Vanquish 540 update.
- Thread starter Tony-Ok
- Start date
It adds iron volume to the detector. I think all 540s would have to be updated to have iron volume. I was wondering if anyone out in the field have got to use the new updated 540?? To get there thoughts .
The update provides iron volume control for the 540 only and better battery performance too . It now has a low battery alert as well.You now have the option to settle how much volume (loudness) you want on iron coming in with a 10 segment choice of low to high. This can help make the non-ferrous targets stand out a little better.
After powering up the unit, you can try holding the all metal button down and the letters FE should show on the screen. If it shows while holding in the all metal button you keep holding button down while simultaneously pressing the volume button either up or down. If it works, your up to date.

I been using the Vanquish 540 for a while now. It was to be my back up when the Equinox is in the shop which for me is once a week out of a month!!! I don't even use the Equinox any more!!! I been using lithium batteries getting good battery life and more power. I can't tell the difference in depth between my Equinox vs the Vanquish 540. The new update is a good improvement on the iron!!! Another thing is I can hunt areas now with the Vanquish that I could not with the Equinox because of the wifi boosters they put on the hotel for the beach guests. Now matter what I did the Equinox wouldn't shut up!!! With the Vanquish different story quiet as a mouse!!!
Sorry to hear about your experience with your Nox!......So far so good for me though with no issues.......Yes, the performance of the Vanquish has impressed me quite a bit. Great little metal detector especially for the money.
It is a Nox junior for sure. I wished this would have came out before the X-terra series. I’ll take the 540 any day over the 705. It’s a better performer with the aid of multi frequency and cheaper!
What did the Vanquish update do for batteries? Will they last longer now or just low batt alert?
I might do the iron audio volume adjust tomorrow and give it a try. Honestly I don't have an issue with the loudness or volume of the low tone audio. I do enjoy the comfort and performance of the V - 540 and feel it has a lot to offer many consumers for the price.
It's a fun detector to learn even though it doesn't seem like there's a lot to learn. Just appreciating the pros and cons of both the high iron bias and low iron bias settings is good.
