Assembling the CS4MX
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.
A search-head lead which is not well secured to the stem could move about causing
false signals. Cable ties or tape may be used to hold the lead in position. Align the arrows
on the plug and on the socket to connect the search-head lead to the control box
Adjust the position of the search-head so that it is parallel to the ground when the user is
in a normal standing position. Tighten the wing-nut on the search-head retaining screw.
Do not over-tighten. Friction of the head lugs against the neoprene washers keeps the
search-head in position. Excessive pressure on these parts should not be necessary.
(If some form of lubricant should ever find its way onto these washers it will be necessary to
disassemble the parts, wash and dry them before careful reassembly).
Each search-head is supplied complete with a lower stem to make changing easy.
Unplug the connector by pulling the plug outer case. This releases the catch to allow the
plug and socket to separate. Remove the lower stem assembly and refit the alternative
search-head. Always take care not to get water or dirt in the plug or socket. It is for this
reason that we recommend changing heads in clean conditions. Coil the search-head
lead tightly around the stem and fix with cable ties or tape for best performance. Align
the arrows on the plug and on the socket when connecting the search-head lead.
