The XP ORX remote control is a replacement LCD display module for the ORX metal detector, featuring a back-lit screen, built-in speaker, and 6 pre-programmed search modes for mineralized terrain and gold prospecting. ORX owners who've damaged or lost their original remote get the same factory module that ships with new detectors: 4 fixed programs (Gold, Fine Gold, Coin Fast, Coin Deep) plus 2 user-programmable slots. The remote runs 19 hours on a full charge and recharges via USB in 3 hours.
What's Included with the XP ORX Remote Control
- XP ORX back-lit LCD display remote control with speaker
Why ORX Owners Reach for the Replacement Remote
- Restores full detector functionality after damage or loss, the ORX requires the remote for program selection and ground balance adjustment.
- 19-hour battery life supports multi-day prospecting trips without daily recharging, and the 3-hour USB charge cycle fits overnight turnaround.
- Six detecting programs cover mineralized ground, iron-laden sites, and fine gold without building custom settings from scratch.
- 3.5mm audio jack accepts wired headphones when wireless isn't practical or battery conservation matters.
- Made in France and backed by XP's 5-year warranty and LONGTIME durability certification.
Program Flexibility for Mineralized Ground and Gold Targets
Factory Programs for Variable Ground Conditions
The four factory programs address distinct hunting scenarios: Gold mode for slightly mineralized ground with medium to large gold targets, Fine Gold for highly mineralized terrain with small to medium targets, Coin Fast for iron-laden sites requiring fast recovery, and Coin Deep for cleaner ground where maximum depth matters. ORX owners working variable terrain switch between programs without returning to a vehicle or reprogramming from scratch. The two user slots store custom configurations for recurring site conditions.
Pocket or Stem Mounting for Field Adaptability
The remote mounts on the detector stem for immediate access to settings or rides in a pocket when you prefer a lighter swing weight. Detectorists working trashy parks with frequent program changes keep it stem-mounted; prospectors covering open ground with stable settings often pocket it to reduce arm fatigue. The back-lit display remains readable in direct sunlight and low-light conditions, and the built-in speaker provides audio feedback when headphones aren't worn.
