As well as all Prizm, the fifth not the exception, is very easy devices on weight, weigh only 1. 2 kg with batteries. Provide the maximum depth and the maximum covering, the detector is completed with search coil Prizm 950 (9.5-inch) with an aperture in the centre. With such coil Whites completes only 5th model. In the complete set there were also ear-phones Whites, the cartridge training to video (in English).
The detector fits well in a hand, ergonomic, all design is typical for Whites, black colour.
All adjustments and detector adjustment are simple enough and have the user, any zamudrennyh options, all is simple.
That attractively that the detector has 8 various types of the sound tonalities, everyone to the prototype on the discriminator.
For those who prefer smaller quantity of sound tonalities, Prizm V can be adjusted on 3х the voice-frequency sound discriminator (low/medium/high) that is I.D with 3 types of a signal on the response. Also can be adjusted that all purposes would sound equally. Interesting such course of developers!!! New for Prizm V is VCO exact sound instructions of the purpose, it gives higher sound signal how much more close you come nearer to the purpose. This VCO in pinpojnte can be disconnected, if to whom that not so is pleasant such technics of search and to work with a standard sound signal in pinpojnte, Whites however. Other plus for Prizm V is an addition bolshej on diameter and it is natural more powerful search coil Prizm 950. The 9.5-inch coil is much better than those which were completed to 4 models the Prism.
Prizm 5 has big LCD the display with the accessible information, intuitive and simple, will lose the way in it not probably. I very much like simplicity of dialogue with the detector and I not the supporter of such monsters as XLT or DFX from the same Whites. It was pleasant to me as also system Notch, in the people named masks the discriminators, one pressing and all dust is cut, all. In general the discriminators, constructed Whites th, how much I heard, very good. As there is also mode All Metall and Pinpoint. Pinpoint works accurately if to press and keep on the button pinpojnta, the detector will pass in mode Pinpoint and if to press it and to release that the detector will pass in mode All Metall.
Prizm V has following buttons of management on the panel:
OnOff – includes or will switch off the detector. Disc – management of the detector discriminator, step-by-step 5 segment. Iron, the Foil, Nickel, Stoppers, Stoppers/coins.
Smart Notch - This function automatically establishes the discriminator in position on nonferrous metal.
Multi Tone - Eight unique sound signals from low, for ferrous metal to high for coins.
P/P Pinpoint – Pinpojnt Works if to press and keep the button pressed, or passes in mode All Metal if to press and release this button. Also works together with function Multi Tone to include VCO or a standard signal for pinpojnta.
Sens – management of sensitivity of the detector.
The detector from 2х 9 volt batteries, approximately about 20 hours not preryvnogo search works.
Big and simple L.C.D. The display. Target arrows of identification are very effective and do the visual identification of the purpose, simple though in the nature there is a lot of metal and the alloys similar on conductivity, therefore Prizm not an exception in erroneous tseleukazanijah.
That is on the display:
Low Bat – the Indicator specifies, when batteries or accumulators sit down.
Depth – Specifies depth of the purpose if its detector has found out, a range from 0 to 8 inches.
Sens - Specify in sensitivity level.
Arrows of visual identification - Moves across the display and specifies in a target icon to specify that you have found.
Tone ID – specifies that the mode of the sound discriminator is activated.
Very much it was pleasant to me that Prizm 5 has 8 sound tonalities, not always you look at the display by search and if on a sound it is possible to distinguish approximately object type, it already something.
Sound characteristics Prizm V:
Iron - 261.6 Hz the Foil - 587.3 Hz Nickel - 659.3 Hz the Uvula from beer banks - 698.5 Hz the Zinc coin (USA) - 784.0 Hz Copper the Penny - 880.0 Hz Chetvertak - 987.8 Hz Dollar - 1046.5 Hz. All it concerns coins of the USA so it is declared in documents, our, modern coins, sound hardly differently, but sense almost the same.
Field test
In general all models Prizm are very simple in use, but I can tell with confidence that each of them has the distinctive features, Prizm has all functions of search for this purpose what to start to work with the detector as with something personal. Naturally it has such function as, has included and search. That else me involves that in Prizm it that it is possible to do all changes in adjustment on the move, without stopping, the discriminator can be used in a mode of a mask or so, search.
When I left in wood with the detector I have established a discriminator tonality on 8 but after the detector began to ring as a trill I have disconnected it and nevertheless have decided to try 3х the voice-frequency discriminator, was threw dust much and I nevertheless wished to check up its work, but is final about 8 voice-frequency it to me it was not possible, as that was closer 3х voice-frequency diskrim.
Search was more or less productive, I have found pair a three of coins of the USSR – which epoch, pair of sleeves from a carbine well and so, on a trifle. Sensitivity was on a mark hardly more middle. It is possible to carry certainly to a minus that that the coil of 9.5 inches a little velikovata, well it only in the event that you are going to conduct search constantly in strongly littered places, it big enough (in comparison with 8 inch which were at former prizmov) and grasps a decent site of search.
Later I have departed from this site where was shaft of any dust (metal), and have decided to try 8 voice-frequency diskrim, have increased a few sensitivity (almost maksimal), like began to work on more accurate. Finds it was not final strongly valuable, but false signals it was reduced. Certainly, Prizm 5 very much not badly distinguishes metals, I will repeat, very much it is not bad. Whites as always in the unique repertoire, diskrimy at them serious. After two hours of search I at last have made friends with the detector, anything over difficult in it has not appeared, all is very simple, works accurately, the illumination truth on LCD does not suffice. In a week we with colleagues left again on kop, I naturally took the Prizm5, went on a beach, coins have found much, Swedish, German, have found to gin bank (not opened), wished to drink, but have not dared, keys have much got well and naturally stoppers.
The conclusion
Prizm V – it is very simple in use, at the same time gives very many functions! In my opinion, the detector can be carried to the category of "almost professional detectors. Certainly, illumination to it on the display, more serious menu and VDI, the prices to it would not be, and so 10 balls on 10 ball scale. Will approach a wide range of searchers.
