The CS3MX is a high performance 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. There is a pin-point function which switches off the motion effect so that the search-head can be brought to rest over the target signal.
Follow these simple steps to start using the CS3MX within minutes . . . Assemble the CS3MX by inserting the lower stem into the upper stem. Rotate the lower stem so that the search-head cable is coiled around the stem as shown in the photograph.

Pin-point. The ‘motion’ aspect of the CS3MX is switched off whilst the pin-point button is depressed. In pin-point mode the search-head can be held still to determine the precise target position. Pin-point mode operates in ‘All Metal’, ie. whatever level of discrimination you have preset will be switched off while the pin-point button is depressed.
Adjust the position of the search-head so that it is parallel to the ground when the user is in a normal standing position. Tighten the wing-nut on the search- head retaining screw. Do not over-tighten. Friction of the head lugs against the neoprene washers keeps the search-head in position.

belt mounting 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 length adjuster and secure it with tape or cable tie. This is because the search- head is sensitive to metal objects above to some extent and the lead will be detected if it is left free to move.

Replace the battery compartment cover being very careful to avoid cross threading the screws. Battery condition is monitored continuously on the CS3MX. Low battery condition is indicated by a step change in the signal tone to a higher pitch.

We recommend searching with a low level of discrimination (green area on the scale 1-4). At this setting the CS3MX will not react to small pieces of iron but will give a positive audio tone on other metal targets. Increasing the discrimination level will eliminate signals from a wider range of metal objects which are likely to be rubbish.

earth which might now contain the metal object. Run the detector over the area again in pin-point mode to see if the metal object is still in the hole or in the piece of earth which you have just removed. Dig some more and sift through the earth until you find what you are looking for.

The CS3MX can be set to ignore signals from certain categories of metal target. Small iron objects in the ground are a problem on many farmland sites. These signals can be ignored by setting the discriminate control to about number ‘2’, within the green area on the discriminate scale.
The CS3MX is a robust design, however the control box should be treated with similar care as any electronic product. Dry off any water splashes immediately.
