INTRODUCTION
To protect your investment complete both sections of the enclosed guarantee card and
return to C-Scope. This is particularly important in order to obtain the additional parts
guarantee. Please retain the original packing box. In the event that your detector should
ever require to be serviced, this packaging will be most suitable for postal protection.
C-Scope detectors are recognised as the finest detectors available. They are designed with
lasting quality, high technology, and above all, value for money. The only way to realise this
value is to carefully study and understand this instruction manual. You will then be able to
obtain all the advantages designed into your detector. It is also strongly recommended that
you experiment with the detector's operation in air using various test samples, in order to
learn to identify and understand the detector's capabilities and responses. Always remember
that becoming a good metal detectorist is like becoming a good photographer or fisherman,
that is, although it is an advantage to buy the best equipment, having bought it, patience and
hours of practice are needed to become proficient.
If the detector is not working as detailed in this manual then please refer to the
Troubleshooting Page.

Switch on the R1 and the opening screen tells you that it is all ready to go, select program
mode and there’s nothing to adjust except the volume. The R1 is optimised and automatic.
There are two powerful computers, each carrying out one million operations every second.
The first carries out all of the signal and target analysis. The second controls the user
interface. This takes the data produced by the first processor and presents it to the user on
the display. The twin processor design enables the R1 to carry on detecting whilst the user
changes settings. This makes it particularly easy to set the correct discrimination levels and
see the effect of different modes. The R1 features a unique Ground Radar display allowing
the user to see the signal being processed by the detector. Any adjustments are made using
the simple to operate MENU driven interface. A single button press gives access to the
MENU. A straightforward rotary control is used to select the item you wish to change, a
press of a button alters the setting – what could be easier?

ASSEMBLY
Open the carton and remove the main housing assembly. Twist the plastic stem lock,
located at the end of the upper stem to allow the lower stem to be inserted. Adjust for length
and rotate the lower stem to wrap the cable around the stems and take up any slack.
Allowing enough cable for free movement of the search head, push the cable into the cable
slots in the lower stem to hold it firm. Turn the stem lock to fix it at the desired position.
BATTERIES
The R1 is powered by eight AA batteries or a single 12v rechargeable pack from C-Scope. 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.
Battery Compartment
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.
Once fitted the battery type should be set by selecting the Battery option on the Setup menu.
This ensures that the battery condition is correctly displayed
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.
BATTERY CONDITION
The battery condition is continuously monitored and displayed. New or fully charged
batteries should cause the entire battery display to be filled. If the battery symbol is empty
then the batteries should be replaced, or recharged if rechargeable batteries are fitted.

The battery symbol gives a good representation of battery condition. This means that as the
batteries drain, the symbol will gradually empty. Generally when the battery is half full you
are about halfway through the charge, or life, of that battery pack. The amount of time varies
depending on a number of factors including battery type, 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.

GROUND RADAR SIMULATOR
This unique continuously scrolling RADAR is a view of the signal received by the R1 circuit.
It can be used as an additional tool to analyse any signals. It is also a useful Pin Pointing
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
This displays the size of the currently fitted head. If no head is fitted or under certain head
fault conditions the display will show ‘???’.
BATTERY
This shows the currently fitted type, set by the operator when the batteries are fitted. The
symbol shows the condition of the battery. For alkaline batteries a full, completely black
symbol, indicates a voltage of 13volts. An empty symbol is around 8volts. For rechargeable
batteries the upper level is reduced to 10.4V.

ID DISPLAY
The ID, (Identifier), numbers in the lower lefthand side correspond to the position of the ID
block on the line at the top of the display. When the R1 has no signal or the signal is too
weak or confusing to identify the display will show ‘??’. The ID line at the top of the screen
will show a block in the relative position when the R1 successfully analyses a signal. The left
hand end of the display is Iron , further right is Silver paper (aluminium foil, new 10p, old 10p
bottle cap and £1.. The solid blocks below the number line indicate ID ranges that will be
rejected by the R1. The Sensitivity of the ID display is controlled by the Motion Gain Setting.

This range of functions allows you to reject or ignore unwanted signals generated by items
such as pull tabs. It can also act as a Notch Accept or a 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, 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.

The audio signal comes straight from the R1 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 R1 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.

CONTRAST
This option sets the contrast level or viewing angle of the display. Once set it shouldn’t
require adjustment. However, if the R1 is used at dawn or dusk when the sun is low in the

desired level should be set by rotating the MENU/SCROLL control and then pressing the
ENTER button when satisfied, this will store the setting.
BRIGHTNESS
This option sets the brightness level of the backlight. In normal daylight the backlight is not
required and it should be set to 0. At night or in conditions of poor light the backlight level
should be adjusted by rotating the MENU/SCROLL control and then pressing the ENTER
button when satisfied, this will store the setting. IMPORTANT NOTE: The backlight
consumes a lot of power compared with the low consumption circuitry of the rest of the R1.
For this reason to ensure long battery life the backlight should only be used where
necessary and the brightness level kept to a minimum. The brighter the backlight the more
power it uses and the shorter the battery life will be. When the backlight is on the
symbol appears on the display to prevent inadvertent 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 R1 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.

Pin Pointing
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 are maximum is the position of the target. Dig carefully to avoid
damaging your find.
Target position Second Sweep
First Sweep
Detection Range
Your R1 is a top performance detector 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
depth 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 15cm of the surface.

16
Determining the Target Size
An operator who is familiar with their 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 signal 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 signals
you will learn to 'read' the hidden target before digging.

OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES from C-Scope
Headphones:
Headphones not only extend battery life but also improve sensitivity by reducing external
noises. The headphones should be fitted with a standard stereo 6.35mm, (1/4 inch), jack
plug. The headphone socket is located under the protective cap in the battery housing.
(NOTE: Stereo mode must be selected on headphones fitted with a stereo/mono switch).
Rechargeable battery pack:
A shrink wrapped pack of 8 rechargeable Nickel Cadmium batteries to replace the standard
batteries and holder.
Battery charger:
The C-Scope battery charger is designed to charge the rechargeable pack safely and
efficiently.
CHARGING BATTERIES
A battery charge socket is provided for use with the C-Scope battery charger (see
Accessories) and is located under the protective cap in the battery housing. (The smaller of
the two sockets.) Inserting the charger will automatically remove the power from the detector
so the charger must be removed to do a battery check. Do not attempt to recharge standard
batteries. It will take approximately fourteen hours to fully recharge flat batteries with the C-
Scope charging unit.
For further information, and a price list, for all C-Scope accessories please telephone
[phone], e-mail: [email protected] or contact your local dealer.
