f) Pinpointing a target
Accurately pinpointing a target makes digging it up easier, but it takes practice. We suggest you practise finding
sample on your own property before you start searching other locations.
Follow these steps to pinpoint a target:
1. When the detector detects a buried target, continue sweeping the search coil over the target in a narrowing
side-to-side motion.
2. Make a visual note of the exact spot on the ground where the detector beeps.
3. Stop the search coil directly over this point on the ground. Then move the search coil straight forward away
from you and straight back towards you a couple of times and make another visual note.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 at a right angle to the previous search line. Make an “X” mark on the ground. The target
will be directly below the “X” at the point of the beep response.
g) Factors that affect the detecting
It’s difficult to have an accurate detecting result. Sometimes the detecting may be restricted by some factors:
- the angle of the object buried in the soil
- the depth of the target
- the level of oxidization of the target
- the size of the target
- electro-magnetic and electrical interference surrounding the object.
If you detect patiently and correctly and practise several times, you’ll get satisfactory results.
h) Using headphones
1. Make sure your headphones have a 3.5mm plug.
2. Set the VOLUME knob to zero.
3. Insert the headphones’ plug into the PHONE jack. The internal speaker will automatically disconnect.
4. Set the VOLUME knob to the desired setting. Do not listen at extremely high volume levels, as it may lead to
partial or permanent hearing loss.
5. Care & Maintenance
Your CS200 metal detector is an example of superior design and craftsmanship. The following suggestions will help
you take care of your metal detector so you can enjoy it for years.
- Handle the detector gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage circuit boards and cases and can
cause the detector to work improperly.
- Use the detector only in normal temperature environments. Temperature extremes can shorten the life
of electronic devices, or damage the detector’s exterior.
- Keep the detector away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature wear of parts.
- Wipe the detector with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking new. Do not use harsh chemicals,
cleaning solvents or strong detergents to clean the detector.
