CS6MX CS6MX Overview The CS6MX is a high performance specialist metal detector operating on the ‘MOTION’ principle. This means that the search-head must be kept moving at a steady sweep speed to achieve optimum performance. The 6MX features multiple discrimination allowing the user to detect the smallest and thinnest coins on the most heavily contaminated or mineralised sites. The CS6MX provides the option of interchangeable search-heads to optimise performance on a variety of site conditions.
Rapid start Follow these simple steps to start using the CS6MX within minutes: 1) Insert the lower stem into the upper stem (first press in the spring clip). 2) Twist the locking device so that the stem is locked at the required length. 3) Coil the search-head lead around the stem. 4) Plug the search-head lead into the socket on the control box. 5) Remove the battery compartment cover by loosening the four retaining screws.
The CS6MX Features and what they do CS6MX 1) On Off/Sensitivity control. Rotary control switches the detector on/off and adjusts the sensitivity. Ground containing mineralisation and some beach situations may cause instability or false signals requiring a reduction of the sensitivity level. 2) Ground Level control. Start off with this set to AUTO.
Assembling the CS6MX The stem lock should be slackened to allow the lower stem to enter the upper stem section. The spring clip should be pressed in to allow the lower stem to slide into the upper stem. This spring clip will pop into any of the holes in the upper stem and firmly fix the two stems together. Tighten the stem lock to stop any movement in the stems. The search-head lead may then be wound around the stem as shown in the photograph.
Belt mounting CS6MX Squeeze the control box retaining clips together using your thumbs as shown in the photograph. The control box will now slide towards you free of the control box mounting clip. The control box can be fitted to your belt using the clip provided. In belt mounted use, be sure to wind the search-head cable up the stem at least to the stem lock and secure it with tape or cable tie. This is because the lead will be detected like a target if it is left free to move.
Detecting with the CS6MX On the majority of inland sites the ground control should be set to AUTO and the recommended sensitivity setting between 7-9 on the scale will give the best results. Some types of ground may give rise to false signals and the sensitivity level should be reduced to a point where operation of the detector becomes stable. Sweep the detector head from side to side with a steady relaxed motion.
Searching. When the detector gives a signal, move the search-head to the approximate area where the signal was heard, hold the switch in pinpoint and move the search-head carefully around. The strongest signal will occur directly below the centre of the search-head. Dig a neat hole by cutting around the signal position with a sharp edged trowel and remove a divot of earth which might now contain the metal object.
Sensitivity, ground effect & discrimination You will be able to get more performance out of your detector if you understand the relationship between three aspects of detector operation sensitivity, ground effect and discrimination. If you increase the power of a metal detector too much the ground itself is detected and false signals make the detector difficult to use.

Detector care The CS6MX is a robust design, however the control box should be treated with similar care as any electronic product. Dry off any water splashes immediately. The search-head may be immersed in water although the connector at the other end of the lead should always be kept dry. Stem and search-head parts should be cleaned and dried at the end of a day’s detecting. Do not use solvents.
