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.
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.

CS6MX The CS6MX Features and what they do 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.

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.
CS6MX Belt mounting 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.

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.

CS6MX 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.
