VFLEX technology
The X-Terra boasts yet another new and radical technology to improve single frequency detectors.
VFLEX technology uses state of the art digital and mixed-signal components to enhance standard single frequency technology by replacing most of the analogue circuitry with digital signal processing. The small amount of analogue circuitry still employed has been very carefully designed and calibrated to obtain the outstanding sensitivity, stability and repeatability required to match the performance of the processing in the digital domain.
This radical departure from traditional approaches to metal detector design has been made possible by advances in X-TERRA
VFLEX technology electronics that power personal digital assistants, cell phones and high fidelity portable audio equipment.
Choosing a Minelab is choosing a High Tech, High Precision metal detector that can be trusted to bring you results in the field where it matters. In just two decades, Minelab has technologically revolutionized the metal detecting industry. During this period, Minelab introduced ground breaking technologies such as “true automatic ground balance’s “Multi-Period Sensing” and “Multi-Frequency’ Minelab’s passion for solving every-day metal detecting challenges has earned it the reputation of making the best detectors that money can buy!
For the X-Terra user, this precision means dependable performance and improved immunity to environmental conditions such as ground mineralization, electromagnetic interference and temperature variations.
VFLEX technology requires coils that are accurately constructed and calibrated. Every time the detector starts up, the micro-controllers in the control box and the coil establish communication through a digital data link.
Information about the coil is sent to the control box, so the detector ‘knows’ what type of coil is attached and can set the correct operating parameters. This optimizes the performance and also makes the detector ‘future proof’ in that it will be capable of operating with different frequency coils (available soon).
Compatible with MF (7kHz) and HF (18.75kHz) waterproof coils - this means that the X-Terra 305 now has 6 accessory
Coil options.
Accurate Ground Balance capability with manual adjustment of 0-20, allows the user to adjust to ground mineralization easily.
Coin & Treasure Detect Mode
2 preset patterns, that can also be customised, plus All-Metal mode.
Choice of 1,2 or 3 tone ID's plus multi-tone Target ID (12) response. This allows greater flexibility in deciding how target signals are represented.
Threshold adjustment, with a range of -5 to 25 allowing the user to set threshold to levels where slight variations from either very small shallow, or very large deep, targets can be noticed.
Noise Cancel function with 3 manual settings allowing the user to pick the quietest channel for detecting.
Accurate Multi-Segment Discrimination Notching (12 segments).
Rapid recovery Pin-Point with variable tone and graphical indicator.
Target Volume adjust (0-10) allowing you to get more definitive audio information on each Target.
Depth indicator, updates continuously, even in Pinpoint mode.
