  • Page 7: Getting To Know Your Cs4Zx

    HOLD GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CS4ZX The CS4ZX has two modes of operation, Motion and Non Motion. In Motion mode the detector head must be moving for the detector to register a find. Motion has the advantage of automatic ground cancellation and simplicity of operation. Non motion mode allows greater performance in restricted areas such as in undergrowth and allows accurate pin pointing of targets.
  • Page 8 Motion Non Motion Hold Tune/Retune Push the switch forward to operate in MOTION mode, leave in the central position to operate NON MOTION and pull back and release to RETUNE in NON MOTION and to recentralise the meter. You will see the control panel on the front of the detector has been grouped into boxes. The DISC and NOTCH controls and the NOTCH switch are functional when the detector is in MOTION mode only.

    Now pass a coin over the head and notice how the detector gives a signal all the time the coin is within a certain distance. Your CS4ZX is built with the latest technology but it will be necessary to retune your detector from time to time by momentarily flicking into postition 1 in diagram 6. This will counteract any drift and recentralise the meter.
  • Page 10 CS4ZX The following explains the controls of your CS4ZX. When you are familiar turn to page 12-15 for full operating details. A. Controls Common To Both Operating Modes SENSITIVITY (L in diagram 7). This is a rotary control which enables the user to set the sensitivity of the detector to targets.
  • Page 11 When the trigger is pulled back towards the user, the NON MOTION mode will be 'retuned'. Note that this position on the switch is 'spring loaded', i.e. to maintain RETUNE, the trigger lever must be held in this position. iii. FREQUENCY SHIFT SWITCH (I in diagram 7).
  • Page 12 In high performance detectors, like your CS4ZX, mastering this control is essential to gain the full capabilities.
  • Page 13 adjustment of the GROUND control in NON MOTION mode (see page 15 for further details). Once correctly set this control can be returned to METER DISC (a). c. BATTERY In this position, the meter indicates the state of charge of the batteries. When the needle is in the green area, the batteries are in a good usable condition.

  • Page 14: Changing Modes

    OPERATING IN MOTION MODE Push the trigger switch forward to select MOTION mode and turn the SENSITIVITY to the highlighted area. Your CS4ZX, in MOTION mode, is now ready to use. DISC Discrimination allows the user to ignore certain metals whilst still finding others. DISC does not allow individual metals to be ignored but rather a range.
  • Page 15 The NOTCH is now set and the DISC control can now be used to achieve the desired combination. It is the skilful combination of these two controls which gives the CS4ZX its versatile ability in most conditions and the following chart gives graphic explanation as to their effective use.
  • Page 16 SOUND NOTCH SETTING Although the CS4ZX is manufactured to the highest specification, slight variations can occur in all electronic equipment. This chart, therefore is intended as a guide only and precise setting for maximum performance will be achieved by constant practice.

    ACCEPT 'window'. This can give the impression that the detector is not functioning correctly. It is simply remedied by switching to the highlighted REJECT position. OPERATING IN NON MOTION MODE Setting The Ground Control On Inland Sites Prior to searching, the detector must first be set to ignore the signal due to the ground mineralisation. To do this find an area of ground thought to be free of metal objects and check using MOTION mode.

  • Page 18: Detection Range

    In these conditions detection range will be reduced. 90% of all artefacts are found within 6" of the surface. N.B. Your CS4ZX is a top performance deep seeker but adverse soil conditions can significantly reduce the depth of detection.

  • Page 19: Accessories (Optional)

    The C-Scope battery charger is designed to charge the rechargeable pack quickly and safely. CHARGING BATTERIES A battery charge socket is provided for use with the C-Scope battery charger (see Accessories) and is located under the protective cap in the battery housing. (The smaller of the two sockets.) Inserting the charger will automatically remove the power from the detector so the charger must be removed to do a battery check.
  • Page 20 Tactics will be decided by the type of site - it is more profitable to scan a small area thoroughly than to conduct a haphazard search of the total site. However, when the site is too far away for you to make several return visits, a plan should be adopted which gives maximum coverage, at the same time as indicating the most likely area for detailed search.

  • Page 21: Sweeping Technique

    Diagram 13 Search Head Position It is essential that the search head is kept close and parallel to the ground as in B. Do not hold the search head too high above the ground, or at an odd angle as in A, C, D as you will be apt to miss finds.

    In the event of the Police failing to locate the owner they will probably return the object to the finder. If, however, the owner makes a claim for the object at a later date, the finder must return the item to the owner.

Remember that when you are out with your metal detector, you are an ambassador for our hobby. Do nothing that may give it a bad name. CARE OF YOUR DETECTOR Storage When not in use your detector should be stored in a dry warm environment.
