6 batteries the cs4zx is powered by eight aa batteries (not supplied) available from garages, department stores, etc. Or a single 12v rechargeable pack from c- scope. It is advisable to use standard batteries to start with. You can then evaluate the sort of use you give the detector and decide wheth...

7 diagram 3 checking the batteries getting to know your cs4zx the cs4zx has two modes of operation, motion and non motion. In motion mode the detector head must be moving for the detector to register a find. Motion has the advantage of automatic ground cancellation and simplicity of operation. Non m...

8 push the switch forward to operate in motion mode, leave in the central position to operate non motion and pull back and release to retune in non motion and to recentralise the meter. You will see the control panel on the front of the detector has been grouped into boxes. The disc and notch contro...

9 non motion mode (see diagram 6): 1. Select non motion mode on the trigger switch (central position 3 in diagram 6). 2. Now pass a coin over the head and notice how the detector gives a signal all the time the coin is within a certain distance. 3. Your cs4zx is built with the latest technology but ...

10 the following explains the controls of your cs4zx. When you are familiar turn to page 12-15 for full operating details. A. Controls common to both operating modes i. Sensitivity (l in diagram 7). This is a rotary control which enables the user to set the sensitivity of the detector to targets. Th...

11 when the trigger is pulled back towards the user, the non motion mode will be 'retuned'. Note that this position on the switch is 'spring loaded', i.E. To maintain retune, the trigger lever must be held in this position. Iii. Frequency shift switch (i in diagram 7). This three position switch fou...

12 this control allows the user to optimise the detector for use on each site. This is achieved by reducing the effect of natural mineralisation sometimes found in the ground, but it must be individually set for each ground type. In high performance detectors, like your cs4zx, mastering this control...

Battery in this position, the meter indicates the state of charge of the batteries. When the needle is in the green area, the batteries are ...
Page 14: Changing Modes
14 changing modes switching from one mode to another is done by operating the trigger switch (o in diagram 7). Away from the body to select motion and central to select non motion. Operating in motion mode push the trigger switch forward to select motion mode and turn the sensitivity to the highligh...

15 adjusting the reject notch control slowly. Repeat this until no sound is emitted. 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...

16 diagram 12 continued 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. The effect would be: ring pulls - no sound nails - no sound 5p/milk bottle top - high volume £1 co...

Operating in non motion mode setting the ground control on inland sites prior to searching, the detector must first be set to ignore...

Page 19: Accessories (Optional)
19 accessories (optional) available from c-scope headphones: headphones not only extend battery life but improve sensitivity by cutting extraneous noise. The headphones should be fitted with a standard stereo 1/4 inch (6.35mm) jack plug. The headphone socket is located under the protective cap in th...

20 tactics will be decided by the type of site - it is more profitable to scan a small area thoroughly than to conduct a haphazard search of the total site. However, when the site is too far away for you to make several return visits, a plan should be adopted which gives maximum coverage, at the sam...

21 diagram 13 search head position it is essential that the search head is kept close and parallel to the ground as in b. Do not hold the search head too high above the ground, or at an odd angle as in a, c, d as you will be apt to miss finds. Sweeping technique for extremely small object searching,...

If, however, the owner makes a claim for the object at a later date, the finder must return the item to the owner. If the owner is not located the finder has the best rights to ownership, pr...
