TECHNICAL INTRODUCTION 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 offers an unique system based on different wireless elements communicating via a digital radio link.

FACTORY PROGRAMS # 1 - GOLD For low / average mineralisation, good sensitivity to medium and large sized Gold. # 2 - FINE GOLD For heavy mineralisation / with good sensitivity to small and medium sized Gold. # 3 - COIN FAST For coins and all types of targets good performance on mineralised or contaminated ground. # 4 - COIND DEEP For coins and all types of targets good performance on low mineralised / uncontaminated ground. Customisable GOLD or COIN program.
MENU GND LEVEL GND BALANCE GND MEASURE Configuring the main detection settings. Press Scroll through the menu by pressing SENSITIVITY Adjust the Sensitivity level (from 0 to 99) with MENU Exit with . Sensitivity is often described as the setting which adjusts the device’s power SENS FREQUENCY level. Increased sensitivity levels can enable the ORX to detect deeper targets REACTIVITY but may cause an unstable operation.The most commonly used sensitivity levels range from 50 to 80.
MENU DISCRIMINATION IAR PROGRAMS 1 & 2 GOLD 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.
GROUND General features Different levels of soil mineralisation can affect 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).
GROUND AUTOMATIC MODE ~ 6 inch ~ 15 cm 1- GOLD 27800 HZ GND LEVEL GND BALANCE GND MEASURE On the controller, press the “ Ground Balance” button once briefly while pumping the coil to the ground. The ORX will grab and calibrate the current ground value and stabilise your ORX. The number on the lower left of the screen (GND BALANCE) displays the users set ground value. Don’t keep the “Ground Balance” button pressed during this operation, just press it once during the pumping process.
OPTION GND LEVEL GND BALANCE GND MEASURE With the option menu you can save your settings, create new programs and . configure your equipment’s basic parameters. Press CONFIGURATION OPTION PINPOINTERS CONFIGURATION PROGRAMS COILS Choose CONFIGURATION with then press SELECT . SELECT Loudspeaker Enables the remote control’s loudspeaker to be activated or de-activated. Backlight The backlight is activated as soon as a button is pressed and then switches off after a certain length of time.
OPTION COILS Pairing the remote control with a new coil If you purchase an additional coil you need to pair it. Enter the coil serial number into the remote control to communicate with the ORX. The serial number is printed on the coil and on the invoice. Follow the following steps: Entering the serial number , choose Press COILS with and press SELECT . Choose an unsed slot (ex: 03: - - - - - - ) with and press SELECT .
OPTION PINPOINTER MI-6 When connected the MI-6 pinpointer transmits its audio signal directly tto the DEUS, a new menu will now be available with extended functions. Pairing the MI-6 to the ORX Choose OPTION COILS Press PINPOINTER CONFIGURATION PROGRAMS . and select PINPOINTER . Turn on the MI-6 , then hold the button down for 8 seconds. SELECT Once paired the MI-6 will operate with the DEUS. When pairing, the MI-6 automatically switches to program 7 (ORX / DEUS).
OPTION THE MI-6 - EXTENDED FUNCTIONS Sensitivity The MI-6 has 50 levels of sensitivity via the remote control. CONFIGURATION SENS Press TONE AUDIO or To adjust the sensitivity levels via the remote control. For precise object location, low sensitivity levels, such as prog 1 and 2, are recommended. The high sensitivity level (prog 3) is for cache location or searching in walls and furniture.
POWER SUPPLY-BATTERIES USB CHARGER (not included) The ORX can be charged using any standard USB 5V certified charger with a minimum capacity of 1A and 5V output. 1A 5V USB charger is enough to charge the 3 elements together (coil/remote/headphone). A computer USB output is also suitable and can charge 1 or 2 elements at a time (eg : coil + remote). Take care about the quality of the charger and never use unknown or unbranded cheap products.
POWER SUPPLY-BATTERIES BATTERY STATUS The REMOTE CONTROL alternately displays : The symbol which indicates the remote control’s charge level. 1- GOLD 27800 HZ GND LEVEL GND BALANCE GND MEASURE The symbol which indicates the coil’s charge level. 100% charged 30% charged 60% charged BATTERY LIFE WSA: 15 hours REMOTE CONTROL: 19 hours COIL : ± 25 hours The search coil’s battery life may vary depending on the modes used. The table below shows battery life according to frequency.
POWER SUPPLY-BATTERIES Batteries - The batteries are fitted with internal protection systems which shield them from extreme overloads and discharges. They must not be dismantled or short-circuited, which is dangerous. - Do not leave batteries charging unnecessarily. - If you notice any perforation, odour or other anomaly, please take the battery to a designated collection point. - Never dispose of lithium batteries with your household waste: depose them at a collection point.
TROUBLESHOOTING You become aware of abnormal performance, instability, false signals, interference, for no apparent reason CAUSES SOLUTIONS Sensitivity is too high. Lower it (pg 05). You are in a zone with a lot of interference (high-voltage power lines, electric transformer, electric fence). Lower the sensitivity change frequency/ frequency shift or move to a different zone. There is a storm nearby and the electromagnetic discharges of lightning are interfering with the detector.
