Preparation - Velleman CS300 Mode D'emploi

The target indicator consists of an LCD display and target icons. When the detector locates an object, an arrow
appears below the target icon of the type of material which is probably being detected. The depth of the target
is also displayed.
If the detector receives a strong signal, the arrow appears steadily. If the signal is weak, the arrow blinks

or does not appear.
The target icons are only visual references to help you decide whether or not an item is worth investigating.

GOLD RANGE
Iron/foil ( ): indicates that the target is probably iron or foil. Some oxidized iron might actually register
somewhere within the SILVER range.
Nickel ( ): indicates that the target is probably a nickel object.
Pull tab ( ): indicates that the target is probably a pull tab from an aluminium can. Some rough gold items
might register within the pull tab category.
S-CAPS ( ): indicates that the target is probably a type of metal like a bottle cap with whorl. Some small gold
items might register within this category.
Zinc/copper ( ): indicated that the target might be a zinc or copper object. Some larger gold items might
register within the 1¢ category.
SILVER RANGE
10¢/1¢ ( ): indicates that the target is probably an old 1¢, 10¢ or aluminium coin.
25¢ ( ): indicates that the target is probably a 25¢ or a small silver coin. Some larger aluminium coins might
register within this category.
50¢ ( ): indicates that the target is probably a 50¢ coin. Some larger silver coins might register within this
category.
Tones
If the detector is set to the ALL-METAL mode, it sounds a single tone when it detects any type of metal.
If you set the detector to the DISC or NOTCH modes, the built-in audio identification system sounds a unique
audio tone for each of the three categories of metal. This makes it easier to identify the metal being detected.
The detector sounds a low tone when it detects small gold objects, a nail, a bottle cap or nickel.

The medium tone is for aluminium pull tabs, zinc or copper items. Depending on the alloys used to make

them, about 15 percent of gold rings cause the detector to sound a medium tone.
A high tone is for brass or silver items. Highly oxidized iron may generate a medium or high tone.

Preparation

7.1 Assembling your Metal Detector
Assembling your detector is easy and requires no special tools. Just follow these steps:
1. Remove the fixation system of the search coil (nut and bolt system). Insert the stem and align the holes on
the search coil bracket and the stem. Push the bolt through the holes and tighten with the nut knob.
CAUTION: Do not tighten the search coil fixation too hard. Do not use tools such as pliers to tighten it.
2. Insert the arm support into the end of the stem and tighten the lock screw at the back of the control housing.
3. Turn the stem's lock nut clockwise until it loosens.
4. Adjust the stem length to have the search coil level with and about ½ to 2 inches above the ground when
you stand upright with the detector in your hand, your arm relaxed at your side.
5. Turn the stem's lock nut counter-clockwise to lock it in place.
6. Wind the search coil cable around the stem. Leave enough slack in the cable. Insert the search coil's plug
into the search coil jack on the detector's control housing.
CAUTION: The search coil's plug fits into the jack only one way. Do not force the plug or you could
damage it.
7. Loosen the search coil fixation knob, adjust the search coil to the desired angle and tighten the nut knob.
