CS-5MX - RAPID GET YOU GOING INSTRUCTIONS 1. Assemble and adjust for length (Twist surplus lead around stem) 2. Insert batteries 3. Set DISC 1 (top right) to ALL METAL (fully anticlockwise). 4. Set DISC 2 (bottom far right) to 5. 5. Set SENSITIVITY (top left) to 3 o’clock position. 6. Push BATT CHECK down and hold to indicate battery condition. Good batteries will be in the green area on the meter. Release. 7. Set BOOST to NORMAL. You are now in ALL METAL MOTION MODE.

INTRODUCTION The CS-5MX combines ’turn on and go’ technology with real depth to provide you with both simplicity in use yet sophistication in performance. IMPORTANT These family of detectors are recognised as the finest detectors available. They are designed with lasting quality in mind, high technology, and above all, value for money. The only way to realise this value is to carefully study and understand this instruction manual.
The batteries should be fitted in the holder which is located in the battery compartment. To fit new batteries first check the power switch on the unit is switched to OFF. Then loosen the two captive screws located in the battery cover (do not fully remove these from the cover) and remove the cover. Inside is the battery holder. Lift out the holder and detach the connector if it is already fitted.
CONTROLS AND WHAT THEY DO The CS-5MX 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-5MX is a silent operating machine and you should rotate the Sensitivity Control clockwise to the position where the audio threshold tone is comfortable.
Effect of Discriminate Control Position iii. Disc 2 This control is identical to Disc 1 and allows you to further identify the target signal being received. With Disc 1 set at 5 to reject small iron and silver foil, commence searching. Remember the CS-5MX is a motion machine which means that the search head needs to be constantly sweeping, except when in pin point mode - (see page 8). You now need to set Disc 2 to ignore ring pulls.
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.
Normal and Pinpoint Response SOUNDLEVEL NORMAL RESPONSE PINPOINT RESPONSE vi. Signal Meter/Battery Check This is a visual indication of the signal strength giving the experienced user more information about the target. This is particularly useful for pinpointing. When the BATT CHECK is pressed, the meter will indicate condition of the batteries. If the meter reading falls below the green band, the batteries should be replaced. vii.
DETECTION RANGE Detection ranges will vary depending on the size of the object, the length of time an object has been buried, and the type of ground the object is buried in. The best ground conditions are well compacted soils and coins can be found at the greatest depths if the object has been buried for some time and the coin has interacted with the salts in the ground, thereby appearing larger to the detector.
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.
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. Search Head Position It is essential that the search head is kept close and parallel as in 8. Do not hold the head too high above the ground, or at an odd angle as in A, C and D as you will be apt to miss finds.
DETECTOR NOT OPERATING ? (a) Check the condition of batteries under load using the meter. (See Battery Check Procedure) (b) Check that the search head is properly attached to the control box via the search head cable connector. (c) Interchange batteries and ensures connections are correct and secure. Battery life can vary tremendously between makes, therefore your ’new’ batteries may already be insufficiently powerful to run the detector.
