ORX
What is the difference between Coin Deep and Coin Fast
Exactly what it says, Coin Fast will be better used amongst iron as it has a faster reactivity and a different iron filter.
Coin deep can be better suited on cleaner land as the settings used can give a little bit more depth, Coin Deep has less filtering than Coin Fast and punches a little harder.
*Note : Coin Deep can be used on difficult iron contaminated ground if you are experienced with the ORX sounds.
Why does the ORX have 2 coin modes and 2 Gold modes
XP wanted the ORX to be suitable for a wider range of search areas, usually highly mineralised Gold bearing area’s will require a different machine, XP wanted to combine both options into the one product..
The ORX factory pre-set discrimination is 7, is it possible to lower this discrimination to get better performance if needed
Yes, you can run the discrimination as low as 5 and still reject most iron.
The Deus uses a discrimination level which goes down to – 6.4, the ORX only goes down to zero is this the same
If you turn the ORX discrimination down to 0 this will eliminate the iron tone and iron will now give a mid-tone.
Mid and High tones will still react the same way on high and low conductivity targets, the target ID will still work as normal giving numbers based on target conductivity.
What is the deepest mode on the ORX
The deepest mode will be the Gold mode as it uses less filtering, however please take care when hunting for deep targets in sensitive areas.
1. This may be against the law.
2. Areas of military activity, as some buried artillery/ bombs can still be dangerous.
Please use ALL metal detectors responsibly.
Is the XP Deus deeper than the ORX
Typically search coils and site conditions determine depth, the ORX is a high performance metal detector, however the Deus has more available internal adjustments allowing the user to fine tune their machine for different search scenarios.
Does the ORX have target ID norm on or off
The ORX has target ID norm ON all the time.
Is the ORX updatable
Yes the ORX is fully updatable just like the Deus (PC only).
Do I have to ground balance with the ORX all the time
No the factory default is more than adequate for most of your inland searching.
My ground balance reading displays dash dash (- – ) on the screen, why is it not showing numbers
This is for two reasons
1. You may not have a sufficient ground echo to generate a number indicating your ground is not mineralised
2. If you stop sweeping the coil the ground balance reading will resort to dash dash (- – ) and the factory default setting of 88 will be engaged.
My ORX has no mains charging plug just a USB cable what do I use to charge it
Any good USB quality phone charger or a wall mounted USB outlet will be more than adequate.
* Note – Some laptops may not give sufficient power to charge all 3 elements at the same time (Headphones – Coil – RC), only one or two at a time.
Can I use the MI-6 pin pointer wireless connectivity with the ORX
Yes the ORX is fully compatible with the MI-6 and it’s available options, such as the advanced MI-6 menu and the research mode.
Does the ORX have a volume control on the RC
No the ORX does not have a volume control on the RC, only the WS Audio headphones have a volume control.
Can the ORX be used under water
The coil can be submerged using the accessory aerial kit but the control box will require the waterproof case. The WS Audio headphones are shower proof.
Can I use the ORX on wet sand
Yes it can be used on wet sand although you will need to activate the “Salt” mode this is done by pressing and holding the hashtag button for a 2 seconds and you will see “Salt” appear on the screen, also you may need to drop the sensitivity down little to compensate for any false signals.
How do I save my custom settings into an empty user slot
Starting from your adjusted program go into options (Top left) scroll down to programs choose user 5 or 6, then just press options (Top Left) to validate and save your custom settings.
Can I name the 2 user programs
No they are just referred to as user 5 and user 6.
Does the ORX have a backlight
Yes the ORX has a timed backlight – Options – Configuration – Backlight.
Can I use the Gold programs for coin and Relic hunting
Yes providing you are aware that the Gold programs operate in a slightly different way to the Coin Fast and Coin Deep programs.
Will the GoTerrain app be compatible with the ORX
Yes the software is already installed, we will announce on our media when it will be available to use.
