Instruction How to Use a White Bullseye 140mm Pinpointer
Bullseye T R X White's Electronics, Inc. Sweet Home, Oregon USA Building the world's finest metal detectors for over 60 years. 22 Introduction Congratulations on selecting the White's Bullseye TRX pinpointer. The Bullseye TRX is unlike any other pinpointer on the market. Using the latest miniaturized components, we've put a complete ground-‐ balancing Very Low Frequency (VLF) circuit inside the TRX housing. The Bullseye TRX has excellent sensitivity, and "grabs" the ground to detect deeper targets. The Bullseye TRX packs in more features than any other pinpointer. Ratcheting ground grab, proportional response, selectable beeper and/or vibrator, LED light, lanyard loops, dual battery operation, and a weatherproof housing with depth markings make the Bullseye TRX the most complete pinpointer on the market. Batteries The Bullseye TRX can accept either two AA batteries (included) or a single 9V battery. The use of quality alkaline batteries is critical to proper operation. Using low-‐ quality standard or "heavy-‐ duty" batteries will cause performance problems and quick battery exhaustion. Rechargeable NiMH batteries also work well. The best performance and longest run-‐time is achieved with AA Lithium batteries, such as Energizer Ultimate Lithium. Although these batteries are more expensive than alkaline, their exceptionally long life makes them less expensive to use. Battery installation is easy and is illustrated at right. Two AA Batteries − − − One 9V Battery − − 33 Features Audio alert —The Bullseye TRX produces a repeating beep on target detection. The repetition rate of the beeps increases as the probe gets closer to the target. Most targets within 1/4" of the probe result in a continuous tone. The audio alert can be turned off. Holster — Bullseye TRX includes a carry holster, which fits up to a 3-‐ inch wide belt. It also includes a lanyard attachment loop. Vibrate alert — A vibrator motor produces short, repeating vibrations in sync with the audio alert. The vibrator motor can be turned off or used alone, without the audio alert. Dual battery operation — The Bullseye TRX operates with either two AA batteries or a single 9V battery using the included adapter. Note: Use only high-‐quality alkaline, NiMH, or lithium batteries. LED light — An LED provides illumination while probing and acts as a power-‐on indicator. Lost pinpointer alarm — If you leave your Bullseye TRX powered on, after five minutes of inactivity it sounds a long beep every 15 seconds to help you relocate it. A quick-‐press of the button resets the five-‐minute timer. The bright orange battery cap also helps in finding a lost Bullseye TRX. Ground balance – A quick-‐press of the button "grabs" the ground phase for accurate ground balance. Target ratcheting – A quick-‐press of the button ratchets in on strong target signals. Overload indicator – An excessively large target will create a series of long responses. Low battery alert — During power-‐ on, three cycles of a two-‐tone alarm indicate a low battery. During operation, each button press will create the same alarm if the battery is low. The LED also blinks continuously to indicate a low battery. Ruler — The Bullseye TRX has a ruler imprinted into the housing for determining target depth. Automatic power-‐off — After five minutes, the lost pinpointer alarm ceases and the Bullseye TRX powers down with a two-‐tone beep. Replaceable shell — Scraping around in the dirt will eventually wear through the plastic of any pinpointer. The Bullseye TRX is built to last with an easily replaceable shell that saves you money. 44 Operation Power On 1. Hold the unit away from the ground and any metal. 2. Quickly press and release the button. The Bullseye TRX will beep once followed by two short beeps indicating that it's ready to use. or the other to minimize battery drain. 1. Turn the unit on. 2. Press and hold the button for half a second, and listen for the two-‐tone power-‐down jingle. 3. Continue holding down the button. After two more seconds, the Bullseye TRX will enter Setup Mode, signified by two-‐tone "boo-‐beep." 4. Continue holding down the button. After another two seconds, the Bullseye TRX will begin to cycle through the beeper/vibration selections: Power Off 1. Press and hold the button for half a second. 2. When you hear a two-‐tone beep, release the button. The unit will power down. Ground/Target Reset During operation, a quick press of the button performs a "grab" function. In the absence of a target, this grabs the ground phase and resets the ground balance. In the presence of a target, it can be used to ratchet in on strong target signals. Beep or Vibration Selection The Bullseye TRX can indicate target proximity with either an audible beep or a vibration response. Both are "on" by default, but it is recommended that you choose one • Beeper and vibrator • Beeper only • Vibrator only Note: the selection always starts with the currently selected mode. 5. When you reach the desired selection, simply release the button and the Bullseye TRX will exit setup, indicated by two short beeps. Changes to this setting are automatically saved when the TRX is powered off. 55 Locating and Digging When you locate a target with your primary detector, before digging a hole, use the Bullseye TRX to scan the surface of the ground. Do this by pointing the unit straight down and moving it around the suspected area. Often the target will be less than 3" deep and can be detected with the Bullseye TRX, making recovery easier. If a surface scan doesn't detect the target, dig an appropriate plug or flap cut in the turf. Use the Bullseye TRX to scan both the plug (or flap) and down into the hole. In some The Bullseye TRX's area of detection is concentrated around the tip, making it easy to zero in on the target. When scanning a dirt pile, hold the Bullseye TRX at an angle between 90° (perpendicular) and 45°. cases, a coin on edge will be difficult to pinpoint and may be in the sidewall of the hole. Be sure to scan the walls of the hole. Be mindful of proper digging techniques when extracting the target. Use the smallest appropriate digging tool, especially in public areas. Learn to cut plugs that avoid turf damage or, better yet, how to "pop" coins using only a screwdriver. There are numerous videos on YouTube that demonstrate good target extraction protocol. Coins that are on edge are often in the wall of the hole. As the tip is lowered into the hole, the peak response is produced as the tip passes the coin. 66 Troubleshooting Unit won't turn on, turns on but turns off quickly, performs erratically. Unit sounds a false alert as it approaches the ground. Unit turns on and produces a three-‐tone beep before the two-‐ tone "ready" signal. Target appears to be large and difficult to pinpoint. Target is detected but then disappears as the probe is moved deeper into the hole Replace the battery. Check that battery is inserted correctly, with proper polarity (positive to positive, negative to negative). Place the tip to the ground but away from metal and quick-‐press the button to "grab" the ground reading. Unit is probably overloaded. Make sure it is held away from ground and metal during turn-‐on. Quick-‐press the button to ratchet down the sensitivity. This reduces the apparent size of strong targets. Target is probably in the sidewall of the hole.
