To Assemble:

I. Remove all parts from shipping

carton and check the assembly

page to make sure parts are

present.

II. There are rubber washers

between clevis/lower rod and loop

ears. Use only nonmetallic wash-

ers, fiber bolt, and thumbnut to

secure loop to clevis/lower rod.

III. Unlock rod camlocks and insert

clevis/lower rod into center rod, center

rod into curved "S" rod so that stainless

steel spring clip buttons line up and lock

into one of the adjustment holes. Turn

camlock to secure.

IV. Unravel loop cable and wind the cable

around the clevis and rod assembly, first

revolution over the top of the rod. Wind cable

all the way to the top of the curved "S" rod,

about five revolutions. Plug loop connector

into control box and screw finger tight to secure.

V. Grip the instrument by the handle, with your

arm in the elbow cup, and sweep the loop over

the floor. If the instrument fit feels uncomfortable,

adjust the elbow cup by removing and reposition-

ing the bolt/thumbnut and installing in one of the

optional positions. If necessary, readjust clevis/

lower rod position.

VI. Adjust the elbow cup strap so that it is loose

enough for you to slide your arm in and out without

loosening each time you want to set the detector down.

VII. Remove protective paper from the black elbow cup foam pads, carefully align each in the elbow cup and press

firmly into place.

VIII. Install battery as described in the next section, decal facing down, with plastic tab and steel contacts facing toward

inside of battery compartment.

IX. It should be noted at this point that the detector may not work as expected indoors due to the high degree of metals

used in modern construction. It is best to tune and practice out-of-doors to ensure stable, predictable results.

Classic® 5ID

Batteries

I. Standard Batteries:

A. The standard battery holder holds eight “AA”

cell batteries. Alkalines are recommended for use

with this model. During normal searching condi-

tions you can expect about 70 hours of hunting

time from one set of eight Alkalines.

B. Non-alkalines can be used in

this holder. When non-alkalines

or rechargeable “AA” cells are

used detecting time (before

replacement/recharge)

will be reduced to about

50 hours.

C. Once the batteries become

weak, the beep over metal targets will

be reduced in volume. Shortly thereafter,

the instrument will no longer respond to metals.

D. The battery compartment opens by gently pulling

down on the front of each of the two latches on the

bottom of the control box.

II. Using The Standard Battery Holder:

A. Slide open the battery holder lid (decal side of

battery holder) by applying gentle upward pressure

on the tab of the door so that it unlocks. Slide the

door away from the battery box exposing the cell

positions.

B. Remove any old

cells from the holder.

Note the (+) and (-)

positions of each cell

and the (+) and (-) for

each position marked

inside the cell tray.

Install new “AA”

cells noting carefully

the correct (+) and

(-) positions.

1. If the cells are

installed incorrectly,

the detector may

require service by an

Authorized Service Center.

C. Slide the door closed so that it snaps securely.

D. Insert the battery holder into the detector so that

the decal is facing down, with the battery holder door

tab and metal contact points facing toward the inside

of the battery compartment.

1. Close the battery compartment door and secure

the two latches on the bottom of the case. Hook the

front of each latch first, then press down on the rear.

III. Rechargeable Batteries:

A. White’s manufactures an optional rechargeable

battery system for this model. Quick charge and

overnight charge options

are provided, as well as the

latest in state of the art non-

memory characteristics.

1. White’s nicad battery

#802-5211, and charger

#509-0022 are recom-

mended for use with the

Classic® models.

I. Once fully assembled, and the batteries installed, set

the ON/OFF SENS knob to the “P” (Preset) position

set the DISC knob to the RING RANGE “P” (Preset)

position, set the ALL METAL toggle (located on the

handle/rod) to the center DISC position.

II. The SENS (Sensitivity) knob turns the instrument

ON/OFF and adjusts the responsiveness of the detec-

tor to metal targets as well as interference from exter-

nal electrical sources and ground peculiarities.

A. In most conditions the “P” (Preset) position is ideal.

l. If interference becomes apparent (false signals or

instability) reduce the SENS control (counterclockwise)

until smooth, stable operation is restored.

2. If smooth, stable operation is noted at “P” (Preset),

increasing the SENS control (clockwise) may increase

detection depth so long as the ground is not extremely

mineralized.

3. The SENS control will also dictate the sensitivity

of the ID display. If set too high for the conditions the

display may either become unreliable, or tend to fill in

with all the display blocks. If this occurs once in a

while ignore it as the display will clear itself automati-

cally upon the detection of any real metal target.

However, if the display fills in regularly, we advice

reducing the sensitivity control by turning it slightly

counterclockwise.

4. When not in use, turn the SENS (Sensitivity) knob

fully counterclockwise until it clicks indicating the

instrument is turned OFF. Remove battery from unit,

and remove batteries from holder/tray prior to pro-

longed periods of storage.

Operating Instructions

III. The DISC (Discrimination) knob adjusts the level

of audio rejection against trash metals.

A. The Ring Range “P” (Preset) is recommended for

most general purpose searching. In this position, the

detector will reject most iron and light foil and respond

to most valuables including jewelry.

1. Positions lower (counterclockwise) than Ring

Range provide even less trash metal rejection, to the

point of detecting virtually all types of common metals

except small iron and small stainless steel.

B. The Coin Range “P” (Preset) is optional. In this

position, the detector will reject more trash metals

including aluminum pull tabs. The display will

continue to indicate ID even though the audio dis-

criminator will signal with a reject sound. Nickels and

some jewelry will also be rejected at this DISC setting.

1. Positions higher (clockwise) than the Coin Range

will provide even greater degrees of trash metal

rejection.

Center Position

VI. Now place a large nail, and/or a steel bottle cap

(not aluminum) on the ground. Sweep the loop over

these metals. Note the inconsistency in the beep, and

that it is a shorter click or has a flutter to the sound. An

operator will soon learn to ignore the clicks or flutter

sounds trash produces and listen for the smooth

consistent beep that coins and other valuable metals

produce.

A. The exact point on the DISC control a trash metal is

rejected will change slightly with the ground condi-

tions. However, the following DISC control range is

typical. (See first graphic on this page.)

C. The most useful range on this control is between

the Ring Range “P” and Coin Range “P” positions. If

when searching at the Ring Range position you feel

you are digging too much trash, adjust slightly

toward the Coin Range and try again. Finding the

lowest (furthest counterclockwise) position that

eliminates the common trash metals in your area is

important in order to find items of jewelry.

D. When a trash metal is being rejected, it will

produce a shorter sounding beep that is typically

inconsistent, a click or flutter-sounding beep. When a

valuable metal is accepted it will produce a consis-

tent, smooth, solid, and longer sounding beep.

E. Some large trash metals, such as pieces of lead, pot

metal, aluminum or tin will produce a good sound

regardless of the DISC control position

IV. Once either Ring Range “P” or Coin Range “P”

has been selected, sweep the round loop very near to

the ground passing it from side to side. The loop

must be swept (in motion) for metals to respond and

provide accurate discrimination. Each pass of the

loop from left to right (or from right to left) should

overlap the last by at least 50% and take about two

seconds. If the loop is swept very very slowly or is

stopped, the detector may not respond to metal.

V. At this point, it is a good idea to find an area out-

of-doors relatively free of metal to practice. Place a

coin on the ground. Pass the loop over the coin. Note

that some loop movement is necessary to receive a

good clean sound. Note that if you sweep the loop too

slow the coin doesn’t respond well.

Classic® 5ID

VII. Once a smooth consistent beep has been located,

sweep the loop directly over the center of the target

several times and read the possible ID on the display.

Like the audio discriminator, the display will tend to

fluctuate on trash, and read more consistent on

valuable metals. This is why we recommend relying

on the audio beep as the primary indication, and then

check the display ID.

A. The display will produce and hold indications as

the loop passes over ground, trash,

and other metals. Items discriminated

by the DISC control position will still

produce display indications (see first

graphic on page 6).

B. The more consistent the display

indication and the fewer the blocks,

the more likely the indication is

correct. Trash metals tend to indicate

inconsistently.

C. Caution: two different types of

metals lying near each other in the

ground may produce multiple display

indications that may appear to mimic

trash. In which case the following

pinpointing method first should be

used. Return to the I.D. display once

the targets have been individually

pinpointed and you can pass the loop

directly over the center of each target

separately.

D. See Explanation Of Display for more regarding

display indications.

VIII. Pinpoint exactly where to dig by squeezing and

holding the ALL METAL toggle in the temporary

position and “X-ing” the loop slowly over the area

“eyeballing” the center. The detector will “beep” as

the physical center as the loop passes the center of the

target.

A. Note that some loop movement is required. It is a

good idea to place coins on the ground and practice

pinpointing. It takes some time to develop pinpointing

skills. Release the ALL METAL toggle and it will

automatically return to the DISC position before

continuing to search.

IX. If the desire is to detect iron/steel such as tools,

relics or property stakes, place the ALL METAL toggle

in the forward LOCK position and leave it there during

searching. With the ALL METAL toggle in the forward

LOCK position, all types of common metals respond.

A. The display will continue to indicate I.D.

regardless of the toggle position.

Classic® 5ID

Block indications on the display indicate the possible

identification or type of metal item currently being

detected.

It is normal for the display to show and hold a random

block indication during use as well as indicate targets

rejected by the DISC setting. This will not reset with

the ALL METAL toggle.

Consult the display indication only when it is accom-

panied by a smooth repeatable audio sound dictated

by the DISC setting.

Each of the eight blocks function independently,

therefore, it is possible to receive multiple block

indications with several targets near each other or

when the metal is of a complex alloy.

During heavy interference, if the Sensitivity control is

set too high for the conditions, all the blocks may fill in

momentarily. There is no cause for concern as the

display will automatically reset itself upon the detec-

tion of a metal item. If such display filling becomes

excessive reduce the sensitivity control by turning it

slightly counter clockwise.

I. First block indication from the left :

“NAILS, BOTTLE CAPS, IRON”

This block indicates the metal is likely iron or steel

such as nails, steel bottle caps, or iron relics. Dig only

if iron/steel is of interest.

Explanation of Display

II. The second block indication from the left:

“FOIL, RING, GOLD”

The most common metal found with this block indica-

tion is small “FOIL” gum and candy wrappers. How-

ever, some very small gold jewelry can also be indi-

cated by this block. If the DISC control is set low

enough to produce a good solid sound you may want

to dig this indication in areas where rings are sus-

pected.

III. The third block indication from the left:

“NICKEL, RING, SMALL PULL TAB,

MEDIUM GOLD”

The most common metal found with this block indica-

tion is nickels. However, large aluminum, candy

wrappers or very small or partial pull tabs may also be

indicated by this block. Small gold coins, medium

jewelry, and small ancient coins, may also be indicated

with this block . We recommend a DISC control setting

low enough to produce a good solid sound at this

display indication.

Classic® 5ID

VI. The sixth block indication from the left:

“SILVER, 10¢, 1¢”

The most common metals found with this block indica-

tion is medium to large copper and silver coins. Other

items of copper/silver can also be indicated by this

block. We recommend digging this indication.

IV. The fourth block indication from the left:

“PULL TAB, RING, GOLD”.

The most common metal found with this block indica-

tion is the standard size “PULL TAB”. However,

medium to larger gold jewelry can also be indicated by

this block. Again in areas where rings are suspected

you may want to dig this indication, at least until you

have determined the presence of many pull tabs. The

DISC control at high settings can reject metals with the

audio sound that produce this display indication.

V. The fifth block indication from the left:

“ZINC 1¢, LARGE RING, SCREW CAP,

LARGE GOLD”.

The most common metals found with this block

indication may either be medium copper or zinc coins

or the large aluminum screw off bottle cap depending

on the area. However, larger gold jewelry can also be

indicated by this block. In areas where rings are

suspected, you may want to dig these indications, at

least until you have determined the presence of many

screw caps.

VII. The seventh block indication from the left:

“SILVER, 25¢”.

The most common metals found with this block indica-

tion is silver coins. However, other items of silver can

also be indicated by this block. We recommend digging

this indication.

Classic® 5ID

Discrimination Control

The DISC (discrimination) control selects the amount of

rejection against trash metals. At the fully counter-

clockwise position it has the minimum amount of

discrimination against trash metals. Most common

metals are detected at this setting except for small iron

and small stainless steel. As the DISC knob is turned

clockwise, more and more trash rejection is achieved.

The Sensitivity knob turns the instrument ON and

OFF and adjusts the responsiveness of the instrument.

As the SENS knob is turned further and further

clockwise, detection

depth as well as sensi-

tivity to physically

small metal items

increases. Unfortu-

nately, external electri-

cal interference and

ground interference

also increases. The best

setting is the furthest

clockwise position that

provides smooth, stable

and predictable results.

An operator of the Classic 5 ID may want to adjust

the SENS knob for several reasons:

I. Minimum sensitivity is needed for detecting near

power lines, electric fences, microwave antennas, etc.

II. For good results in most conditions the “P”

(Preset) position works well.

III. If the “P” (Preset) position works well (smooth,

stable and predictable results) increasing the SENS

knob clockwise will increase detection depth so long

as the ground is not extremely mineralized.

IV. If the display tends to black out with all the

display blocks filling in, the sensitivity may need to

be reduced for good display performance in that area.

ON/OFF Sensitivity/Gain

VIII. The eighth block indication from the left:

“SILVER, 50¢, 1 DOLLAR’

The most common metals found with this block

indication is large silver coins. However, other large

items of silver can also be indicated by this block. We

recommend digging this indication.

IX. As previously stated, multiple blocks could have

one of two meanings. There could be more than one

metal or it may be one metal of a complex alloy

(mixture of different metal types). Squeeze the ALL

METAL toggle and see if you can pinpoint and isolate

the metals and then re-sweep the center of each

separately for a better I.D.
