METER MAINTENANCE For Analog Meter Systems
(Excludes All Digital Readouts)
The main problem with analog meters is that they can easily build up a static charge on the
window. This can be caused by attempting to clean the window with a dry cloth, shipping
the unit by air, detecting near power lines, etc. To determine if your unit has static buildup,
wave your finger right above the meter. If the meter jumps around and does not sit still, you
have static buildup. The detector will not ID properly if there is any static buildup. You can
resolve this problem by using a antistatic liquid in a spray bottle. Most electronic stores
carry a product for static problems. Just spray a small amount on the window then wipe it
dry with a cloth. Test the window again for static charge by rubbing your finger on it. If the
needle still jumps, follow the same procedure.
Maintenance for Meter or Digital Readout Windows
Sometimes a window may completely fall off. The window is held on to the control panel
by double-sided tape. The reason for this is so that the manufacturer will have easy access
to your meter system in case adjustment is required. When replacing the window on an
analog meter system, always spray both the inside and outside with a antistatic formula;
digital readouts are not affected by static buildup. If the older tape has lost its tackiness,
replace it with new double-sided tape being careful to cut it to match the mounting areas.
OTHER USES FOR YOUR BOUNTY HUNTER
It's surprising how many uses are applicable with your Bounty Hunter. These applications
fall outside of the "Treasure Hunting" category. To illustrate a few:
1. You can use your Bounty Hunter for finding survey landmarks or stakes that delineate
property lines. To do this, you need to keep in mind what types of metal they are made of.
Most landmarks and stakes are made of iron. Because of this, you cannot operate your
Bounty Hunter in the DISC mode for you will not be able to detect iron objects.
Fortunately, there usually is not a lot of trash metal to contend with when hunting for
landmarks, and you should have no trouble operating in the ALL METALS mode.
2. Plumbing is also another application. If you ever need to find a shutoff valve or possibly
a pipe, that is not too deep, your Bounty Hunter may also fill your needs. Again, you have
to consider what type of metal you're detecting. If your shutoff valve is made of brass, you
will be able to detect it in the DISC mode. If any of your plumbing fittings you're looking for
are made of iron or galvanized steel you will have to operate in the ALL METALS mode to
be able to detect them.
3. Finding nails in boards before breaking or wearing out your saw blade on it, is also an
excellent application for your Bounty Hunter. Remember, your Bounty Hunter will usually
not pick up a nail in the DISC Mode-use the All Metals Motion Mode. Many lumber yards
are using metal detectors for this same purpose.
4. If you're into archery, you know how expensive it can be to lose metal arrowheads. The
Bounty Hunter has been used effectively to recover arrowheads for many serious archers.
5. Studs in walls can be found in the ALL METALS mode because of the nails used to
hang the drywall. If you're looking for a sturdy place to hang that heavy picture frame, pull
out your Bounty Hunter.
