New
Functions
GB OFF for neutral soils.
In addition to Normal and Specific ground balance options,
a third option is now available. In GB Off the ground balance
circuit is by-passed to give extra deep detection. This is
a useful feature in very benign low mineralised, or salt saturated
soils. This setting will also work well for treasure or relic
hunters in loam or sandy soils.
BACKLIGHT, so you can read the LCD menu in any light, day
or night.
The backlight has adjustable time-out to preserve battery
life.
STABILIZER for the smoothers threshold.
The stabilizer function is a fine tuner that gives the operator
full control over the threshold stability. It is tied in with
the audio processing circuit, so should be used in conjunction
with the four Audio Type options. In quiet conditions, increase
the Stabilizer control and faint target signals will be more
obvious. Turing it down will provide you with a smoother threshold,
improving your ability to pick up the faintest of signals.
TARGET
VOLUME
In addition to the Volume Limit control, which prevents signals
from being too loud, the new Target Volume allows you to increase
the strength of softer target signals. This is useful for
very windy conditions, for people suffering from hearing loss,
and to adjust the audio volume when using external speakers.
The Target Volume can also be used as an audio boost in mild
soils, and can be used to reduce or smooth out ground noise
signals in highly mineralised soils. This is a powerful feature,
and will work in conjunction with the Stabilizer control,
giving you the ultimate in fine tuning ability.
IMPROVED
DISCRIMINATION that gives you access to the worst
of trashy ground.
When detecting in a high-trash area like a mining site or
a campground, the Iron Reject function allows the operator
to set the desired level of discrimination, from cautious
to aggressive. This combined with the specially programmed
Hi Trash search mode makes areas of extreme junk well worth
a search. Also great for the specialist Relic and Jewellery
hunter who demands the best, and wants to recover the smallest
and deepest targets invisible to most treasure detectors.
BUILT-IN
AMPLIFIER so you can hear soft target signals from
deeper nuggets, more easily.The newly designed Li-lon battery
pack now has an audio amplifier built in, allowing you to
use an external speaker, without the need for any external
booster. Its uses smart circuitry, which automatically senses
a correctly wired speaker, and applies an increase in Audio
Gain. The design of the amplifier and the use of high-quality
low noise components ensure the signal response is clear and
crisp, without the added background hum of some boosters.
SETA Technology
gives precision timings
The GPX-4500 now offers a total of six Timing options to suit
different detecting conditions. Previous GP series detectors
operated using one universal alignment suitable to all their
timings. With so many different timing options packed into
the GPX-4500, it was no longer possible to rely on a single
alignment, and so the Smart Electronic Timing Alignment or
SETA concept was born.
SETA automatically
sets a precise alignment for each Timing option. What this
means is that in each timing, noises caused by magnetic interference
will be minimised, the threshold will remain more stable,
and signals from highly magnetic rocks will be significantly
reduced. This allows you to harness all the power of the GPX-4500,
and operate it more efficiently under different conditions.
A bonus of SETA
technology is that the ground balance setting of each timing
is also saved, so if you are switching between timings when
investigating a suspected target signal, you wont have to
continually re-ground balance the detector.
New Lithium-Ion
Battery
For a mere 768g, Minelab's newest lightweight Lithium-Ion
Batteries hold their charge at almost full power for hours
more than conventional batteries and will operate the GPX-4500
for up to 12 hours. The intelligent charging system is self-contained
in the robust yet lightweight aluminium housing, offering
very rapid recharge times of 4 to 5 hours, from either the
12v vehicle or Mains adaptor. Best of all, the available power
of the battery can be tested at any time through the LCD display
on the detector.
Improved
Battery Harness
Included with the GPX-4500 is a new and improved battery harness,
now with thicker straps and a reinforced padded belt, for
improved support and a more comfortable fit.
Modified
Endcaps
The GPX-4500 with Modified Endcaps, now allows for full control
box adjustability, to improve balance when using smaller or
larger coils.
Heavy Duty
Power Cable
Designed to handle the rigours of the goldfields, the GPX-4500
is supplied with a longer power cable, a thicker outer sheath
and over-moulded plugs.
