SETTING UP

Your Fisher ID Excel is built to last for years. Handle it carefully, care

for it regularly, and it will give you years of dependable service.

The ID Excel requires little assembly.

1. Unpack your ID Excel carefully and save the

carton: it may come in handy if you ever have to

return the instrument for service.

2. Slip the lower stem into the middle stem.

3. Adjust the stem length and coil angle so that the

search coil rests ﬂat on the ground about 6 to 12

inches in front of and slightly to the right of your right

foot (to the left of your left foot for left handers). Your

arm should be straight and relaxed, the grip held

loosely (see drawing on next page). The stem length

is adjusted by loosening the lower lock nut and

allowing the spring clip to snap into one of the

holes in the center stem. The coil angle is adjusted

by loosening the nylon wing nut on top of the

search coil.

NOTE: Remember, the longer the shaft, the more you’ll have to

bend your elbow to keep the coil off the ground and the sooner

your arm will get tired. The ID Excel is balanced for comfortable

searching in a tight semicircle around the front of the operator.

4. With the stem length properly adjusted,

wrap the search coil cable snugly around the

lower stem and the center section. Leave just

enough slack near the coil to allow it to be tilted

completely backward and forward.

NOTE: A loose cable near the search coil may cause false signals,

but don’t wrap it so tightly that it pulls against the housing or the

coil.

SETTING UP

5. Reconnect the coil cable to the control housing.

Be careful not to cross thread it and make sure it’s

snug, but hand tightened only.

6. With the shaft length and coil angle properly

adjusted, you should be able to move into your

search position by leaning forward very slightly and

raising the angle so the coil rests ﬂat on the ground

about 6 to 12 inches in front of your arm.

Adjust the stem length and coil angle so the coil rests ﬂat on

the ground about 6 to 12 inches in front of your foot. Move

into your “search” position by leaning slightly and raising the

coil about 2 inches off the ground. This should put the coil

about 12 to 18 inches in front of your lead foot.

CONTROL PANEL

The ID Excel control panel is an all new digital I/O System. The LCD

Display provides you with a constant control readout showing you

all of your current settings.

1. The POWER button turns the unit ON and OFF. One of the ﬁrst

things you will notice when you turn on your ID Excel is the battery

level display. Fresh batteries will show 9 volts; when the battery

level is down to 6 volts, you have about an hour of battery life

left. The detector will not turn on if the search coil is not properly

connected. This can prove to be a timesaving safeguard.

2. The MENU button enables you to enter the “menu mode,” in

which you can adjust the discrimination and sensitivity controls

with the UP/DOWN arrow buttons. Notice that when the MENU

button is pushed, the active control blinks — this is the control that

can be adjusted with the UP or DOWN arrow buttons. To move

to the next control, just press the MENU button again. When you

have all your settings completed, press the P/P (Pinpoint) button

to return to the search mode.

A. The DISCRIMINATION control can be varied from a setting of

-36 to +22 with the arrow buttons when the DISC icon is ﬂashing.

B. The SENSITIVITY control can be varied from a setting of 1 to

a maximum of 10 with the arrow buttons when the SENS icon is

ﬂashing. As with most detectors, set the sensitivity higher for best

depth performance in soils that are low in mineralization. As the

mineralization gets worse, lower the sensitivity setting as needed.

Please note that a SENS setting of 1 will still yield excellent results.

Remember, to exit the MENU mode at any time, simply press &

release the P/P button to return to the SEARCH mode

3. The P/P (Pinpoint) button is used to return to the search mode

after you set all your current settings when it is pushed and

released. As mentioned above, If the P/P (Pinpoint) button is

pushed and held while hunting, the Precision Visual Pinpoint Mode

will be activated.

4. The MODE button enables you to toggle between two operating

modes: a “true” all metal detecting mode or, with an advanced

discrimination system activated. To switch betweeen the two

modes while hunting, press the arrow down/mode button.

Fisher recommends that for a quick start setup and while you

are learning to hunt with your ID Excel that you use the factory

preset mode. Factory preset mode can be set by pressing the

MENU button until the FP icon ﬂ ashes on the LCD display. When

the FP appears, press and hold the P/P (Pinpoint) button until

you hear a brief tone. This activates the factory preset setting of

discrimination at +5 to reject ferrous targets and Sensitivity at 6 in

the disc mode.

FACTORY PRESET MODE

CONTROL PANEL

4 TONE AUDIO SYSTEM

The four-tone audio system provides you with more information

per sweep, acting as a target I.D. system in the “discrimination”

mode. While sweeping the ID Excel search coil over a target, you

will hear one of four tones:

LOW TONE = Iron objects (ferrous)

LOW/MID TONE = Foil, Nickel, Round Tabs

MID/HIGH TONE = Square Tabs, Zinc Pennies

HIGH TONE = Copper, Clad, Silver Coins

If a bell tone audio is heard, accompanied by an “OL” on the

LCD, the coil has encountered a larger or shallow target and the

search coil must be lifted to avoid overload and inaccurate I.D.

When hunting in the ALL Metal mode, a single tone will be heard

for any metal object the coil is swept over. This mode responds

much like the “auto tune”mode of previous detectors.

Pinpointing

When the P/P (Pinpoint) button is pushed and held, the non-motion

pinpoint mode is activated. This pinpoint mode may be familiar in

some ways (when the target is approached, the audio intensity

increases), but different in others (the digital numeric indicator). The

two digit (0-99) LCD will help you to accurately pinpoint your target

by increasing in value as the center of the target is approached.

This gives you much more resolution in pinpointing than a “depth

estimation” system, and allows you to characterize size, shape,

and location of your target better.

LCD IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM

The LCD will also show you an indication of the type of target you

have found, in conjunction with the audio tones, by showing you

a number preceded by a “-” or “+” sign. The target identiﬁcation

system works as follows:

When in either search mode (ALL METAL or DISC), a target

will produce a number between 0 and 36 indicating target

type.

In addition, the - or + sign in front of the number

indicates whether the target is ferrous in nature

(an iron target) “-” / or nonferrous (a non-iron target) “+”.

The target I.D. numbers correspond

to the following target types:

All negative (-) numbers: Iron

+0 to +8: Foil

+9 to +11: Nickel

+17 to +18: Square Tab/Brass

+20 to +22: Zinc Pennies

+28 to +30: Copper pennies, dimes

+30 to +34: Quarters

+34 to +36 Silver

Remember, this Numeric I.D. system is activated in either

the All-Metal or Disc. modes (although the 4-tone audio

I.D. is only active in the Disc. mode).

Also, the discriminator can silence the audio for certain

targets, but the two-digit I.D. will always reveal the target

identity.
