User Manual

Thank you for your choice in purchasing a

Viking metal detector. It is important that you

read the following instructions carefully so

that you can obtain the maximum benefit and

success from your detector. The Viking 1 and

Viking 5 have identical circuitry and therefore

the operating instructions are the same.

How To Tune And Use Your Detector

When you have assembled your detector, make

sure that the cable is wrapped around the shaft

so that it doesn't hang loose. Both detectors

operate from a single PP3 BATTERY. At the

bottom of the control box you will find a drawer

which slides out. Engraved in the bottom of the

drawer is indicated which way round the battery

is inserted. Fit in a single PP3 battery and slide

back in.

MAKE ABSOLUTELY SURE THAT THE

BATTERY IS PLACED IN THE CORRECT WAY

OR THE DETECTOR WILL NOT WORK

On the top of the box you will see two controls,

one being OFF-ON-FINE TUNE control - and

one being COARSE TUNE With both controls

fully anti-clockwise, switch the detector ON by

turning the FINE TUNE control clockwise and set

it around midway. While holding the detector,

position the search head so that it is parallel to

the ground or approx. 2 inches (5cm) making

sure that the search head is kept away from

metal. Turn the COARSE TUNE clockwise until a

sound is heard and then turn slightly back so

that the sound almost disappears. This point is

known as THRESHOLD and is the detectors

most sensitive position. By adjustment of the

FINE TUNE control this will enable you to

maintain THRESHOLD.

With your detector now tuned to THRESHOLD,

by lowering your search head towards the

ground the faint sound will disappear and by

raising the detector the sound will become

louder. These are normal reactions and do not

necessarily indicate the presence or lack of

buried objects.

Therefore by keeping the search head parallel to

the ground commence by sweeping the ground

from side to side in an arc fashion with the

search head as close as possible to the ground.

Retuning may be necessary to maintain

THRESHOLD. On hearing a sharp note, this

indicates that a small metallic object is present

and a long note indicates a larger object.

Strength of note is also dependent on the depth

of the object.

ONLY PRACTICE USING YOUR DETECTOR

WILL ENSURE PERFECT USE

Headphone Socket

A headphone socket is situated next to the two

tuning controls. By plugging in stereo type

headphones cuts out the loudspeaker in your

detector. Headphones give slightly more

sensitivity as they cut out external noises, which

can interfere with your ability to hear weaker

signals, which are usually deeper

How deep can a metal detector search? Verified

How deep a metal detector can search depends on a number of things, like the size ofn the object, the soil type, surface circumstances and the settings on the metal detector. The maximum detectable depth of single coin with a professional metal detector is around 70cm. Large objects can be found up to a depth of 40m with a professional metal detector.
