Baiker Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 I would like to ask how the 8 speeds of the response of the 800-th model correspond to the 3-rd speeds of the response of the 600th model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't speak from direct knowledge on this, but will offer one possibility on how it could be set up. 600 setting vs 800 1 or the slowest setting would be the same 2 on the 600 equal to a setting of 3 on the 800 3 equal to 6 on the 800. That leaves the faster settings 7 and 8 of the 800 for the advanced users more likely to purchase it. On the other hand why hamper the 600 by not allowing it the same fast reactivity speed as the 800. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baiker Posted December 10, 2017 Author Share Posted December 10, 2017 So I wanted to understand what their relationship is: 1 = 1,2 = 4,3 = 8? or 1 = 2.2 = 4.3 = 6? That is, without the slowest and fastest? I apologize, I write through Google translator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baiker Posted December 10, 2017 Author Share Posted December 10, 2017 Maybe tomorrow, however, Steve will appear and explain what the difference is and what their relationship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Herschbach Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Good question. I have been using the Equinox 800 exclusively since in theory the Equinox 600 is just a subset of whatever exists in the Equinox 800. My assumption therefore has been that the three Detect Speed (similar to Reactivity on a Deus) simply reflect "Slowest, Medium, and Fastest" which would equate to 1, 4.5, and 8 on the Equinox 800. The extra levels on the 800 I assumed are just for better fine tuning between those levels. But now that you ask the question I realize I honestly do not know. The more I think about it the more that I think that would not make sense. The fastest and slowest Detect Speeds are both quite extreme, and so having three settings that are more functional in a range of normal situations makes more sense for the Equinox 600. Otherwise you would find few situations where anything other than the middle setting of 2 would ever be used. Hopefully I will be able to clarify that soon. Thanks for asking - and welcome to the forum! One thing for sure - I don't see anyone being disappointed with the speed of the Equinox. Lightning fast in dense trash and that's no exaggeration. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baiker Posted December 12, 2017 Author Share Posted December 12, 2017 Steve, thank you, we will wait for the detailed information. And do you use reactivity 1 and 8 in your search? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek McLennan Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 HI Guys, as far as I know, the final reactivity / target recovery speed equivalent response speeds between the two models (600 & 800) will be as follows: 600 800 1 2 2 4 3 6 So, the 800 will have one level lower and two levels higher recovery speed settings than the 600. It will also have the intermediate target recovery speed settings of '3' and '5' and thus can be fine tuned a little more than the 600 model. I usually run the 800 prototype at 3, 4, 5, or 6 for 'normal' detecting (environment dependant) and occasionally at 7 & 8 depending on how trashy the detecting environment is. You will of course lose some depth with the higher recovery speeds, but as they are really designed for trashy areas, your depth would be limited by the proliferation of trash anyway and these recovery speeds are designed to hunt out the small targets in between it all. I hope this helps. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope this helps. And hunt very proficiently I presume/hope. I was going to quote this with an emphasis on "small", but since you are in the UK it's not necessary.
