FE Bias
The FE Bias function of the metal detector is part of the advanced settings for discrimination and identification of metal targets, especially in terms of distinguishing between ferrous and non-ferrous materials. This feature is particularly useful in harsh environments where mineralization is high or the presence of ferrous debris is very common.
The principle of the FE Bias function:
FE Bias, or Ferrous Bias, allows users to adjust how the detector reacts to ferrous objects. This setting helps improve the accuracy of identifying and discriminating ferrous targets by adjusting the threshold at which the detector considers an object to be ferrous.
How FE Bias works:
- FE Bias Level Adjustment: The user can increase or decrease the FE Bias level, which affects how strictly the detector discriminates between ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Increasing the FE Bias level causes the detector to be more inclined to classify uncertain signals as non-ferrous, which can be useful in areas with a lot of ferrous contamination.
- Effect on discrimination: Proper FE Bias adjustment can greatly improve a detector's ability to ignore ferrous waste without losing sensitivity to precious metals such as gold or silver, which can sometimes exhibit signals similar to ferrous.
Benefits of using FE Bias:
- Better discrimination in highly mineralized soils: FE Bias is particularly useful in areas where the soil is heavily mineralized, which can lead to false detections. By adjusting FE Bias, the searcher can minimize false signals caused by iron minerals.
- Increase search efficiency: By properly setting FE Bias, users can reduce the time spent diggingm unwanted iron targets and focus on more likely valuable finds.
Thus, FE Bias serves as an important tool for improving metal detecting performance and efficiency, enabling more accurate discrimination and helping to optimize the user's overall search experience.
