CONTROLS AND WHAT THEY DO
The CS-5MXP has been designed to offer simplicity of use with high, reliable performance.
The control panel comprises three rotary controls, three push buttons, one toggle switch and a meter.
i. On/Off Sensitivity
Switches detector on by rotating clockwise and adjusts sensitivity to metal.
The CS-5MXP is a silent operating machine and you should rotate the Sensitivity Control
clockwise to the position where the audio threshold tone is comfortable.
Operate the Sensitivity at the highest level possible but, if you experience interference
from external radio transmissions or soil mineralisation, reduce the level to eliminate
this.
ii. Disc 1
In the clicked off position, the CS-5MXP detects all metal objects.
Turned clockwise it becomes a fully variable discrimination control.
Discrimination is a means of ignoring objects which are generally regarded as junk whilst
still detecting the good objects.
At the lowest setting most iron objects are ignored. Increase the setting and the unit will
ignore even larger pieces of aluminium paper as well as iron.
At higher levels still, ring pulls will be ignored. You must, however, realise that at this
higher setting you will also lose some low denomination and silver hammered coins, so set
the control only as high as necessary to ignore iron and foil contamination (e.g. level 5 is
typical).
