CSR1 – PROFESSIONAL METAL DETECTOR
1. Introduction
Thank you for buying the CSR1! Please read the manual thoroughly before bringing this device into service.
If the device was damaged in transit, don't use it and contact your dealer.
2. Assembly
Open the carton and remove the main housing assembly. Twist the plastic stem lock at the end of the upper stem to
allow the lower stem to be inserted. Adjust the length and rotate the lower stem to wrap the cable around the stems
and take up any slack. Push the cable into the cable slots to hold it firm while allowing enough cable for free
movement of the search head. Turn the stem lock to fix it at the desired position.

3. Batteries & Battery Check
The CSR1 is powered by eight AA batteries (not supplied). It is advisable to use standard alkaline batteries to start
with. You can then evaluate the sort of use you give the detector and decide whether the investment in
rechargeables is justified.
The batteries should be fitted in the holder which is located in the battery compartment. To fit new batteries first
check the power switch on the unit is switched to OFF. Then loosen the two captive screws located in the battery
cover (do not fully remove these from the cover) and remove the cover. Inside is the battery holder. Lift out the holder
and detach the connector if it is already fitted. Load it with the eight batteries ensuring that each battery is inserted
the correct way round, (direction of batteries alternating). Roll each individual battery to ensure it is located correctly
and making proper contact. Replace the connector making sure that it is firm and well seated, and put the loaded
holder into the housing. Fit the cover and tighten the two captive screws finger tight.
CSR1 1 VELLEMAN
The condition of the batteries is continuously monitored and shown on the unit display. Make sure to select the
installed batteries under the Battery section of the Setup menu to obtain a correct readout. New or fully charged
batteries should cause the entire battery display to be filled. As the batteries drain, the symbol will gradually empty. If
the battery symbol is empty, the batteries should be replaced or recharged (if rechargeables are fitted). The battery
life depends on a number of factors including battery type and make, outside temperature and detector settings.
TIP: to maximise battery life:
1) Ensure that the backlight symbol () is not showing on the display.
2) Keep volume control set as low as possible.
3) Use Headphones.
Note: Batteries should not be left in the detector for long periods where they could leak, so remember to remove
them at the end of a day's searching.

8. Ground radar simulator
Ground radar simulator: this continuously scrolling radar is a view of the signal received by the CSR1. It can be used
as an additional tool to analyse signals and it is also a useful pinpointing aid. It is visible in both full screen search
mode and when the first level menus are displayed. The sensitivity of the radar display is controlled by the Pin Point
Gain setting.
Search head size: here the size of the currently fitted head is shown. If no head is fitted or under certain fault
conditions the display shows "???".
Battery: this symbol indicates the batteries' condition depending on the type set by the user.
ID value: the ID number (#4) corresponds to the position of the ID block (#1) on the ID scale. When there is no signal
or the signal is weak or confusing, the ID number spot will read "??". A value appears (and an ID block at the top of
the display) when the CSR1 successfully analyses a signal. The solid block below the ID scale indicates the range
that will not be detected. The sensitivity of the ID display is controlled by the Motion Gain setting.
Typical responses to common targets are (this may vary slightly from detector to detector):
Object ID value
ground 0
iron 1, 2, 3
foil 8
smaller coins 9-15
ring pull 11
bottle cap 13

b. Discrimination
This range of functions allows you to reject or ignore unwanted signals generated by items such as pull tabs. It can
also act as "Notch Accept" or "Notch Reject". There are four options to set the discrimination level to give maximum
flexibility and ease of setting. A black block under the line of ID numbers indicates that a signal with that number will
give no audio sound but the ID display will still show the signal.
NOTE: Ensure that there is no other metal near the search head when setting the Discrimination by sweeping objects
over the head. It is also advisable to reduce the sensitivity slightly when setting the Discrimination using Learn Reject
or Accept to reduce the chance of any unwanted signals. Once set the sensitivity may be increased again.

ANALOG: The audio signal comes straight from the CSR1 receiver circuit. It allows the operator to listen to the true
signal level and can allow the experienced user to ‘understand’ signals better. It does have the disadvantage that
smaller, deeper objects give fainter signals.
DIGITAL: The audio signal is directly controlled by the CSR1 computer. In this mode the audio signal is either on or
off. This means that a deep object will give the same audio volume as a shallow object. This can make the initial
location of an object easier and more positive but does not convey any other information.
e. Programs
These functions allow the operator to store and recall the set up of the CSR1. Up to two programs can be stored. A
program will store all of the current settings including Discrimination, Sensitivity, Frequencies etc. It will not store the
Display Contrast and Brightness settings. These are stored separately and retrieved automatically at turn on. Once
Store or Recall is selected rotate the MENU/SCROLL control to highlight the Program to be stored or recalled and
then press the ENTER button. The CSR1 comes with the first three programs preset to commonly used settings. The
COIN INLAND Program is set for high sensitivity to precious metals, the ALL METAL Program for deep seeking of all
metals and COIN BEACH Program for Beach use.

The default setting of 50 is a good general setting and should be adequate for most sites. However, a fine adjustment
is provided to allow the operator to adjust the CSR1 to give optimum performance on a particular site. The level is
adjusted by rotating the MENU/SCROLL control. An incorrect setting will result in a fluctuating signal on the RADAR
display and frequent ‘0’ targets on the ID display. To find the optimum ground setting, raise and lower the head
above an area of ground free from any targets then adjust the ground setting for minimum audio fluctuation and ID
indications. An alternative method is to set the Pin Point gain to 8 and then lower the head to an area of ground free
from any targets. If the audio level increases then decrease the ground setting, if it decreases, (goes quiet), then
increase the ground setting.
NOTE: If BEACH is selected then an incorrect ground setting will result in frequent ID targets in the range 3 to 6
depending on beach conditions. Adjust the ground setting as described above.

7. General Hints
a. Pinpointing
Move the search head to one side of the target. Press and hold the Pin Point button. Sweep the search head over
the target slowly whilst monitoring the RADAR display. The target is directly below the centre of the search head
when the signal is largest. If the RADAR signal is too broad then either move the head closer to the target and
release and press the Pin Point button, or simply raise the search head slightly off of the ground whilst sweeping the
head over the target. Make a mental note of the position of the maximum signal then turn through 90 degrees and
repeat the above procedure. Again make a mental note of the position of maximum signal. The point at which both
signals peak, is the position of the target. Dig carefully to avoid damaging your find.
CSR1 8 VELLEMAN
b. Detection Range
Your CSR1 is a top performance deep seeker but adverse soil conditions can significantly reduce the depth of
detection. Detection ranges will vary depending on the size of the object, the length of time an object has been
buried, and the type of ground the object is buried in.
The best ground conditions are well compacted soils and coins can be found at the greatest depths if the object has
been buried for some time and the coin has interacted with the salts in the ground, thereby appearing larger to the
detector. The worst conditions for detecting are on loosely compacted or freshly dug ground or when the object has
only recently been buried. In these conditions detection range will be reduced. 90% of all artefacts are found within 6"
(20 cm) of the surface.
c. Determining Target Size & Depth
An operator who is familiar with his instrument will be able to do an excellent job of determining object size, shape,
and depth before he digs. This technique is learned from careful analysis of the radar and audio signals coming from
the detector. Each time a signal is heard, listen for any peculiar characteristics it may have, determine over how large
an area you get a detector signal, and try to "outline" the object before you dig.
After digging up the object, compare the object size, shape, depth and position in the ground with signal information
you received before digging. After careful analysis of many digs, you will learn to "read" the hidden target before
digging.
d. The Importance of the Right Approach
Treasure hunting can be a profitable and rewarding hobby, if approached in a patient and diligent manner. Time
spent researching to locate a worthwhile site for a search can be time wasted if your search is hasty and erratic. To
achieve maximum results, it is important then to decide on your approach to any particular site in advance of the
actual search.
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 site coverage, at the same time as indicating the most likely area for
detailed search.
Your detector alone is not a guarantee of successful treasure hunting. Any detector needs an operator and for the
best results the operator needs the right approach, attitude and technique. Too many beginners neglect the
importance of pre-planning and research before using their detector in the field, and patience and technique during
the actual search.
A successful search should begin with research sometime before the day of the actual search. The extent and
thoroughness of your research will be one of the major factors in the success of your detecting. You should aim to
get as complete an understanding as possible of the local history and geography.
The key to the choice of the site is to think of people, where they congregated over the past few hundred years. What
were their customs and pursuits? Where did they spend money? Where did they carry money? The answers are not
Roman sites, nor are they associated with mystic treasure stories of crocks of gold. Rather, they are unassuming,
non dramatic places, like public footpaths and ancient rights of way, old houses and so on.
When you have chosen your site, allocate a whole day from early morning to early evening for the search. Make sure
that you have all the equipment you are likely to need. Your detector should be checked before starting out, and you
should always carry a spare set of batteries. You will also need a strong, sharp trowel. It is also a good idea to have
a set of lines and pins so that you can lay out your search area scientifically.
Most beginners make the mistake of rushing about hoping to chance upon a rare find. If for example there happened
to be a valuable ring that was buried 41 deep on the site you were searching, it you rushed about haphazardly and
quickly on the site, the odds would be very much against you finding it. On the other hand, it you pegged out the area
scientifically and searched slowly and thoroughly, the odds of finding the ring would be much more in your favour.
CSR1 9 VELLEMAN
Remember, BE PATIENT and WORK SLOWLY. Do not try to cover too large an area. Restrict yourself to a small
area and work through it thoroughly. Make a note of the position and extent of the area, and then when you return
you can start again further on without missing any ground or covering the same area twice.
It is also important to keep the detector head as close to the ground as possible. Ideally, you should "iron" the ground
with the search head of the detector, so that you do not lose any detection range. Similarly, if you work slowly and
carefully you should be able to distinguish the faint signals as well as the clear-cut signals and increase your finds.
The technique of getting the best out of your detector is not learnt overnight. You need to get as much experience as
possible so that you can recognise every kind of signal. Indeed, a good detector operator can often tell you what is
being detected before it is unearthed.
It is essential that the search head is kept close and
parallel as in B. Do not hold the head too high above the
ground, or at an odd angle as in A, C and D as you will
be apt to miss finds.
e. Sweeping Technique
For extremely small object searching, such as coins, rings, nuggets, etc. lower the search coil to within one inch of
the ground. Sweep the coil from side to side in a straight line in front of you. Keep the coil at a constant height as you
sweep from side to side. Move the coil at the rate of one foot per second.
The optimum sweep rate must be determined by each operator. The detector should be held comfortable in the
hand, with the coil held as closely to the ground as possible. As the detector is scanned from side to side in front of
the operator, the search coil should be advanced approximately two-thirds the diameter of the coil. This keeps the
operator moving ahead, and it allows some overlapping of each sweep. This overlapping ensures that nothing will be
missed. It is well to note here that the operator should not rush. This is one of the most common mistakes made by
detector users. If you rush, you will not adequately cover the ground.
6. Maintenance
When not in use your detector should be stored in a dry warm environment. If it is not to be used for a certain length
of time it is advisable to remove the batteries to avoid leakage which could cause serious damage. The working life
of your detector will be shortened by careless use or neglect of the unit. Think of your detector as a scientific
instrument. Your detector is designed to withstand rugged handling on any terrain, but misuse or lack of due attention
will tell in the end. After using your detector in a hostile environment (salt water, sand, etc.), the exterior parts should
be flushed with clean fresh water, paying attention to the head and stems, then carefully wiped dry.
(Storage)
7. Troubleshooting
a. The detector does not operate
a) Check the condition of batteries under load. (See "3. Batteries & Battery Check")
b) Check that the search head is properly attached to the control box via the search head cable connector.
c) Interchange batteries and ensures connections are correct and secure. Battery life can vary tremendously
between makes, therefore your 'new' batteries may already be insufficiently powerful to run the detector.
CSR1 10 VELLEMAN
b. Oscillating signal
a) This could be due to poor battery connections. Ensure that the batteries are securely clipped into place.
b) Loose search head cable connection - tighten.
c) Interference from a vehicle using a radio transmitter or possibility a stationary source of electromagnetic radiation
- if this occurs then reduce the sensitivity. If the problem persists then the best remedy is to wait until the
transmission stops.
c. Intermittent sound from speaker
a) This could be due to poor battery connections. Ensure that the batteries are securely clipped into place.
b) Loose search head cable connection - tighten.
c) Radio interference (see above).
d. Poor or No Contrast on Display
a) This could be due to poor battery condition. Ensure that batteries are in good condition.
b) The CSR1 internal storage could be corrupted. To reset the detector ensure it is turned OFF, press and hold
ENTER, turn the CSR1 ON and wait 5 seconds. You will be asked if you wish to reset the detector. Use the
MENU/SCROLL control to highlight YES then press ENTER. The detector will then be reset to factory settings.
e. No Sound or Partial Sound from Headphones
a) On headphones fitted with stereo/mono switch, ensure stereo is selected.
b) Ensure headphone connector is fully inserted into socket.
c) Try another set of headphones or try headphones on another piece of equipment.
f. Further Information
Before returning a detector for repair, please ensure you have done the following:
a) Read the instructions thoroughly.
b) Tried new batteries and checked procedure outlined above.
c) Return your detector with a letter giving full details of fault.
This equipment conforms to the EMC Directive 89/336/EEC.

3. Batterijen & batterijcontrole
De CSR1 werkt op 8 AA batterijen (niet bijgeleverd). Wij raden aan eerst gewone alkalinebatterijen te gebruiken. Zo
kunt u eerst zien hoe intensief u de detector gebruikt en of het de moeite loont oplaadbare batterijen aan te kopen.
Plaats de batterijen in de daartoe voorziene houder in het batterijvak. Schakel de detector uit vooraleer u nieuwe
batterijen plaatst. Draai de twee schroeven op de batterijbeschermkap los (verwijder ze niet helemaal) en verwijder
de beschermkap. De batterijhouder bevindt zich hieronder. Til de houder op en maak de koppeling los, als die al
vastgemaakt is. Plaats de acht batterijen op de juiste manier in de houder (in afwisselende richting). Draai de
batterijen elk afzonderlijk eens rond, om er zeker van te zijn dat ze goed vastzitten en contact geven. Maak de
koppeling weer vast en plaats de houder terug in de behuizing. Leg de beschermkap terug en draai de twee
schroeven aan met de hand.
De staat van de batterijen wordt doorlopend getest en weergegeven op het scherm. Vergeet niet om in het Setup
menu, onder "Battery" het geplaatste type batterijen te selecteren - zo krijgt u een accurate uitlezing. Nieuwe of
volledig geladen batterijen zullen een volledig gekleurd batterijsymbool doen verschijnen. Naarmate de batterijen
zwakker worden, zal ook het gekleurde deel van het symbool afnemen. Als het batterijsymbool leeg is moet u de
batterijen vervangen of herladen (als u oplaadbare batterijen gebruikt). De levensduur van batterijen hangt af van
een aantal factoren zoals type en merk, buitentemperatuur en de instellingen van de detector.
TIP om uw batterijen langer te doen meegaan:
1) Zorg ervoor dat de achtergrondverlichting van het LCD-scherm niet onnodig aanligt.
2) Hou het volume zo laag mogelijk.
3) Gebruik een hoofdtelefoon.
Opmerking: U laat batterijen best niet te lang in de detector zitten, want ze zouden kunnen lekken. Denk er dus aan
ze na de zoektocht weer te verwijderen.

Grondradarsimulator: deze doorlopend scrollende radar geeft de signalen weer die de CSR1 opvangt. Het is een
hulpmiddel om signalen te analyseren en vooral handig om de precieze plaats van voorwerpen te bepalen. Ook bij
het oproepen van menu's blijft deze radar zichtbaar. Zijn gevoeligheid wordt bepaald door de Pinpoint instelling.
Grootte zoekspoel: hier ziet u het formaat van de gemonteerde zoekspoel. Als er geen zoekspoel gemonteerd is, of
de grootte kan niet worden bepaald, verschijnt er "???".
Batterij: dit symbool geeft de staat van de batterijen weer volgens het type ingesteld door de gebruiker.
Identificatiewaarde: het identificatienummer (#4) komt overeen met de positie van het identificatieblokje (#1) boven
de schaal. Wanneer er geen signaal is, of het signaal is te zwak of onduidelijk, zal er "??" verschijnen. Wanneer de
CSR1 een signaal succesvol analyseert, zal er een waarde verschijnen (en een blokje bovenaan het scherm). De
balk onder de identificatieschaal geeft het bereik weer dat niet zal worden gedetecteerd. De gevoeligheid van de
identificatie wordt bepaald door de Motion Gain instelling.
Typische detecties van veel voorkomende voorwerpen zijn (dit kan variëren van detector tot detector):
Voorwerp Identificatiewaarde
grond 0
ijzer 1, 2, 3
folie 8
kleinere muntstukken 9-15
lipjes van drankblikjes 11
schroefdoppen 13
zilveren dollarstuk 19

b. Discriminatie
Deze functies laten u toe ongewenste signalen, zoals die van lipjes van drankblikjes, te filteren. Het kan ook dienen
om waarden te accepteren of te negeren. Er zijn vier mogelijkheden om de discriminatie in te stellen, om u een
optimaal gebruiksgemak te geven. Een zwarte balk onder de identificatieschaal geeft aan dat die waarden geen
audiosignaal zullen veroorzaken, maar ze worden wél nog altijd getoond op het scherm.
LET OP: Hou andere metalen uit de buurt van de zoekspoel terwijl u er voorwerpen overheen beweegt om de discriminatie in te stellen. U zet ook best de gevoeligheid wat lager tijdens het instellen van de discriminatie om de kans
op ongewenste voorwerpen te verlagen. Wanneer het toestel afgeregeld is, mag u de gevoeligheid terug verhogen.

Learn Reject laat u toe de CSR1 te 'leren' een of meerdere voorwerp(en) die over de zoekspoel worden bewogen, te
negeren. Wanneer Learn Reject geselecteerd is, moeten de stalen een aantal keren over de zoekspoel worden
bewogen. De CSR1 zal die detectie opslaan zodat soortgelijke detecties zullen worden genegeerd.
TIP! U kan deze functie gebruiken om heel specifieke voorwerpen te negeren. Eerst stelt u het toestel in zodat het
alle signalen weergeeft, en vervolgens kunt u die specifieke voorwerpen laten herkennen om deze te laten negeren.

De CSR1 zal dan de instelling op het identificatiepunt van het staal open zetten zodat alle voorwerpen met hetzelfde
identificatiepunt zullen worden herkend. Let wel op dat u de detector geen "grond" (ID 0) laat accepteren…
TIP! Dankzij deze functie kunt u op heel specifieke voorwerpen gaan zoeken. Stel de detector zo in dat hij alles
negeert, en laat hem daarna de voorwerpen herkennen waarnaar u wilt gaan zoeken.

Audiodiscriminatie kan aan- of afgezet worden voor zowel de bewegings- als de pinpointmode. De audiodiscriminatie
geeft de gebruiker een idee van de samenstelling van het voorwerp door de toonhoogte van het signaal te
veranderen. Hoe hoger de toon, hoe hoger op de schaal zich de detectie zal bevinden. Kies de gewenste optie voor
alle modes via de MENU/ SCROLL-knop en druk dan op ENTER.
OPMERKING: de audiodiscriminatie in pinpoint en de beweginsmode kunnen afzonderlijk ingesteld worden.
PIN - PT OFF: zet de audiodiscriminatie uit voor de pinpoint mode.
PIN - PT ON: zet de audiodiscriminatie aan voor de pinpoint mode: dit resulteert in een verschil in toonhoogte voor
het volledige identificatiebereik.
MOTION OFF: zet de audiodiscriminatie uit voor de bewegingsmode.
MOTION ON: zet de audiodiscriminatie aan voor de bewegingsmode. In deze mode zullen slechte signalen (bvb.
ijzer) een lage toon geven. Goede signalen zullen een hoge toon genereren.
OPMERKING: Er zal geen toon weerklinken als het identificatienummer genegeerd wordt.
TIP! De beste resultaten in deze mode worden behaald wanneer Silent Search aan staat.

Via MODE verandert u de manier waarop het geluid wordt gegenereerd. Dit heeft enkel invloed op de normale

ANALOG: Het audiosignaal komt direct van het detectiecircuit van de CSR1. Het laat de gebruiker toe te luisteren
naar het echte signaalniveau ; een ervaren gebruiker kan daar meer informatie uit halen. Het nadeel hieraan is dat
kleinere voorwerpen die zich dieper in de grond bevinden zwakkere signalen geven.
DIGITAL: Dit audiosignaal gaat via de computer in de CSR1. In deze mode is er ofwel een toon ofwel geen toon
(zonder schommeling in geluidssterkte): een voorwerp dat dieper zit zal hetzelfde volume opleveren als een
voorwerp vlak onder de oppervlakte. Dit vergemakkelijkt de initiële detectie, maar levert weinig tot geen bijkomende
informatie op.
e. Programma's
Deze functies dienen om de gebruikersinstellingen te bewaren en op te roepen. U kunt tot 2 programma's bewaren.
Een programma zal alle huidige instellingen bewaren (dus discriminatie, gevoeligheid, frequenties etc.). De contrasten helderheidinstellingen van het scherm worden niet opgeslagen ; voor deze instellingen neemt de CSR1 de
instellingen zoals ze waren voor het toestel werd afgezet. Wanneer Store of Recall geselecteerd is, bepaalt u met
MENU/SCROLL het te bewaren of op te vragen programma en drukt u op ENTER. De CSR1 heeft standaard drie
voorgeprogrammeerde instellingen die vaak worden gebruikt. Het programma COIN INLAND is afgeregeld voor het
zoeken naar kostbare metalen, het programma ALL METAL voor zoeken naar alle metalen op grote diepte en het
programma COIN BEACH voor gebruik op het strand.
