DX-1
The DX-1 Target Probe has been
developed to satisfy the pinpointing and retrieval needs of DFX/MXT/Spectra V3i/Vx3
users. -
Accurate "Bullseye" pinpointing on coin
size targets up to 2"+ deep depending on detector used, settings, ground
and moisture conditions! This is about 4 x the distance of the standard Bullseye
Pinpointers -
Light weight, waterproof/submersible
6" X 1" diameter probe mounts on top of upper shaft (which has been
very popular among Explorer users). DX-1 probe and cable weigh approx. 6 oz. DX-1
switch box, connectors, cable and two probe clips, etc. weigh approx. 5 oz.
- approx. 10 oz total! (Optional box mount probe clip attachment available
for those wishing to mount probe along side of detector control housing). -
While the probes are waterproof the switch box is
water resistant and must not be submersed. ( uses the same connectors
as White's.) -
Incorporates all of the
same functions as the stock coil including accurate visual and audible target
ID along with identical pinpoint functions! -
High
quality custom made, durable probe and connector cable used with identical specifications
as White's cable for precision performance! -
Quality
high performance toggle switch used for peak performance! (Minimum 100,000 mechanical
life operation-as described in manufacturer's specs) -
Toggle
switch shuts off coil as it turns probe on and vise versa. Coil and probe are
never on at the same time. - Conveniently mounted on
detector pole attachment in a neutral position (for both right and left hand users)
and to prevent toggle from being accidentally switched or bumped by user or damaged
by tree limbs, brush, etc. if switch box is brushed or hit during detecting.
-
No external buzzers, vibrators or lights are needed
as all target responses are heard clearly through your detector headphones! -
No extra batteries required, utilizes the detectors
power source. FULL
12 MONTH WARRANTY!!

Ray Invader DX-1 Target Probe Field Testby
David Zabielski Was fortunate
enough to field test the new Sunray DX-1 probe (pinpointer) for the White's DFX/MXT
this week. Believe me, it was definately worth the wait. Starting from the beginning,
the probe is very easy to install. Not like the Minelab Explorer where the shaft
needs to be sent in. It just snaps on and screws in to the existing holes already
on the DFX and MXT. It is very well constructed with heavy PVC and a thick cable.
Looks to be built to last. The entire installation process takes less than five
minutes. No batteries are required, it runs off the detectors batteries. It remains
off until you switch it on, at which time the detectors coil is switched off. As
far as actual field test goes, I feel I must say that I was not a big fan of pinpointers,
until now that is. I did not like any of the pinpointers I had owned in the past.
The list of faults are as follows: falsing when making contact with the ground,
going off inside of carrying pouch, falling out of pouch and losing them, poor
sensitivity, sounding off on every piece of metal in the hole and leaving them
off to the side of the hole after making a recovery and forgetting to pick them
back up. I can't tell you how many times that has happened to me. I'd have to
spend anywhere from a minute to an hour backtracking my steps to find the thing.
Almost every guy I've ever hunted with has lost at least one probe in the woods. Now
back to the DX-1 probe. NONE of the above apply to this probe. It's sensitivity
is outstanding (3-4" on a coin), there is no falsing when you bump it or
hit the ground. No sensitivity switch to constantly adjust, no way to lose it.
It remains atop the shaft completely out of the way until needed. I could not
feel any added weight to the detector while swinging either. Now
for the biggest bonuses. Get this, the probe is actually a small coil. Imagine
taking your 5" or 9.5" coil off and just having a 1" coil. That's
what you now have right at your fingertips. If your program is discriminating
out iron, so will the probe. If you sweep in the hole and there's 3 nails, a quarter
and a dime in the hole, as you sweep over each one, the probe will ID it on your
VDI as such and through the tones if your Tone ID is on. Next big bonus is it
requires no batteries and when switched on your main coil is switched off. This
means that there is no longer interference between the probe and detector and
the detector, while idle is not constantly chattering.
Spectra V3 Compatibility is as follows:
WHITE'S
SPECTRA V3 AND SUN RAY INVADER DX-1 TARGET PROBE COMPATIBILITY
The Sun Ray
Invader DX-1 has been determined by us and the engineers at White's Electronics
in Sweet Home, OR to be compatible with the new Spectra V3 with the following
exceptions:
(1) The probes we have tested on the
V3 did not overload on RX 15 (gain) with TX Boost on. However, the probe may or
may not overload at those settings due to slight tolerances from probe to probe
just like slight tolerances from one coil to the next. (See (2) below.
(2)
However, the stock White's 10" DD coil may or may not overload with the DX-1 in-line
depending on the tolerances from coil to coil. This has nothing to do with the
probe or coil involved, rather with the switch (for switching from coil to probe
and visa versa)
(3) It was found that by either reducing
the RX gain a number or two ,or, disengaging TX Boost resolved the problem. (4)
In most hunting conditions RX gain cannot be used at maximum setting unless you
are detecting on neutral ground such as a beach with no mineralization, especially
with TX boost engaged. (5) Other V-3 compatible coils,
including non V-tuned coils (whether factory or after-market) may overload at
max RX and TX Boost and may require a lower RX setting (or TX Boost disengaged).
How low will depend on the coil and ground conditions, however, our tests showed
other coils we tested only had to be lowered on RX a few numbers to cancel the
overload if TX Boost was left engaged. (NOTE: Various
tests described above were conducted by both Sun Ray Detector Electronics and
White's Electronics in Sweet Home, OR. White's Electronics has approved the above
compatibility statement.) Accurate "bulls eye" pinpointing
on coin size targets up to 3"+ deep depending on detector used, settings, ground
and moisture conditions! |
