceforth, the measured value of the ground is entered in memory and used as the new active ground balance value. If this value is unsuitable, or if it generates too much instability, you can to modify it by, for instance, adding several extra rejection points. If a metal target is detected while you are pumping, Dēus will recognise this and display the message It will then retain the previous ground balance value.This problem is generally caused by iron being present. If this is the case then move to another location and restart the pumping mode. In low- or non-mineralised ground, there is no need to adjust the ground balance and you are advised to remain on 90 for greater stability. extracted signals to determine the mean value on a continual basis. This mode may be useful in soils with relatively uniform mineralisation, and where the mineralisation varies gradually from zone to zone, which is often the case in naturally mineralised ground. In this case, Dēus automatically readjusts the ground balance according to the most recent value measured.However, in ground where mineralisation has resulted from human presence (ancient settlements, for example) this mode may be unsuitable due to the disparity in the ground events.
19Indeed, within the same sweep of just one metre, a considerable variety of ground events may be encountered, ranging from one extreme to the other (values between 70 and 90): hot rocks, brick, slag, pottery interspersed with soil that is neutral or characterised by diverse mineralisation. This may be to such an extent that any mean value would be meaningless. You must then determine an acceptable level of rejection for the ground based on your own experience of the site, your detection methods and the interference that you are prepared to tolerate. This mode is not available in Beach mode, in wet areas, as the Pumping mode is more eective. Low ground balance levels also generate the clearest signals on certain irons that are already dicult to eliminate. With some digital detectors on the market, you will note that when the ground balance settings are low – either in Manual, Pumping or Tracking mode – hot rocks do not register, as they have been somewhat ‘notched’ or inhibited. This trick gives you good stability regardless of the ground rejection level, however it also deprives you of the benets of a well-adjusted ground balance, and worse, gives you the impression that your settings are well congured.Very often the deepest targets in magnetic soil are identied with a signature similar to that of hot rocks, and are therefore detected poorly with this kind of device (as they are ‘notched’).Dēus on the contrary gives you full control over the ground settings. When you lower the ground balance (87-85-82 etc.) you fully accept hot rocks, which is the only way to obtain real gains in terms of penetration on certain magnetic soils.

Place the coil at a height of approximately 5 cm (2") above the ground on a zone free of metal targets Press (Pinpoint) The sound threshold is calibrated and you are switched to none motion mode. Calibration of the threshold can be repeated at any time by pressing the Pinpoint button again. If you are continually searching in none motion mode you will need to recalibrate this threshold at regular intervals.The stability and sensitivity of the none motion mode will depend on how eectively the detector has been calibrated:If you recalibrate the threshold with the coil too far from the ground, then sensitivity will be lower but the device will be more stable. If you recalibrate the threshold with the coil too close to the ground, then its sensitivity in none motion mode will be high but the device will be unstable on the ground. The ground mineralisation should help you determine the best height for obtaining the desired level of sensitivity. In Motion Mode, very rapid crossed sweeps are usually sucient to locate a target. Dēus is designed to operate most of the time in Motion Mode, which means that a metal target will only be detected if the detector’s coil is moving. However, the detector can also be operated in Pin Point mode, if required, which means that it will detect even if the coil is motionless above a target.In modern detectors, none motion mode is most often used to locate a target more precisely (pinpointing).However this mode is also very useful for detecting the presence of metal in cramped locations, where there is not enough space to swing the coil, or if there is too much interfering metal around the target. For example, locating hiding places inside houses, cellars and walls.None motion mode is also widely used in the construction industry to locate metal pipes, as it enables them to be continually tracked.

When delivered, the headphones and remote control have already been paired with the original coil, so no action is required on your part.However, if you purchase an additional coil, before using it for the rst time you need to pair it with the remote control and the headphones, to enable it to recognise and communicate with them.You can then change coils with a simple click using the remote control (pg 23) or your headphones (pg 30).If you leave the headphones switched on when you pair the remote control with a new coil, they are also paired with this new coil, which is then added automatically to the list in the headphones menu (pg 24).If you do not have the remote control, or in the event of a problem, you can manually pair the headphones with a new coil. To do this you need the serial number of the coil to be paired: Press until you reach COIL Choose a free slot with for example 02 (01 is already assigned to the original coil).If this coil has already been paired with the remote control, ensure you choose the same slot number in the headphones.

The LiPo batteries are designed to bear hundreds of charges and to last several years in your detector, thus resulting in signicant savings in terms of purchase of batteries.After 300 to 400 charging cycles the battery still has 80% of its capacity, which then gradually begins to decrease over subsequent cycles. As an indication, the batteries should last for around 3 to 4 years when used on a weekly basis. Attention: long-term storage of discharged batteries may reduce their overall durability. If the detector has to be placed in storage, rst charge the batteries to half of their capacity (40 to 70%).Ideally you should then discharge/recharge them at least once a month.Do not store your device for long periods with discharged batteries!The three Dēus batteries are identical.The batteries for the wireless headphones and the remote control are easy to replace as they are connected to the circuit with a mini-connector and double-sided adhesive tape.The search coil battery is sealed for obvious reasons of safety and impermeability.It must be returned to our service department or an XP distributor for replacement.REPLACING BATTERIES34

Press Choose DISCRI with Press Choose 2 tones - 3 tones - 4 tones - Pitch using You can use the Multi-tones menu to sort targets into categories according to their conductivity, by assigning a specic audio tone to each category. The higher the target’s conductivity, the higher the pitch of the tone.Take some time to become familiar with the 2 tones, 3 tones, 4 tones modes using dierent targets, such as an iron nail and some aluminium foil, dierent coins, etc. The lowest pitched tone is assigned to iron. If you do not wish to hear it, select “Iron Volume” from the menu and reduce its volume to 0. If you are in 2 tones mode (low/medium tone) and you reduce the iron level (low-pitched tone) to 0, you then nd yourself in 1 tone mode (medium), which is why there is no 1 tone mode in this scrolling menu.Pitch mode is completely dierent from the others. It does not take into account the target’s conductivity: the strength of the signal generates an audio signal that varies both in amplitude and height (the audio frequency).This means that a more distant target will generate a low-pitched, weak sound whereas a closer target will generate a high-pitched, strong sound. Pitch mode gives signals particular dynamism and can be useful for locating targets. It also makes the detector seem more reactive. However, it does not fundamentally aect reactivity, just the audio.MULTI TONESThis section covers the advanced settings.

Press Scroll with and select Press Choose 2 tones - 3 tones - 4 tones - Pitch with Once you have selected the number of tones (for example: 4 tones) Press You have the option of customising the sound partitioning of the discrimination range.A sound frequency (comparatively low- or high-pitched) is assigned to each part of the discrimination range. In this example, a low-pitched sound (202 Hz) is assigned to the signals from 0 to 10, a higher-pitched sound (518 Hz) is assigned to the part from 10 to 60, then 644 Hz is assigned to 60 to 87 and lastly a very high-pitched sound (757 Hz) is assigned to the part from 87 to 99. Press in order to move the cursor (black triangle) from one setting zone to another.Note that the cursor rst moves up and down to indicate the sound frequencies used, then from left to right to indicate each threshold. Adjust the sound frequencies and thresholds with Example: If a coin type, which your device registers as 58 on the conductivity index, signals as “medium low” (518 Hz) and you wish it to be signalled as “medium high” (644 Hz), you simply lower the threshold from 60 to 57 or less. Now, all coins with this conductivity value will register at 644 Hz. The black bar showing the index of the target is displayed in the top left of the screen (black bar) for help. This enables you to directly adjust the sound responses for targets you select as references. The threshold 1 separating the low-pitched tone (tone 1) from the medium tone (tone 2) is the same as the Discrimination value. These are the same settings.

It is adjusted using Press x2 to return to the main menu.By default the power is set to level 2, which oers a very dependable performance level that is largely sucient in most cases.The power only has a subtle eect on the device’s pure performance with regard to sensitivity. However, it increases your detector’s power consumption as well as alter its stability on dicult ground.On iron-infested, mineralised ground, there is no need to use a high power setting, level 1 will be sucient as in any case it is impossible to detect deeply in this kind of ground.It is therefore better to limit the saturation caused by iron and the ground by lowering the setting. In this way you will improve analysis and will ultimately nd as many, if not more, targets since you will be better able to hear them. Power is set to maximum for the 4 kHz frequency.

These partially discriminated iron objects often generate a few audible remnants of broken, inconsistent signals (crackling).Depending on your abilities and preferences, you may wish to remove this crackling using the Silencer.When you increase the value of the silencer you are applying a lter which eliminates the crackling caused by iron.Level 2 represents a good compromise, but if you have diculty distinguishing iron from non-iron, then use a higher level such as 2, 3 or 4. The Reactivity menu takes precedence over the silencer, so if you change the reactivity value this automatically imposes an appropriate silencer value.

INCORRECTCORRECT41Metal 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 dierent 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.To ensure that the site is suitable for practising, swing the coil over the ground as if detecting. If you hear a multitude of sounds then move to another place. Once you have found a suitable spot, arrange your objects on the ground, spacing them approximately two coil widths apart. Before placing an object, use the device to check that there is no metal already in the ground.Then, take some time to observe your device’s reactions when it passes over each target. You can then sort them according to the sound response type and try and understand what makes them similar or dierent. If you feel comfortable with this exercise, you can also try out some of the pre-congured settings.When detecting, it is important that you sweep the coil parallel to the ground, using wide movements, as close as possible to the surface (without actually touching it). Proximity to the ground will increase the likelihood of detecting a deep target and will enable the most discreet objects to be identied more easily. You are advised to avoid knocking the coil, as although it is designed to tolerate this kind of stress, careful treatment will prolong the life of the device and guarantee you better perception of targets.PRACTICAL INFORMATION
When you are detecting, you are free to choose the rate at which you move. For example, if you prefer to cover a zone at high speed while detecting, this will certainly give youa global ‘snapshot’ of the site. However, it is clear that this way of detecting will also leave large areas of ground unexplored between each sweep. On the other hand, if you insist on closely scrutinising every inch of the ground, you should ensure that each sweep slightly overlaps the previous one, in order to reduce to a minimum the area that your coil has not scanned.You should also bear in mind that you will further increase your chances of nding and identifying a target by sweeping more slowly. This particularly applies in metal-infested ground (when there are more targets to be sorted) or when you are searching for deeper targets. Once the detector has indicated the approximate presence of a target in Motion mode, if you are having diculty locating the target then sweep the place where you heard the sound. Slowly reduce the amplitude of your movements and make a mental note of the spot where the sound is loudest. If necessary, indicate it with a mark on the ground. Then move a quarter turn around the spot and begin sweeping again in the same way (at 90° to the rst sweep). You should then locate the precise zone containing your target at the intersection of the two sweeps, where the sound is loudest. Continue with crossed sweeps over the target. The loudest and highest pitched audio signal indicates the centre of the coil and therefore the position of the target. 42Target
Dēus is a precision device, designed to better address any detection constraints and 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:43Do 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. Neither the remote control nor the headphones are waterproof. In wet weather be sure to protect them!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 sucient.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.

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.49Ensure 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.

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, and do not emit any signals.56Safety relating to electromagnetic radio wavesFCCFCC ID : XFJ225 FCC ID : XFJIHM FCC ID : XFJBKF XP METAL DETECTORThis device complies with part 15 and part 18 of the FCC Rules.
