Sorry, it was not my intention, just upper case by accident

Ask Joe, he has tested it

I guess they would not do such a silly thing😉 The 8" coil is coming with a removable coil cover (65gr). That could be used as a ballast in the water if the coil happens to float. Without coil cover, it is very light since it is made with glass bubble-filled epoxy as is the 12.5" coil model. We strongly feel that a coil cover is optional as the back of the coil is made of very hard epoxy. Le Jag has never used a coil cover for many years without any visible wearing. Ask Joe, he has field tested the proto.

Just ballast it

It is coming, the field tests of the proto are finished and it has been validated Light as a feather and tough as a rock😉

Wireless : Could be but independently from the Impulse system, i.e. using an external BT transponder. NO BT inside the enclosure. 14" coil NO, 8" coil option YES Salinity problems? Reported problems had nothing to do with salinity. The salinity of any large Ocean water remains within very narrow limits. There is nothing special about the waters in Mexican Gulf, Florida, California or Hawaii. The enclosed seas are usually much more saline than open ocean 'e.g. Mediterranean, red sea, dead sea or some specific salted lakes. Demo have been made that the Impulse is insensitive to highly saline water. 20' depth NO, this is NOT a diver unit; Most probably 10' as the close competition depending on further testing 8-10h battery : maybe, depending on further testing with various types of battery cells

Agreed!!!

❓❓❓❓❓❓ Could you give us the link to that podcast? Thanks

Alexandre was hired by FTP based on his N'th operational prototype version then named AQUAMANTA. FTP has renamed it Impulse AQ for marketing reasons but it is exactly the same as the AQUAMANTA. FTP has prepared the industrialization under close control of Alexandre. The Impulse AQ LTD is now in normal production at El Paso and Alexandre is now working on the prototype of the Impulse GOLD version. Le Jag (Denis) has always been the preferred tester of Alexandre for all his consecutive prototype versions. As such, he owns the latest prototype version and uses it routinely on his Brittany beaches with the success that is seen from his postings. This success is due to several factors: His years long experience in using any type of PI His very good knowledge of the dynamics of his preferred beaches and the high tides. The very good performance of the AQ His experience in using ALL-METAL mode at all time and still hear the differences between a hair pin or iron nail and a gold ring. The fact that people here are not wearing 10k or 14K but 18K jewelry. A very good health and powerful muscles to manipulate that large scoop he is using to dig such deep holes.

First passes were in all metal mode. Then, in tone mode and, finally in mute mode The iron nail is fully discriminated but the lead bullet gives a lower tone than the gold or aluminium. The pull tab can not be discriminated out.

I had not seen this new option. The edit button was before at the bottom of the post. Thanks

Question 1: YES Question 2 : No comment😉 Question 3 Yes, it is perfectly Possible

You would have preferred that there was NO manual?😉 This manual will be modified later but the mods will only be slight updates about the battery aspects. Nothing dramatic!!

Have a look at it now. Still unfinished but, at least it is there. This is a first draft from Alexandre to be completed and kept up-to-date later on by the official marketing support of FTP.

We try to compensate for the lack of official marketing communication channel.

For us, it is the least we should do to users who have paid to be guinea pigs.

Simple, we just make the average of all the comments on THIS forum and if it is over 0, we are quite happy.😉😢 For the OTHER forum(s), we just ignore them.

This is indeed not normal. This could come from the battery cells inside the pack BUT it could also be a problem in the battery charger. When you get in contact with FTP support, you should probably return both of them to be verified.

This was the exact report. He not only went on dry sand but also was digging every target while learning the sounds.

Just to clarify this point once for all: The only problem with the AQ of Deb was that the coil cable was not fixed tightly enough to the lower shaft; it was moving in the water and thus, generated the false signals. Tightly fixing the cable on the lower shaft is a general requirement for all sensitive detectors. Nothing to do with the Florida waters,. The 12" coil works perfectly in salted water. provided the pulse delay is slightly increased.

If the chatting is already in those conditions in your backyard, one could suspect local EMI troubles. Try changing the pulse frequency on several positions at startup of the system and use the position generating the less noise..

https://www.facebook.com/groups/Fisher.IMPULSE.AQ.Metal.detector Extracted and translated from there: What to plan for before buying the future Impulse AQ from Fisher: an appointment with his banker.(In the process a small gift for Madam, to pass the pill) a subscription to the gym, because if you are not used to digging holes of 40 cm or more, it will be useful. (Not to mention the filling, just as physical sometimes) to be done in good conditions, a suitable digging tool, sifting shovel, sand scoop, call it what you want, it must be part of the adventure. (Stain Steel preferred) be well shod, the afternoons will be long, hard to stop when it bites. an XXL garbage bag, because there will be some (PI obliges), and it would not be correct to leave them there, but you already know that, don't you. perhaps the most important, patience, hours of observation in search of a good spot, to come and go on the sand, but not only, between the rocks, under the pebbles. .. Yes, it won't be looking for you, it will find it, but only if you are in the right place. a good front light, a car charger, something to warm up, and room in the trunk for you and your detection buddies. And yes, all of this is to add to your wildest golden dreams, good night everyone. Didier.

Special thanks to JIim.🎺🎺 We were lost in space to guess what that could be 😢
