ColonelDan Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 In a separate thread, I addressed the question asking why one shouldn't just set the Salt Sens at 1 Based on the manual position on page 18 which says that the higher the Salt Sens setting is, TIDs less than 30 would be attenuated. The hard copy manual clearly uses "higher" as shown. Later I saw where the on line version states that the "lower" the Setting, the TIDs less than 30 would be attenuated. On Line Manual It seems that XP has a discrepancy here. In any case, I intend to test this on Sunday to try and determine what effect low salt sens settings have on a thin 10k ring. I'll post my observations shortly thereafter. Just be aware that there is a discrepancy in the manuals. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandheron Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 It was lost in translation in the original manual. French said lower English said higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midalake Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 So have we figured this out? Is 9 the high of the scale or low of the scale? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One would assume that 9 was high and 1 was low. 😆 However, thru my testing on Sunday, I'm going to establish my salt sensitivity start point by determining whatever level is the most stable that can reliably detect that small gold ring....regardless of the number or what the manual says. I'm going after the "sweet spot." If that's 1 OK, if it's some other number, that's OK too. My only interest is optimal performance. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff McClendon Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 The online English version manual is correct. That is what the French and German manuals also say. The German manual was incorrect for a while too. Now, if the original French wording is wrong, at least they have all currently been translated the same way.......... I would do what you are doing Colonel Dan and just figure it out for your beach conditions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chase Goldman Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 Set Salt sensitivity as high as you can for stability (less chatter). If you set it lower to gain stability the trade off is loss of sensitivity to small gold (or mid-conductive targets at TID 30 that now look like salt as far as the detector salt sensitvity filter is concerned). 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chase, that setting (used as a start point) is what I intend to determine on Sunday. 😉 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdv Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 Colonel Dan, just a thought (can be dangerous but here goes) ....you may not notice any real difference in the depth with salt settings and the small 10k ring. You may be better served testing with a target that air tests closer to 30 as your test piece. May end up being a chain like target. All the rings I've tested were approximately 45 and higher. None the less, I can't wait to hear your results. Cliff 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fabio Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 from the manual in Italian : BEACH SENS incorpora frequenze fino a circa 40 kHz per un'elevata sensibilità a bersagli più piccoli senza perdite sugli altri. È il programma spiaggia che offre la massima profondità sul bagnato, ma è anche il più nervoso. • Eseguire la scansione rimanendo parallela senza sollevare la platina alla fine della scansione. Se non sei in grado di controllare correttamente la scansione e senti instabilità: - Diminuisci Salt Sens (vedi Menu) per ridurre la sensibilità all'acqua di mare. - Aumentare la Reattività a 1, 2 o 2,5. - Ridurre la risposta audio. • Attivare B.Caps se sono presenti molti cappucci a corona ferrosi per avere più stabilità in acqua salata è necessario ridurre il senso di sale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
