FAQ

HOW DOES VANQUISH PERFORMANCE COMPARE WITH EQUINOX?


VANQUISH depth performance is similar but not quite as deep as the EQUINOX. However, EQUINOX detectors are more configurable for varying conditions.

WHAT FREQUENCIES DOES VANQUISH USE?

Minelab does not publish the exact frequencies of Multi-IQ technology used in the VANQUISH Series. These frequencies are similar to the Multi-IQ mode in the EQUINOX Series.

DOES VANQUISH HAVE SINGLE SELECTABLE FREQUENCIES?

 

The VANQUISH Series detectors only use Multi-IQ (simultaneous multi-frequency) technology.

HOW DO TARGET IDS ON VANQUISH COMPARE TO EQUINOX?

Target IDs on VANQUISH are the same as the Target IDs on EQUINOX

WHAT RECOVERY SPEEDS ARE USED BY VANQUISH?

Recovery speed varies depending on the mode selected.   

Coin mode has the fastest recovery speed so that it can quickly isolate targets from trash.   

Relic mode has the slowest recovery speed and achieves the greatest depth. However, it has slightly reduced target separation ability.   

Jewelry mode has a medium recovery speed that balances target separation and depth. This makes it a great all-round setting to use.

WHAT RECOVERY SPEED DOES “CUSTOM” HAVE?

The Custom mode is programmable. If you program custom mode, it will adopt the recovery speed from the mode you program it to, e.g. coin mode = fast recovery speed, jewelry = medium recovery speed, relic = slow recovery speed.

WHY DO MY DISCRIMINATION PATTERNS GET DELETED WHEN I TURN OFF THE DETECTOR?

  

TWhen the detector is switched off, discrimination patterns in coin, jewelry & relic modes are all reset. Custom mode will keep its saved discrimination pattern

WHAT COILS ARE AVAILABLE FOR VANQUISH?

There are three coils available for VANQUISH.  These are:

V12 (12 x 9" Double-D)   

V10 (10 x 7" Double-D)   

V8 (8 x 5" Double-D).

HOW CAN I CHANGE THE BATTERIES?

The VANQUISH Series requires 4 X AA batteries and is compatible with both rechargeable and non-rechargeable batteries. The battery level indicator shows the current battery level.  Lift the battery cover off the control box to replace the batteries.

CAN VANQUISH OPERATE WITH RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES?

The VANQUISH 540 and VANQUISH 540 Pro-Pack come with 4 X AA NiMH rechargeable cells and a charger. The VANQUISH 340 and VANQUISH 440 can also operate with rechargeable batteries. Minelab recommends only NiMH rechargeable batteries or non-rechargeable AA alkaline batteries. Batteries rated between 1.2v – 1.5v are acceptable. If the battery has a voltage higher than 1.5v, it can damage the detector.

WHAT IS THE VANQUISH DETECTING TIME ON A FULL BATTERY CHARGE?

AA rechargeable NiMH batteries provide a run-time of approximately 11 hours using factory default settings.   

Non-rechargeable, high-quality AA alkaline batteries provide a run-time of approximately 10 hours.

ARE VANQUISH & EQUINOX COILS CROSS-COMPATIBLE?

No. VANQUISH coils cannot be used on EQUINOX, and EQUINOX coils cannot be used on VANQUISH

IS THE VANQUISH CONTROL BOX WATERPROOF?

The VANQUISH control box is not submersible. The coils are fully waterproof up to 3 ft.

WHAT TEMPERATURE WATER CAN I SUBMERGE IT IN?

The temperature specification for the VANQUISH Series is -10C – 40 C (14F – 104 F). The coil is waterproof to 1 m (3 ft), but the control pod cannot be submerged.

CAN THE VANQUISH SOUND OR TONES BE ALTERED OR CHANGED?

No. Pitch or tone breakpoints cannot be adjusted on the VANQUISH Series.

DOES VANQUISH HAVE A BACKLIGHT ON THE SCREEN?

The VANQUISH 540 has a red backlight for detecting in low light situations. The backlight is 'Off' by default at each start-up to reduce battery consumption.

IS THERE A GROUND BALANCE FEATURE?

The Multi-IQ technology used in VANQUISH allows the detector to provide stable and reliable target IDs in light of medium mineralised soils found in beaches or parks. As a result, there is no ground balance function available in the VANQUISH Series.

HOW WELL DOES VANQUISH MANAGE BEACH CONDITIONS?

Multi-IQ technology allows VANQUISH to operate on wet beach sand and salt water with much higher performance than a single frequency VLF detector.

CAN I USE OTHER BRANDED WIRELESS HEADPHONES?

VANQUISH 540 can operate with Bluetooth V4.2 or later and Bluetooth aptX Low Latency headphones. VANQUISH 340 & VANQUISH 440 do not have wireless capability.
