Explorer XS Performance Test

Anonymous

Guest
After 1 1/2 years my Explorer's performance appears to be down. What are some basic tests and corresponding setting I can perform to determine it it time to send it to the shop or maybe I have been out in the sun too long.
 
Hey David,
I posted a note called "Air Test Results" a couple weeks ago. To find it, click on EDIT, and then click on "FIND ON THIS PAGE". Then tell it to find "AIR TEST". Your internet software should take you right to the post. I did air tests with a 7.5 inch minelab coil on a silver quarter and posted the results.

reducing the depth performance, etc? After being banged around, scratched, scraped and swung back and forth for a long while, is its performance diminished? I guess if you had a spare new coil, you could check this out.
 
David;
Have you tried to do a reset on the computer in the Explorer?
Not the reset to factory presets but the one by pulling the battery during the initial boot sequence.
Several of the guys have found that this restores the unit to origional performance.

Mike,
Thanks for your informative posts as usual - I was wondering seeing as though we have your Explorer, your quarter and your ground conditions and their test results and using that as a standard for the moment - coud you repeat the tests with the same quarter pressed into the surface at 90 degrees using same equipment, same ground, same quarter just to see what variation from your flat quarter data you get - granted I know this differs from actual field conditions, ground moisture, time in ground, actual angle, halo formation, etc., etc. but just curious to see what difference an angle makes in this one test set up.
 
Mike , Thanks for the info, I did the quarter test and my machine checked out OK.
 
Hey Bill,
I will repeat the air test with the same conditions while using the 7.5" Minelab coil. The quarter will be oriented at 90 degrees.

they will last for years.. if they go bad they usually just dont work, or get noticable intermittant problems like falsing..
