CS-5MX GB
7
Three points to remember :
1.
Large iron objects, particularly if near the surface, can produce a signal regardless of
discrimination settings.
2.
Although Disc 1 and 2 are set to ignore metals at the same position there may be slight
variations in your machine and between different machines.
3.
Practice, in air, with various metal objects so you understand the detector capabilities and
responses.
The more familiar you become with your CS-5MX Metal detector the more skilful combinations of
Disc 1 & 2 you will use. The following chart gives a few ideas of setting and the conditions under
which you would employ them.
DISC SETTING
REF
DISC 1
DISC 2
WHEN USED
A
0
0
All metal detecting
B
5
0
Dig all signals
C
5
7
To analyse possible ring pulls etc (see above)
D
5
10
If searching for modern currency (e.g. coins) in a highly screw
cap contaminated site (e.g. picnic area)
E
7
0
Use on beach or picnic site which is highly ring pull
contaminated
F
10
0
Use on same sites as above except where highly screw cap
contaminated.
NOTES :
i)
When using references E & F please be sure that the search site would not yield
silver hammered coins which may be ignored at these high discrimination
settings.
ii)
In reference A, you way need to reduce sensitivity in highly mineralised or
beach sites
iii)
These settings are guidelines only and you should practice with various known
objects to ensure that you are familiar with the settings correct for your
machine.
iv. Disc 2 Push Select Button
See Disc 2 control above.
v. Pinpoint Push Select Button
At stated on page 6 the CS-5MX is a motion machine which requires the head to be
constantly moving.
When you have located a target you must pinpoint it carefully to avoid unnecessary digging.
When held down, the pinpoint button enables the detector to give a varying response which
peaks directly above the target.
To pinpoint a target carry out the following procedure :
1.
Move the search head to a known clear patch.
2.
Hold the pinpoint button down and return the head to the target area ; move it slowly
and listen for the peak response.
The all metal pinpointing mode gives a positive response to all metal irrespective of the
Discriminate setting.
It is not necessary to sweep the target as the pinpoint mode will respond even when held
stationary over the object although the target will fade gradually if the head is held over it for
too long.
