  • Page 6: Battery Information

    Kruzer has an internal 3700mAh Lithium Polymer battery. Battery life is approximately 14-19 hours for the Kruzer and 9-19 hours for the multi Kruzer. Battery life will be less in 5kHz compared to other frequencies on the multi Kruzer. Other factors such as usage of speaker or wired/wireless headphones will also affect battery life for each model.

  • Page 7: Headphone Information

    Do not charge the battery in temperatures over 35° C (95° F) or below 0° C ( 32° F). The Kruzer battery can only be replaced by Makro Detectors or its authorized service centers. INFOR MATI ON A B OU T HEA D P HON ES The Kruzer comes with 2.4 GHz wireless headphones.

    BEACH mode. You can also change the frequency of the device on the multi Kruzer model. You can find more details on search modes and frequencies further in this manual.

  • Page 11: Ground Balance

    GROUN D BAL A NC E Ground balance can be performed in three ways with the Kruzer: Automatic, Manual and Tracking. When the GB button is pushed while performing automatic or manual ground balance, the device will switch to the General Search (GEN) mode automatically on the background without any indication to the user, regardless of the selected search mode.
  • Page 12 Kruzer is designed to allow for automatic ground balancing conveniently on any type of ground. Therefore, it is recommended to perform automatic ground balance upon start up.
  • Page 13 GROUN D BAL A NC E The device will return to the main screen automatically after a short period of time upon completion of ground balance. To return to the main screen instantly, just press the PP button once. IMPORTANT! Experienced detectorists adjust the ground balance setting to a slightly posi- tive response (weak but audible sound is produced when moving the search coil closer to ground).

  • Page 14: Target Id

    However, if you encounter an excavated, backfilled or geologically composite soil structure, a ground balance should be performed again to adapt to the varying soil structure. In addition, re-ground balancing is recommended for the multi Kruzer model if you change the operating frequency of the device (5kHz/14kHz/19kHz) in certain ground conditions.
  • Page 15 IDs, repeat the same process and letters ''no'' will appear on the screen. The table showing the probable IDs for the Kruzer and the multi Kruzer models is placed at the back of this manual. You can easily detach the page and carry it with you during your searches.

  • Page 16: Search Modes (Mode)

    SEARCH MOD E S Kruzer has 6 search modes designed for different terrains and targets. You can navigate between the modes easily by using the direction buttons. The selected mode name will be framed on screen. General Search (GEN) Different than the other modes, this mode features a threshold tone which is continuously heard in the background.
  • Page 17 SEARCH MOD E S BEACH MODE (BEACH) This is a special mode of the Kruzer developed for conductive grounds (salty wet sand beach, grounds with alkali soil etc.). The feature of this mode presents the ability to ignore iron and similar targets in this group and to be able to perform ground balance on any type of ground.

    If the device starts to receive noise during searching, reduce the gain gradually. NOTE: Kruzer is a high gain device and some of the search modes will run relatively noisy (DEEP and 4 TONE) compared to other modes so as to provide the best depth performance.
  • Page 19 SE T TINGS the coil is in free air than sweeping the coil on the ground. Please keep this factor in mind while adjusting the gain. Discrimination (DISC.) Disc. is the ability of the device to ignore all metals below a certain Target ID. In the DISC. process, the filtered ID range is shown with lines on the ID scale and every 2 consecutive IDs are represented with 1 line.
  • Page 20 NOTCH adjustment applies to the selected search mode only. The change does not affect the other modes. IMPORTANT! In the multi Kruzer, if you are using the Standard ID scale and you change the operating frequency of the device, you may need to re-adjust the NOTCH values according to the IDs you will get in the new frequency.
  • Page 21 Tone Break adjustment applies to the selected search mode only. The change does not affect the other modes. IMPORTANT! If you are using the Standard ID scale in the multi Kruzer and you change the operating frequency of the device, you may need to re-adjust the Tone Break points according to the IDs you will get in the new frequency.
  • Page 22 SE T TIN GS Threshold level is directly related to the Gain and iSAT settings. Please be sure to read the related sections of the manual carefully. iSAT (Intelligent Self-Adjusting Threshold) iSAT in General Search Mode (GEN) For the General Search Mode (GEN) to perform accurately, a stable threshold sound is neces- sary.

    O PTIONS Volume This control allows you to increase or decrease the device's volume based on your preference and environmental conditions. Volume level can be adjusted from 0 to 10. When you turn off and on the device, it will start with the last volume level you chose. This setting is common to all modes;...
  • Page 24 NOTE: Tracking is recommended to be used in the GEN mode only. Frequency (FREQ.) This setting has different functions in the Kruzer and the multi Kruzer. In the Kruzer, it is used to shift the frequency and in the multi Kruzer it is used to change the operating frequency of the device.
  • Page 25 OP TIONS Shifting the Frequency in the multi Kruzer: Just like in the Kruzer, it is used to eliminate the electromagnetic interference that the device receives from another detector which operates in the same frequency range nearby or from the surroundings.

  • Page 26: Extra Underground Depth (E.u.d.)

    Pinpoint is to find the center or the exact location of a detected target. Kruzer is a motion detector. In other words, you are required to move the search coil over the target or the target over the search coil in order for the device to detect the target. The pinpoint mode is a non-motion mode.

  • Page 27: Target Depth

    Depth Indicator: It shows the target's proximity to the surface in 5 levels during detection. Because each mode of the Kruzer has different depth, the depth indicator will display a different depth level for the same target in different modes.

  • Page 28: Magnetic Mineralization Indicator

    Challenging ground conditions arise especially when conductivity and magnetic properties of the ground are too intense. Operation of the device over such ground is made possible by selecting the best operating mode and frequency (multi Kruzer) as well as using proper ground balance, gain, iSAT and threshold settings.

  • Page 29: Tracking And Effects Of Rocks

    METALS UNDER ROCKS Kruzer increases the possibility of detecting metal targets under mineralized rocks through the proper adjustment of your settings. The combined effect created by the rock and metal together is lower than the effect that the metal creates by itself and the displayed ID will be different than the metal's expected ID.

  • Page 30: Detection On The Beach And Underwater

    As explained before, salt water and alkali grounds are significantly conductive and cause effects similar to iron in detectors. Kruzer's BEACH mode is specially designed for such conditions. You can perform your search easily using the BEACH mode without requiring any special settings.

    System Version Information: To see the software version of the Kruzer's system card and LCD, while the device is OFF, press the plus (+) and minus (-) buttons simultaneously and turn the unit on. Continue to hold the buttons depressed until you can read the software version. The major version will be shown in the Target ID section and the minor version in the GB window.
