Yay, today my TW-5 arrived.
Very happy with it and hope to do some nice finds with it.
There's no manual so i also got a few questions.
What does D.T.I. do?
It takes 8 AA 1.5V batteries, can i use a 12V 600mah batterypack instead?
I attached a few pictures.

I just got off the phone with Fisher Labs. They don't have the manual for this unit because they were not the actual manufacturer. They did what is called re-branding which is putting their name on the unit which was manufactured by another company. Their newer model the TW6 has a manual and might be useful to you.

As near as I can tell, the DTI (I think this is Direct Transmitter Induction) setting is for using the induced signal. In that, for most pipe locators, you physically attach the unit to a pipe and then trace the induced signal with the removed receiver. You can call Fisher and speak with Felix about help with your unit.

It's all about that moment when metal that hasn't seen the light of day for generations frees itself from the soil and presents itself to me.

Thanks guys Smiley
So i don't really need DTI then Wink
But could come in handy in the backyard Smiley

Saw the videos, those were of help, thanks!
Especially the nulling part.

I read the TW6 manual and it does have functions in common.
Haven't found much about the TW5 here on the forums.
Is the performance of the unit not that good?
It was recommended instead of a White's and C-Scope unit.
Well, the TW6 was but the 5 shouldn't do bad.

Had a go with it today and it found a very old shovel that my Tesoro didn't notice.
It's a bit getting used to but once you get the hang of it, it's a great thing to have Smiley

I have a copy of your manual in PDF format. It's too big to attach here as a file and too specific to add to the downloads area. I have sent it to your Hotmail address as an attachment. Check there.
