Viking Metal Detectors

What Is The Purpose Of The Sensitivity Control?

The sensitivity control increases or decreases the metal detector’s depth penetration in the motion mode. Obviously, one wants to detect as deep as possible, but there may be times when the metal detector gives false signals or behaves in an erratic manner. This could be due to bad ground or some electrical interference from power lines or transmitters etc.

In these circumstances, backing off the sensitivity level should help to achieve reliable operation.
