Check the batteries are in good condition prior to, and frequently during the search. The use of
headphones is recommended as battery life is extended and extraneous noise is reduced allowing
total concentration. With the detector head in the air, away from metals the THRESHOLD
control is increased to the point just below the point at which the continuous audio tone is heard.
This is the setting that will allow the user to get the best results.
The FREQUENCY control can then be adjusted to the desired position. At first set the control to
the mid position and when you are ready to progress adjust the control to learn the effect on
different targets. It is instructive to bury some objects in a clear patch of soil and note the
response when swept at different rates with FREQUENCY at various levels.
IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS
The Pulse Induction technique of metal detection is highly iron-sensitive. Unlike conventional
induction balance metal detectors, it is not possible to isolate ferrous objects as a specific
category of material. For this reason we consider that the CS6
Pi
is not suitable for use on sites
with a high level of iron contamination.
This pulse induction detector is exceptionally stable and has excellent depth penetrating abilities.
The great stability of the design makes the CS6
Pi
the ideal choice for beach hunting. The
excellent depth penetration and sensitivity to iron objects makes the CS6
Pi
perfect for relic and
artefact hunting and any application where depth of ground penetration is the main
consideration.
Care must be exercised in the use of the frequency change control. Settings that are too high will
eliminate metal foil and even ring-pulls but some other thin section objects such as rings and
coins may also be rejected on these settings. It is vital to test your machine on the type of objects
you wish to find and ensure that your machine settings are right for the job in hand.
The CS6
Pi
is a MOTION PULSE design which means that the search-head must be kept in
motion with a steady swing from side to side in order for it to work to maximum effect
. It is
possible to sweep the head too fast over a faint target - get the feel of this by practice, and sweep
the detector head accordingly.
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 depth 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 worst conditions for detecting are on loosely compacted or freshly dug ground
or when the object has only recently been buried. In these conditions detection range will be
reduced. 90% of all artefacts are found within 6" of the surface.
N.B. Your CS6
Pi
is a top performance deep seeking Motion Pulse Induction detector, but
adverse soil conditions can significantly reduce the depth of detection.
