ADX 250 Metal Detector from XP

The ADX 250 Metal Detector from XP is more powerful than the ADX 150, and uses a lot of component parts from the ADVENTIS 2. This is the ideal metal detector for those who want simplicity with optimal performance, thanks to the preset GROUND EFFECT and SILENCER. The ADX250 is very light and has the option to change coils. As with all of the XP range, the ADX250 is simple to use and very light, making this the ideal starter machine for the serious detectorist. XP is the leading French metal detector manufacturer and a major metal detector brand recognised among serious metal detectorists. The ADX 250 is not just a re-badged version of an older ADX200 detector. It contains totally new circuit boards with many exciting new additions to allow more flexibility. The ADX 250 boasts faster re-set times allowing even better ability to pick up amongst iron targets. As with the other new machines in the range, the ADX 250 comes with the NEW 9” Carbon fibre coil & cover. The NEW frequency shifter allows the user to minimize interference from other machines. The upgrade to the hugely successful cordless headphone system is now incorporated into the circuit board of all XP machines, which means the NEW two channel headphones can be used with the ADX 250 with a choice of channels on the detector as well as the headphones. A free Coil cover is supplied with this detector.

The major strength of the XP ADX 250 Metal Detetctor is its ease of operation, combined with very good detecting power and above-average discrimination capabilities. The ADX 250 uses a microprocessor for faster discrimination signal analysis and has two control knobs and a 3-way toggle switch - the sensitivity knob (on the left) enables you to adjust how much power is put into the search coil and, consequently, affects the search depth. Generally, you set the sensitivity as high as you can without getting false signals. In most cases, you should be able to run the machine at full power with no problems. The right-hand knob sets the discrimination, enabling you to reject unwanted objects. The toggle switch has three positions: 1) AM stands for "all metal" searching, disabling the Discrimination setting and enabling you to find literally all metals 2) D1 enables you to adjust the discrimination (right-hand knob) from "all metal" up to rejecting "Large Iron". 3) D2 This setting will activate the second range rejecting Iron up to large foil.
