CS5MXP
VELLEMAN
- 8 -
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.
The more familiar you become with your CS-5MXP Metal detector the more skilful combinations of Disc 1 & 2 you
will use. The following chart gives a few ideas of setting and the conditions under which you would employ them.
DISC
SETTING
REF
DISC 1
DISC 2
WHEN USED
A
0
0
All metal detecting
B
5
0
Dig all signals
C
5
7
To analyse possible ring pulls etc (see above)
D
5
10
If searching for modern currency (e.g. coins) in a highly screw cap
contaminated site (e.g. picnic area)
E
7
0
Use on beach or picnic site which is highly ring pull contaminated
F
10
0
Use on same sites as above except where highly screw cap
contaminated.
NOTES :
i)
When using references E & F please be sure that the search site would not yield silver
hammered coins which may be ignored at these high discrimination settings.
ii)
In reference A, you way need to reduce sensitivity in highly mineralised or beach sites
iii)
These settings are guidelines only and you should practice with various known objects
to ensure that you are familiar with the settings correct for your machine.
iv. Disc 2 Push Select Button
See Disc 2 control above.
v. Pinpoint Push Select Button
At stated earlier the CS-5MXP is a motion machine which requires the head to be constantly moving.
When you have located a target you must pinpoint it carefully to avoid unnecessary digging.
When held down, the pinpoint button enables the detector to give a varying response which peaks directly
above the target.
To pinpoint a target carry out the following procedure :
1. Move the search head to a known clear patch.
2. Hold the pinpoint button down and return the head to the target area ; move it slowly and listen for the
peak response.
The all metal pinpointing mode gives a positive response to all metal irrespective of the Discriminate
setting.
It is not necessary to sweep the target as the pinpoint mode will respond even when held stationary over
the object although the target will fade gradually if the head is held over it for too long.
