1) On Off/Sensitivity control. 

Rotary control switches the detector on/off and adjusts the sensitivity. Ground containing 
mineralisation and some beach situations may cause instability or false signals requiring 
a reduction of the sensitivity level.

2) Ground Level control. 

Start off with this set to AUTO. Extra sensitivity can be achieved on consistent ground 
by adjusting this control manually in conjunction with the sensitivity control (see section 
‘Detecting with the CS6MX’).

3) Pinpoint

The ‘motion’ aspect of the CS6MX is switched off whilst the pin-point mode is selected 
(switch in up position). In pin-point mode the search-head can be held still to determine 
the precise target position. Pinpoint mode operates in ‘All Metal’, ie. whatever level 
of discrimination you have chosen will be switched off while the pin-point button is 
depressed. This is a useful facility which allows you to trace around the edges of a 
signal to identify large pieces of iron. 

(Note: very large pieces of iron, such as discarded 

agricultural machinery and iron stakes tend to give positive signals even when the 
detector is set to high discrimination settings). 

Once the pinpoint switch is released the 

detector returns to motion mode.

4) Iron Volume control.

Iron targets are identified by a low pitched tone. The volume level of this low pitched tone 
can be adjusted as required. To ignore iron this control should be set to zero.

5) Discrimination Level control.

This is used to set the discrimination point. When fully anti-clockwise, the detector will 
respond to any target from silver paper to gold with a high pitch tone. As the control is 
rotated clockwise, the lower conduction metals are identified by a mid pitch tone.

6) Disc Volume control.

 

Used in conjunction with (5), the Volume level of the mid pitch tone can be adjusted 
as required.

7) Control box mounting clip.

 

For ultimate lightweight metal detecting the CS6MX 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.

8) Loudspeaker

 (and battery condition indicator). 

The presence of metal is indicated by a short tone from the loudspeaker as the search-
head is passed over a target.
