User manual C-SCOPE CS330

[. . . ] signals from small pieces of iron rubbish are ignored . pressing the pin-point button means you can stop swinging the search-head from side to side and identify the exact position of the target The controls and what they do 1) Control box mounting clip. For ultimate lightweight metal detecting the CS330 control box can be removed and fitted to a belt around the body. This leaves only the search-head on the stem which reduces fatigue on the arm. [. . . ] The discrimination level can be increased (4-10, red area on the scale) so that the signals from more categories of metal object are ignored. ' (see `Notes on Sensitivity, Ground Effect and Discrimination'). Assembling the CS330 The stem height adjuster should be slackened to allow the lower stem to enter the upper stem section. The search-head lead may then be wound around the stem as shown in the photograph. A search-head lead which is not well secured to the stem could move about causing false signals. Cable ties or tape may be used to hold the lead in position. There are slots in the lower stem plastic section into which the lead can be fitted. When the search-head lead is fitted correctly, the stem adjusting device can be tightened at a height suitable for the user. Adjust the position of the search-head so that it is parallel to the ground when the user is in a normal standing position. Tighten the wing-nut on the search-head retaining screw. Friction of the head lugs against the neoprene washers keeps the search-head in position. Excessive pressure on these parts should not be necessary. (If some form of lubricant should ever find its way onto these washers it will be necessary to disassemble the parts, wash and dry them before careful reassembly). 4 CS330_Compact. indd 4 23/01/2009 10:29 Belt mounting Squeeze the control box retaining clips together using your thumbs as shown in the photograph. We recommend searching with a low level of discrimination (green area on the scale 1-4). At this setting the CS330 will not react to small pieces of iron but will give a positive audio tone on other metal targets. Increasing the discrimination level will eliminate signals from a wider range of metal objects which are likely to be rubbish. (See Notes on Sensitivity, Ground Effect and Discrimination). When the detector gives a signal, move the search-head to the approximate area where the signal was heard, press the pin-point button (using your thumb is best) and move the search-head carefully around. The strongest signal will occur directly below the centre of the search-head. Dig a neat hole by cutting around the signal position with a sharp edged trowel and remove a divot of earth which might now contain the metal object. Run the detector over the area again in pin-point mode to see if the metal object is still in the hole or in the piece of earth which you have just removed. Dig some more and sift through the earth until you find what you are looking for. The use of headphones will increase battery life and make it easier to discern faint signals. Do not touch anything you suspect might be live ammunition - inform the police. [. . . ] For these reasons it is best to keep the discrimination setting as low as possible. CS330 Effect of discriminate control position Detector care The CS330 is a robust design, however the control box should be treated with similar care as any electronic product. The search-head may be immersed in water. Stem and search-head parts should be cleaned and dried at the end of a day's detecting. If the detector has been used on a beach it will be necessary to wash sand and salt residue off the stem adjustment mechanism and the search-head retaining parts using tap water. [. . . ]
