Cleaning And Storage - Velleman CS130 Bedienungsanleitung

12.

Cleaning and storage

 The life of your detector is shortened by neglect or careless use. Wipe the housing with a damp cloth and
then wipe it dry carefully if you have used the detector in a hostile environment (salty water, sand, etc.).
 Do not clean the detector with solvents or detergents.
 The search coil is waterproof and can be submerged in either fresh or salt water. However, do not let water
enter the control box. Rinse the search coil with fresh water after using in salt water.
Salt damage
 Salty air can penetrate the control box in case of frequent use in a salty environment. Parts of the
electronic circuitry may corrode. You can protect your metal detector by covering the control box with
polythene. The warranty does not cover damage caused by salty environments.
Storage
 Store the detector in a dry and warm environment under normal humidity conditions.
 Remove the batteries to prevent them from leaking if the metal detector is to be stored for long periods.
13. Troubleshooting
 Before turning the device in for repair, read this section as it might contain the solution for your problem.
 When problems occur, first check the batteries. Replace the batteries when necessary and ensure the
connections are correct and secure.
The detector drifts out of tune
 The metal detector can be affected by changing temperatures e.g. when the device is taken out of storage
and out into the field. Wait a while until the temperature of your CS130 has stabilised. The device may
need as much as half an hour to acclimatise if the change in temperature is extreme.
 Sometimes batteries will cause the signal to drift. Replace them if this is the case.
14. Code of Conduct
 Do not interfere with archaeological sites or ancient monuments. Join your local archaeological society if
you are interested in ancient history.
 Do not leave a mess. Use a sharpened trowel or knife to cut a neat circle or triangle, extract the object and
carefully replace the soil and the grass.
 Help keep your country tidy. Bottle tops, silver paper and tin cans belong in a waste bin. Rusty iron and
other scrap should be collected and taken to a specialized company for further handling.
 Do not trespass: ask permission before venturing onto private property.
 Report all historical finds to the local museum or government and get expert help if you accidentally
discover a site of archaeological interest.
 Be very careful if you discover any live ammunition or any lethal object such as an unexploded mine. Do
not touch the object! Mark the site carefully and report the find at once to the local police.
 Do not leave gates open when crossing fields and do not damage crops or frighten animals.
 Try to get along with any other detector you may meet. There is much to be learnt from experienced users.
 Always obey local laws and regulations. Contact your local government for more information.
Notice: It is illegal for anyone to use a metal detector on a scheduled ancient monument unless permission
has been obtained from the Historic Buildings and Ancient Monument Commission for England or the
Secretary of State for the Environment in Scotland and Wales.
15. Batteries
 When battery-voltage is low (<8.8V), the low battery indicator [1] lights up and batteries must be replaced
to ensure correct functioning of the detector.
 Switch off the detector by turning the VOLUME button [2] counter clockwise until a click is heard.
 Open the compartments [D] and insert a new 9V AA battery (6LR61C, not included).
 Close the battery compartment. The detector is now ready for use.
WARNING:
Do not puncture or throw batteries in fire as they might explode.
Do not attempt to recharge non-rechargeable batteries.
Dispose of batteries in accordance with local regulations.
Keep batteries away from children.
