3. Configuración e montaxe
Follow these steps to assemble your YELLOW JACKET ASM-55 Metal Detector:
- Conecte a bobina de busca: Connect the 11-inch search coil to the lower stem using the provided bolt and nut. Ensure it is securely fastened but allows for slight angle adjustment.
- Connect the Stems: Insert the lower stem into the middle stem, and then connect the middle stem to the upper stem (which has the control unit and armrest). Adjust the length to your preference by twisting and locking the adjustable sections. The length can be adjusted from 20 to 48 inches.
- Montar a unidade de control: The control unit is pre-attached to the upper stem. Ensure it is oriented correctly for easy viewing e acceso aos controis.
- Connect the Coil Cable: Carefully wrap the search coil cable around the stem, leaving enough slack for coil movement. Plug the cable connector into the port on the control unit. Ensure the connection is firm.
- Instalar baterías: Open the battery compartment on the control unit. Insert two 9V batteries, observing the correct polarity. Close the compartment securely.
- Adjust Armrest and Strap: Position the armrest for comfort and secure your forearm with the strap to reduce fatigue during use.

4. Instrucións de funcionamento
4.1 Encendido/apagado
Preme o POTENCIA button (usually marked with a power symbol) to turn the detector on or off. The device retains its last settings due to the built-in memory function.
Pantalla LCD 4.2view
Figura 4.1: detallada view da pantalla LCD e dos botóns de control.
The LCD display provides visual information about detected targets, current settings, and battery status. Key indicators include:
- Target ID Cursor: Indicates the probable type of metal detected.
- Digital ID / P-P Cursor: Provides a numerical value for target identification.
- Coin Depth Cursor: Estimates the depth of the detected object.
- Sens Cursor: Mostra o nivel de sensibilidade actual.
- Mode Cursor: Displays the active detection mode.
4.3 Modos de detección
The ASM-55 offers five distinct detection modes. Press the MODO botón para percorrelos:
- All Metal Mode (A-M): Detects all types of metal. This mode is ideal for general searching when you do not want to discriminate against any metal type.
- Modo de discriminación (DISC): Allows you to eliminate unwanted metal types (e.g., iron) from detection. Use the '+' and '-' buttons to adjust the discrimination level.
- Modo de memoria: This mode allows the detector to remember a specific target type and only search for that type of metal.
- Modo de xoiería: Optimized for finding jewelry, typically filtering out iron and other common trash metals.
- Pinpointer Mode (PP): Used to precisely locate the exact position of a detected target. Press and hold the PP botón para activar.

4.4 Axuste da sensibilidade
Preme o SENS button to adjust the detector's sensitivity. Higher sensitivity increases detection depth but may also increase false signals in mineralized ground or areas with electromagnetic interference. Adjust sensitivity using the '+' and '-' buttons.
4.5 Control de volume
The detector features three volume levels. Use the speaker button to cycle through the volume settings to suit your environment and preference. Headphones are included for private listening.
4.6 Target Indication and Depth
Figure 4.3: The 11-inch waterproof search coil and adjustable stem.
When a target is detected, the LCD will display a Target ID Cursor and a Digital ID value, indicating the probable type of metal. The Coin Depth Cursor will provide an estimated depth. The 11-inch search coil allows for detection up to 12 inches deep for a quarter-sized coin.

5. Mantemento
- Limpeza: Despois de cada uso, limpe o detector con adamp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents. The search coil can be rinsed with fresh water due to its waterproof design.
- Almacenamento: Store the detector in a cool, dry place when not in use. If storing for an extended period, remove the batteries to prevent leakage.
- Substitución da batería: Replace batteries when the low battery indicator appears on the LCD. Always use fresh 9V batteries.
- Coidado do cable: Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the search coil cable to prevent internal damage.
6 Solución de problemas
| Problema | Causa posible | Solución |
|---|---|---|
| Sen poder | Dead batteries; Incorrect battery installation | Substitúa as pilas; asegúrese de que a polaridade sexa correcta |
| Constant false signals | High sensitivity; Electromagnetic interference; Mineralized ground | Reduce sensitivity; Move away from power lines/electronics; Use DISC mode |
| Sen detección | Search coil not connected; Incorrect mode; Low sensitivity | Check coil cable connection; Switch to ALL METAL mode; Increase sensitivity |
| Inaccurate target ID | Target too deep; Multiple targets; Interference | Sweep slower; Use Pinpointer mode for precise location; Adjust sensitivity |
