User manual C-SCOPE CS4ZX

[. . . ] OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 1 CS4ZX - RAPID GET YOU GOING INSTRUCTIONS Look for the highlighted pre-set positions 1. 7. Assemble and adjust for length (Twist surplus lead around stem). Set MODE SELECT (trigger switch) to MOTION (away from your body). Set DISC (top left) to ALL METAL (fully anticlockwise). [. . . ] NOTCH should only be used where specific items such as ring pulls are causing a nuisance as the response to some valuable items is affected. To set the detector to ignore ring pulls first make sure the ACCEPT/REJECT switch is set to REJECT and DISC is in ALL METAL (off). Sweep the ring pull across the head whilst 14 adjusting the REJECT NOTCH control slowly. The NOTCH cannot work on the deepest targets so to eliminate the response from ring pulls totally then the SENSITIVITY must also be reduced slightly. NOTCH ACCEPT works in the same way except a small band of targets are detected and all others are ignored. Please note the following: i) ii) iii) iv) Always set the NOTCH with the DISC control in ALL METAL. The position at which objects are notched out is not exactly the same as the position at which they are ignored on DISC. Which ever is set highest of DISC and NOTCH has authority, thus NOTCH ACCEPT will not work if the DISC setting is higher. If necessary accurate pinpointing can be achieved by changing to the NON MOTION mode. Diagram 11 Effect of Notch Control Position £1 COIN RING PULL The NOTCH is now set and the DISC control can now be used to achieve the desired combination. It is the skilful combination of these two controls which gives the CS4ZX its versatile ability in most conditions and the following chart gives graphic explanation as to their effective use.

This chart, therefore is intended as a guide only and precise setting for maximum performance will be achieved by constant practice. How to use diagrams 10, 11 and 12: If you wished to avoid detecting ring pulls and small ferrous objects (e. g. nails) then you would set the NOTCH at 4 and the DISC control at 2.

This can give the impression that the detector is not functioning correctly. It is simply remedied by switching to the highlighted REJECT position. OPERATING IN NON MOTION MODE Setting The Ground Control On Inland Sites Prior to searching, the detector must first be set to ignore the signal due to the ground mineralisation. To do this find an area of ground thought to be free of metal objects and check using MOTION mode. Select NON MOTION on the trigger switch (O in diagram 7) and set the GROUND control to position 3 (highlighted). Select GROUND on the METER switch located directly beneath the centre of the meter. Select INLAND on the GROUND switch located next to the GROUND CONTROL. Turn the SENSITIVITY control to maximum (or audio threshold) if using headphones. Position the search head two to three inches above the ground and RETUNE by pulling trigger switch towards your body. [. . . ] If it is not to be used for a certain length of time it is advisable to remove the batteries to avoid leakage which could cause serious damage. The working life of your detector will be shortened by careless use or neglect of the unit. Think of your detector as a scientific instrument. Your detector is designed to withstand rugged handling on any terrain, but misuse or lack of due attention will tell in the end. [. . . ]
