XP ORX Back-lit LCD Display Remote Control

The XP ORX remote control is designed exclusively for the ORX metal detector and is not compatible with the Deus, Deus II, or other XP detector models. Each XP detector family uses a unique wireless protocol and control interface specific to that platform. If you own a Deus or Deus II, XP manufactures separate remote controls engineered for those systems, which you can find in our metal detector parts & accessories collection. The ORX remote features four factory programs plus two user-programmable slots, a configuration tailored to the ORX's operating system and search capabilities.

The Gold program is optimized for slightly mineralized ground and offers high sensitivity to medium and large gold targets, making it suitable for less challenging soil conditions. The Fine Gold program is calibrated for very mineralized ground and prioritizes sensitivity to small and medium gold targets, allowing prospectors to detect smaller nuggets in heavily mineralized environments. Prospectors working variable terrain often start with Gold mode and switch to Fine Gold when ground noise increases or when targeting smaller nuggets in hot ground conditions. Both programs are factory-preset and ready to use immediately upon powering on the ORX remote control.

The XP ORX remote control supports software updates via its USB connection, allowing you to install firmware improvements XP releases over the detector's lifespan. You'll need a USB cable and a Windows or Mac computer along with the XP update software available on XP's website. XP regularly updates the system of their detectors to continuously improve performance, ensuring your ORX remote benefits from ongoing engineering refinements. The USB connection serves dual purposes: charging the remote control's battery (which provides approximately 19 hours of runtime) and facilitating firmware updates to keep your detector current with the latest software releases from the manufacturer.

This listing is for the replacement XP ORX remote control itself. The remote features a USB connection for charging the battery and updating software. The ORX remote control battery provides approximately 19 hours of runtime and requires 3 hours of charging time to reach full capacity. The USB port allows you to charge from any standard USB power source, including computer USB ports, wall adapters, or portable battery packs. If you need USB accessories for your XP detector, we stock cables and charging solutions compatible with the ORX system in our parts and accessories collection.

The two user-programmable slots allow you to save custom configurations tailored to specific sites or hunting styles beyond the four factory programs (Gold, Fine Gold, Coin Fast, and Coin Deep). These empty program slots offer additional possibilities for detectorists who want to create specialized settings for particular hunting conditions or target types. Detectorists who hunt the same park or gold patch repeatedly can develop site-specific programs to eliminate setup time on return visits. Understanding the technologies behind modern detectors helps you optimize custom settings. The ORX remote's back-lit LCD display makes it easy to navigate between factory and user programs in any lighting condition.

XP manufactures a separate waterproof kit as an optional accessory that seals the remote for submersion up to 5 meters, allowing you to hunt shallow water or detect in challenging wet conditions. The waterproof kit is listed on the manufacturer page as an available accessory for ORX owners who hunt beaches, rivers, or environments where water protection is essential. The standard ORX remote control features a back-lit LCD display and speaker with a 3.5mm audio jack for wired headphones. For detectorists who primarily hunt dry land, the standard remote provides full functionality, while those pursuing water hunting should consider adding the waterproof kit to their setup.

The XP ORX replacement remote carries XP's 5-year manufacturer warranty and is LONGTIME certified, meaning it's engineered for extended field use with durable components. XP provides a 5-year warranty on all their metal detectors and components, reflecting the company's commitment to quality and longevity. The LONGTIME certification indicates the remote is designed to last through years of field use. This replacement remote is the same unit that comes standard with the XP ORX metal detector and is manufactured in France to XP's quality standards. Purchasing from Serious Detecting ensures you receive an authentic XP product with full manufacturer support.
