Concord Features

Multiple Search Tools

The search tools with distinctive design and advanced technology available in Concord provide the prospector

the required tool to search for all kinds of minerals, buried metal targets and treasures of various sizes and at different depths.

Concord includes the following search tools:

IMTU (Intelligent Multi Transceiver Unit)

This probe is a unit whose mission is to send high-frequency electromagnetic waves in the direction in which the user is searching,

these signals intersect with the electromagnetic fields emitted by the underground metal targets and turn into reflected signals

that are received through the antennas, and the signal after processing is converted into digital signals.

Search Coils (PS50, PS36, PS28)

The device includes 3 different-sized search coils that work with improved pulse induction technology with a search system

that matches each coil. The coils provide outstanding performance in various detection applications in search of targets

of different size and depth of gold, jewelry and ancient coins.

5 Search System

Concord device integrates five search systems, three L.R.L systems, and two systems related to the pulse induction technology

based on search coil used.

All search systems include options and settings to customize the search, as well as visual representations and digital indicators

that give the user a rich experience during the search process.

The device includes the following search systems:

1 – Manual Long Range System / MANUAL LRL /

This search system uses the I.M.T.U PROBE , which sends high-frequency waveforms in the direction of the search,

and the reflected signals are received through a pair of antennas, in this system the type or program of the target to be

searched can be selected, this option means that the device It does not receive any signal except for the target signal

that has been identified, with options to adjust the front distance up to 3000 meters and the depth up to 50 meters

Before starting the search, this system contains 11 separate search programs, which can be selected from the list of targets.

The manual system means the possibility of adjusting the long-range scanning settings manually according to the user’s preferences,

before actually conducting the search.

Here are the settings that can be adjusted:

• Target Type (Metal)

The type of metal of the targets to be searched can be set from a list that includes search programs for all types of metals like:

Gold – silver – copper – iron – diamonds – platinum – bronze …

• Front Scan Range (Distance)

It is the distance that expresses the maximum range that the device scans for different targets and can be set according to specific values ​​

within the range from 0 to 3000 meters (250 – 500 – 750 – 1000 – 1250 – 1500 – 1750 – 2000 – 2250 – 2500 – 2750 – 3000 m)

• Maximum Search Depth (Depth)

This value specifies the maximum depth to search for targets within it through the current search settings,

and can be set in the 0 to 50 meters range.

After setting the previous options, the device searches for targets within the selected scanning field and depth,

the search screen appear that displays a compass-shaped indicator whose pointer points to the direction of the device (north or south …)

and also displays within the same screen a semicircular indicator that expresses the direction of movement of the two antennas,

as the direction of the cursor changes according to their movement when searching.

Among the important features that allow the user to correctly adjust the angle of inclination of the device with respect to the horizon

is the gradient tilt indicator on the right of the screen, the green color indicates the correct acceptable values ​​and the red color for the wrong

values ​​of the inclination angle.

2 – Automatic Long-Range System / AUTO LRL /

AUTO LRL search system uses the I.M.T.U also, to search for signals of potential targets within the long-range scanning field and the reflected signals

are received through a pair of antennas.

It is an advanced search system that covers large areas of the search area and this system has the ability to automatically identify all types of buried

metals within a scanning area of ​​up to 3000 meters and depths of up to 100 meters, and display the results in the form of values ​​indicating the percentage

of detected targets in the vicinity prospector.

The difference from the MANUAL LRL system is that in the automatic system, the device performs a fully automatic scanning in search of potential

metal targets within the search scope.

So, the user only has to choose the system from the list and the device will scan and update the data on the display screen automatically so that it

includes automatically leading the user towards the target location, and the user can choose to show the following options from the screen (in the form of tabs):

• Distance

It expresses the distance in front range and can be set in the range from 0 to 3000 meters as previously described.

• Target Depth

It is the maximum depth of potential targets that the device can reach to find potential targets, and its value can

be set in the range 0 – 100 meters.

• Tracking Target (Direction)

It is an indicator displayed in the form of a semicircle with a pointer indicating the possible direction that

the user should follow to reach the target buried underground.

• Report

Display a bars for (Gold – Silver – Iron – Diamond) that lit and filled based on probability of detection of particular target type.

3 – Control Long Range System [Custom Frequency] / CTRL LRL /

This system provides an unprecedented feature in long-range metal detectors as it enables the user to control the frequency

of searching for different metals, i.e. allocating the frequency value accurately to detect a specific type of metal, for example gold – copper or any other metal alloys.

The user can adjust a set of related settings before performing the search process, namely:

• Soil Type

Soil type refers to the nature of the soil in the land being searched, and predetermined soil types can be chosen:

Rocky soil – sandy soil – clay soil – moist soil …etc.

• Search frequency

It is the value that represents the search frequency that the user can set manually with this option, the values span

in the range of values, and can be set from preset values such as 250 – 500 – 750…. 5000Hz …etc.

• Distance

In addition to the frequency, the scan distance can be set in the forward direction by choosing a value from predefined

values ​​within the range 0 to 3000 meters (250 – 500 – 750 – 1000 – 1250 – 1500 – 1750 – 2000 – 2250 – 2500 – 2750 – 3000 m).

• Depth

To limit the search for targets within a specific search depth, the value is set here by choosing a value within the range between 0 to 50 meters.

After setting the previous settings, the user can start searching and the device will move to the target tracking screen, which includes

the semicircular indicator that represents the direction of movement of the antennas (explained earlier).

4 – Pulse Induction System / PULSE INDUCTION/

The pulse induction technology built into the device is a technology specially developed with better performance features

to detect all kinds of ferrous metals such as iron and non-ferrous metal such as gold, silver and copper to relatively greater depths

thanks to the PS50 search coil (Double D search coil, diameter 50 cm), which is suitable for detecting different targets such as coins

and gold jewelry such as bracelets, rings, and even relatively large metal objects at a depth of about 2-3 meters.

The captured signals represent as curved shape of changing colors on the device screen, and through the color indications

and accompanying audio feedback, the user can discriminate the type of target detected.

In this system, the following options can be set:

• Ground Balance

This option provides ground balancing according to the terrain in the search area, this is done by pressing the OK button

once while keeping the PS50 search coil parallel to the ground until the process is complete, it is important to perform

ground balancing before starting the search.

• Threshold

This option can control the audio threshold of the received signals, which can be set according to the user’s preference,

either to hear the faintest of faint signals coming from very small targets or to ignore it to focus on hearing the signals of larger targets.

The user can set the value between 1 and 6.

• Gain

This setting refers to the option that controls the sound volume of received signals, located at greater depths (deep, not shallow targets),

which can be set within a range of values ​​from 1 to 6, the higher number corresponding to higher volume.

• Sound

This option adjusts the tone of the sound settings, it is possible to choose between several levels of tone, and by changing them,

the visual representation of the signals on the results screen changes.

The results screen displays a color-changing curve graph that changes according to the target the PS50 search coil passes over

and the bottom of the graph displays two indicators that light up depending on the type of target detected (ferrous or non-ferrous).

5 – Smart Detect System / SMART DETECT/

Smart Detect system is an acoustic detection system via search coils (PS36 and PS28) with two detection modes corresponding

to each coil, which provide high sensitivity to detect small metal targets such as small gold nuggets and coins at small depths.

The smart detection system has been developed with a unique detection technology in terms of features and discrimination

between metals that guarantees the best performance in all types of terrain and soils with ease of switching to the appropriate mode

for the size of the targets and the purpose of the search.

When performing a search using the smart detection system, there are two sub modes that correspond to each search coil:

1 – Mode1 / PS36

To use this mode, the PS36 search coil [oval-shaped coil with a diameter of 36 cm] is installed to detect metal targets,

the device displays a screen that includes indicators and buttons through which the detection settings and options can be set as follows:

• Calibration

By selecting this option, the user can perform a coil calibration before starting the search, to get more accurate results.

• Detection Mode

The detection mode is selected by activating one of the three buttons corresponding to the detection mode:

1 – All Metal

It is a general detection mode, by activating it the device can receive signals from targets made of ferrous and non-ferrous metals.

2 – Non-Ferrous

By activating this detection mode, the device filters the signals to receive only the signals of non-ferrous metal targets such as gold,

silver and copper, which means that the device ignores the signals of targets made of ferrous materials.

3 – Ferrous

This detection mode is opposite to the previous mode, where the device receives signals from ferrous targets only,

such as iron, and ignores the signals of other metals.

• Sound

The sound that comes out through the internal speaker of the device is enabled by activating this option or not, and muting the

sound is useful for the prospector in the event that he wants to know the type of target through the digital indicator on screen

without hearing the sound, as is the case in places where there is noise or audio interference due to the terrain or soil type.

• Digital Target ID Indicator

It is a circular digital graphic indicator that displays in the center of the circle a number called the digital target identifier (or Target ID)

​​corresponding to a specific type of metal such as gold, meaning there is a certain number that corresponds to the detection of a target

of gold and so on.

On both sides of the circle there are two symmetrical semicircular indicators consisting of bars that are gradually colored

from bottom to top according to the target signal strength and according to the preset detection mode.

In the case of all metal detection mode, the left semicircular indicator is activated only if the target is non-ferrous (like gold)

and gradient with gradient colors from yellow to red, but in the case of a ferrous target, only the right indicator is activated

and the color gradient is from green to blue.

In the case of non-ferrous metal detection mode, the two indicators are activated together with gradient colors from yellow to red

(the number of enabled bars and their color depends on the strength of the captured signal).

In the case of ferrous metal detection, the two indicators are activated in gradual colors from green to blue, according to the signal strength.

• Acoustic Threshold

This option can control the audio threshold of the received signals, and the user can set it using a vertical indicator

with values ​​from 1 to 6, a higher threshold value corresponds to hearing weaker signals e.g. those coming from very small gold nuggets.

1 – Mode2 / PS28

To use this mode, the PS28 search coil [28 cm diameter search coil] is installed to detect smaller metal targets.

Two vertical indicators on the two sides of the screen and a graphical and digital indicators in the middle are displayed on the system results screen.

The following explains these indicators:

• Sensitivity

The indicator on the left of the screen determines the sensitivity level, and the user can set it to one of 9 levels.

The higher the sensitivity value, the greater the sensitivity of the dial to detect smaller targets and vice versa.

• Threshold

It is a vertical indicator on the right side and determines the value of the audio threshold.

The user can set it to one of 9 values. The higher the value, the greater the probability of hearing the signals

of smaller targets, smaller values ​​correspond to hearing the sound of larger targets.

• Graphical Signal Indicator

Indicator displayed in the middle of the screen, displays the Target ID number above and FE/NONFE indicators

that are activated based on the type of metal detected (ferrous or non-ferrous), as well as a visual representation

of the signal that displays a set of circles with increasing diameters from top to bottom that lights up depending

on the signal strength of the target over which the coil passes.

Display Search Results across Multiple Means

The device provides the user with an integrated system to display the results resulting from the various search systems

included within the device, this integrated system provides adequate and comprehensive information for the prospector to

High Resolution LCD Display

The main unit of the device includes a high-definition LCD color screen with a large size that secures a better view

when adjusting various settings such as choosing the search system and ground scan settings and provides reading numbers

and charts that clearly represent the results.

The color screen of the device provides a visual display of the results within the device program with useful information for

the prospector, including the direction of the search and a report on the type of metal, for example in LRL systems, two-dimensional

representation of the scan area and its contents in imaging systems, and a digital visual representation in pulse induction systems.

Built-in Speaker

All search systems available in the device provide audio feedback through audio tones that direct the user and give him an idea

of ​​the progress of the search process or give him an idea of ​​the nature of the targets as in the systems of pulse induction and smart detection.

Example: In the Live Stream system, the device provide audio tones related to the type of target metal, and the sound intensity varies according

to distance from the target.
