INTRODUCTION To protect your investment complete both sections of the enclosed guarantee card and return the reply paid portion to C-Scope. This is particularly important in order to obtain the free parts guarantee. (UK and Eire Only) Please retain the original packing box. In the event that your detector should ever require to be serviced, this package will be most suitable for postal protection. C-Scope detectors are recognised as the finest detectors available.
2. Insert the small foam squares inside the two springs on the lid, and also the two springs in the holder, this will prevent the loss of spring tension.
CONTROLS Mode Switch PWR OFF The first position on the MODE switch is the Power Off setting. Be sure the switch is returned to this position after using the detector. Failure to do so will result in the batteries being discharged. METAL In this mode the ground balance is in operation and all metal objects such as gold, silver, coin caches, iron chests, or even a septic tank lid can be detected. The metal mode will allow the greatest ground penetration and is the first choice for maximum capability.
Threshold This control adjusts the audio tone volume of the background noise, commonly called ‘threshold’. To adjust this to optimum, the sound should be barely audible. When using headphones, the control will be set lower than when using the speaker. It may be necessary when using the speaker where the environment is noisy to use a higher setting. Generally, the lower the setting, the deeper the detection. Signal Balance This control adjusts the Signal Balance or detection depth of the detector.
Ground balance This control is only effective when the METAL mode is selected. It is adjusted to cancel out the mineralisation in the ground and allow for maximum penetration. For higher mineralisation the control is rotated towards the (+) sign and subsequently towards the (-) sign for reduced mineralisation. The method to use for adjusting this control is covered under the section on OPERATION. Again, this control is only effective in the METAL mode.
Thumb Set The THUMB SET control is located at the tip of the handle. When using the CS9000 MK2 without the AUTO feature, the control may be pressed to the momentary position quickly with the loop over a target reducing the intensity of the signal making it easier to pinpoint. Further discussion of the use of the THUMB SET control is found in the OPERATION section.
ii. Remove all metal objects from your person such as belt buckles, car keys, watches, knives, etc. iii. Hold the detector at arms length by your side in a comfortable carrying position, resulting in a distance of approximately 18 inches from the ground. Keeping the instrument level, press the THUMB SET control in the handle to the MOMENTARY position and release. The threshold tone is heard and the meter will indicate approximately ‘20’. Slowly raise the instrument approximately 6 inches.
Pinpointing In the AUTOMATIC THRESHOLD OFF position, a surface target can appear to be very large, which is normal. Now the target must be ‘narrowed down’ to determine its’ location more accurately. Start to pass over the target from one direction, when the meter goes ‘off scale’ press the THUMB SET control to its’ MOMENTARY position briefly to bring the meter back on scale. Continue to cross the target in the same direction and repeat the pressing of the switch.
THE IMPORTANCE OF THE RIGHT APPROACH Treasure hunting can be a profitable and rewarding hobby, if approached in a patient and diligent manner. Time spent researching to locate a worthwhile site for a search can be time wasted if your search is hasty and erratic. To achieve maximum results it is important then, to decide on your approach to any particular site in advance of the actual search.
range. Similarly, if you work slowly and carefully you should be able to distinguish the faint signals as well as the clear-cut signals and further increase your finds. The technique of getting the best out of your detector is not learnt overnight. You need to get as much experience as possible so that you can recognise every kind of signal. Indeed, a good detector operator can often tell you what is being detected before it is unearthed.
CODE OF CONDUCT FOR METAL DETECTOR USERS 1. Do not trespass. Ask permission before venturing on to any private land. 2. Respect the Country Code. Do not leave gates open when crossing fields, and do not damage crops or frighten animals. 3. Do not leave a mess. Use a sharpened trowel or knife to cut a neat circle or triangle (do not remove the plug of earth entirely from the ground); extract the object; replace the soil and grass carefully and even you will have difficulty in finding the spot again. 4.
CARE OF YOUR DETECTOR Storage When not in use your detector should be stored in a dry warm environment. If it is not to be used for a certain length of time it is advisable to remove the batteries to avoid leakage which could cause serious damage. The working life of your detector will be shortened by careless use or neglect of the unit. Think of your detector as a scientific instrument.
The Detector Drifts Out Of Tune (a) (b) Temperature drift caused by change in air temperature when a machine is moved from a house or car into the open. The greater the change in temperature the more the drift, and in severe conditions up to 30 minutes may be needed for the electronic circuitry to acclimatise itself. Sometimes battery drain can cause drift of signal. Replace batteries and this should help to maintain a stable signal.
