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.

‘Detecting with the CS6MX’). 3) Pinpoint The ‘motion’ aspect of the CS6MX is switched off whilst the pin-point mode is selected (switch in up position). In pin-point mode the search-head can be held still to determine the precise target position. Pinpoint mode operates in ‘All Metal’, ie. whatever level of discrimination you have chosen will be switched off while the pin-point button is depressed.

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.
Replace the battery compartment cover being careful to avoid cross threading the screws. Battery condition is monitored continuously on the CS6MX. Low batteries are indicated by a warble alarm repeated every few seconds.

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.

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.

Depending on how the controls are set the CS6MX can be set to ignore signals from certain types of metal targets. Iron targets are identified by a low pitch tone, however you can adjust the volume level of this tone so it can be clearly heard or totally inaudible.

Detector care The CS6MX is a robust design, however the control box should be treated with similar care as any electronic product. Dry off any water splashes immediately. The search-head may be immersed in water although the connector at the other end of the lead should always be kept dry.
