Vanquish 440 and 540

The VANQUISH 440 and 540 have four search modes that each have unique target specification and depth abilities. Choosing the right search mode will help you find more of what you are looking for. VANQUISH 440 works based on Multi-IQ Technology. It has water-proof coil which works in all terrains.

This Gold Detector creates an electromagnetic field which penetrates the ground. Metal objects cause a change to this field because they conduct electricity. The detector senses this change and sends a signal back to the control unit, alerting the operator.

VANQUISH 440 work by transmitting an electromagnetic field from the search coil into the ground. Any metal objects (targets) within this electromagnetic field will become energized, creating their own circular electric currents (eddy currents) and transmit an electromagnetic field of their own.

The Vanquish 440 and 540 have four search modes that each have unique target specification and depth abilities. Choosing the right search mode will help you find more of what you are looking for. Following are the four search modes

Coin
Jewellery
Relic
Custom

Coin
Coin mode is recommended for trashy locations because it has the best target seperation abilities of all the modes. The default discrimination pattern for this mode rejects all ferrous (iron) targets and small non-ferrous trash (such as foil).

Jewellery
Jewellery mode balances target seperation and depth , making it ready for moderate use between Relic Mode and Coind Mode. Unlike the other modes, Jewellery Mode tones are adjusted to ensure that fine gold jewellery is not classified as trash. The default discrimination mode rejects only ferrous targets.

Relic
Relic MOde has the best detection depth of all the modes , but slightly reduced target seperation ability . The default descrimination pattern for thi smode rejects all ferrous targets and non-ferrous trash (such as foil).

Custom
This is Custom mode where you can save you settings for search mode and discrimination pattern . You can adjust the discrimination pattern in this mode ithout losing you changes when the detector is powered off. The default discrimination pattern rejects all ferrous targets and also rejects a broad range of non-ferrous trash such as foil, pull-tabs, and bottle caps.

Backlight
The Vanquish 540 has a red backlight for detecting in low-light situations. The backlight is turned off by default at each start-up to reduce battery consumption. Press the backlight button to turn the backlight on or off. The backlight Indicator appears on the display when the backlight is on .
Volume
The Volume control changes the loudness of target signals.
Iron Volume (540 only)
The Vanquish 540 allows you to control the volume level of the Iron Tone.
Sensitivity
The Vanquish Series detectors are highly sensitive and have adjustable sensitivity.
Iron Bias
The Iron Bias feature is set to High by default, allowing the detector to correctly classify large or complex ferrous targets, which can easily be rejected.
PinPoint
Pinpointing helps to quicly narrow down the location of a burried target, allowing you to determine its exact location before digging.
Depth Guage
The depth guage indicates the approximate depth of a detected target .
Wireless Audio (540 only)
Any standard bluetooth headphones can be used with VAnquish 540, however , use of aptX Low latency headphones is recommended.

Target Identification

1. Target Identification Number: Target Identification (target ID) numbers range from -9 to 40 with ferrous (iron) targets ranging from -9 to 0.
2. Discrimination Segments: Discrimination Segmnets are located along top of the LCD. They display Target ISs grouped into ones.
3. Accept/Reject: When an accepted target id detected, there is a target response, and a Target ID Number is displayed. While the number is still displayed , press the Accpt/ Reject button to reject the detected target.
4. Discrimination Patterns: Discrimination Segments can be turned on or off to either detect or ignore targets . You can create you own discrimination patterns to detect or ignore specific targets types.
5. All-Metal: All-Metal function turns on all of the discrimination Segments, so that all metal targets will be detected, including iron.
6. Target-Tone: Groups of Target IDs are assigned Target Tones of different pitch so that the operator can broadly classify the Target ID without having to look at the display . Vanquish 440 has three Target Tones : Low, Mid and High. Vanquish 540 has five Target Tones: T1 to T5.

Batteries and Charging

The Vanquish series is compatible with both rechargeable and non-rechargeable AA batteries.

Battery Level:
• The battery level indicator shows the current battery level.
• If using non-rechargeable batteries, the battery level indicator will flash for twenty minutes before automatic- shutdown. Likewise, if using rechargeable batteries , the battery level indicator will display a single battery segment for approximately 20 minutes before automatic shutdown.

Rechargeable Batteries

The Vanquish 540 and Vanquish 540 Pro-Pack are supplied with four rechargeable AA NiMH batteries and a battery charger. These accessories are also available to purchase separately.
