ABOUT YOUR DETECTOR Your CZ-3D is an extremely advanced and sophisticated instrument. It is maximized for a very specific function — finding & properly identifying older era coins at older sites. Simply select the «enhance mode» with the utilization of the «salt/ enhance» switch to find more rare coins! The CZ-3D was designed to find more good metals such as brass, bronze, copper, silver, and certain gold: reporting it as a high tone. In addition, a fourth tone has been added to distinguish be

SEARCH MODES AUTOTUNE SEARCH MODE Set the DISC control to Autotune for a very sensitive, wide-scan, all- metal, motion search mode. Since this mode responds to all metal targets and does not have the ability to identify or reject targets, this will probably not be your normal search mode. The Autotune mode does have some advantages however which make it useful to use in at least two situations: 1. Non-Trashy Areas.

TIPS

1. The M-Scope should be powered down (turned off) prior to disassembling the unit, or prior to disconnecting or swapping any of the transmitter and receiver panels.

2. Unit comes on and then cycles off.

a. Check the battery voltage and if below 10.9 volts, recharge the batteries completely or hook up the charging unit.

The voltage must be above the 10.9 range or the unit will not come on. See Fig. L

3. Unit tries to come on but won’t power up.

a. Check the position of all the transmit and receive panels and make sure they are placed properly, and that the top is put on correctly. There are red and green dots under the latches that are used to help with the correct placement of the panels. See Fig. G

4. Unit comes on but has no display on screen (blue screen).

a. Press the number 3 key on the control panel and then use the up arrow until the screen contrast returns the desired level, or b. Press the factory preset key #6 or any of the user preset keys #7, 8, or 9.

5. Unit comes on but has a blocked photo diode.

a. Disassemble the unit and reassemble it placing the receive panels in a different order. Make sure to check for proper placement of the bases. If the unit still shows a blocked diode but in another location the panel will need to be

replaced.

b. Make sure that the unit is placed on level ground so that the panels are parallel with each other. We recommend that bases with the leveler option be used on uneven surfaces.

6. Unit is plugged into the charger but the voltage isn’t going up.

a. Make sure the AC plug is plugged in to a live outlet, and that the charger output plug is pushed all the way in to the unit and making good contact. See Fig. L

7. To switch unit to operate at 50/60 Hz mode. a. In diagnostic mode, press the up button which will allow you to toggle between 50/60 Hz. When operating in countries with 60 Hz AC power, the 60 Hz mode should be selected. Conversely, when operating in countries with 50 Hz AC power, the 50 Hz mode should be selected. 50 Hz will not operate correctly within a 60 Hz environment and vice versa.

8. Fisher recommends that all M-Scope units intended for outdoor useage be used with our Weather Protective Package option. This option includes a pop-up shelter that shields the M-Scope from direct sunlight (UV rays), and from rainfall.

The “Weather Protected” option also includes a mat to keep the bases from getting excessively dirty.

9. Fisher recommends that when using a hand held weapons detector in conjunction with the M-Scope, the hand held operator stand approximately 3 feet or more from the M-Scope.

10. Remember that the M-Scopes factory default access code is 01. The default access code will remain 01 until it is changed by a user.

11. Remember that when storing or transporting your M-Scope, make sure that you secure the latches in their locked position to prevent them from bending or breaking.

INCORRECT > latches unlocked

< CORRECT latches in the locked position

22

12. Remember the following tips for caring and maintaining your M-Scope:

• Check the spring contact pins and boards for dirt and debris.

• When cleaning your M-Scope, use a damp cloth only.

• Do not submerge the bases or allow the bases to be placed in an area where their is a chance they might get rain runoff.

• Do not use the M-Scope in direct rain, see Tip 8 for information on Fisher’s Weather Protective Package Option.

• If your M-Scope, does get wet, turn off immediately and disassemble. Wipe external surfaces dry and slightly shake

individual parts to remove water from inside the unit. Allow the unit to thoroughly dry before you assemble and turn on.

If you are experiencing trouble, after you have allowed the unit sufficient time to dry, please contact the factory

13. Please see details on your warranty card if service becomes necessary or contact the Fisher factory.

If your M-Scope is equipped with the leveling option proceed with step 3, if not, move to step 4. We recommend that bases with the

leveler option be used on uneven surfaces. Hold the base assembly level, and engage the push-button levelers by depressing each of the four lever actuators’ pushbuttons in turn. FIG.D — Depressing one of these pushbuttons releases its leveler leg so it can drop down as far as necessary to reach the floor below. Releasing the pushbutton locks the leg in place. Releasing the leveler legs while the control unit and bases are level to the ground allows the legs to automatically extend to the proper length necesssary to hold the M-Scope security gate assembly level. The leveler legs can make up for low spots in the

ground’s surface up to two inches deep.

LED Testing

The LEDs can be controlled manually while in the diagnostics mode by pressing the different numeral keys. Duration is approximately

4.5 seconds, then returning to diagnostic mode. The ready light will go green and the LED bar graph displays the signal strength.

Please contact the Fisher factory or your Fisher Sales Representative, or Distributor if you have not had technical training on accessing the diagnostic screens!

Diagnostics Screens

The M-Scope has a Diagnostic Mode that can be used to check the performance of its six Photo Detector channels, and of its three separate metal detector zones. It is also useful for exercising all of the system’s various LEDs.

This mode was not designed for M-Scope operators’ use. Misusing it can’t damage anything, so its operation is described below.

To enter the diagnostic mode, begin with the power to the M-Scope turned off. Turn the power on, and quickly press the down arrow key, then the up arrow key, then wait for the unit to complete its LED sequencing self test pattern. Each of these arrow key presses must be done within two seconds of powering on.

This is a diagnostics mode entry on screen. It displays the software date and version information. If you ever need to contact the manufacturer of your M-Scope to ask questions about, or report trouble with your unit, it will be very helpful if you include this information in your correspondence.

Press any key to exit the diagnostics mode entry screen.

Press the 0 key twice to return to normal operating mode.

The operational diagnostic mode screens show the six Photo Detector channels’ states.

The open, light colored ovals represent channels that are receiving a full power light signal. The filled in, dark colored ovals represent channels that are blocked , indicating that they are being occluded by an obstruction in the passageway. Channels receiving only partial illumination are depicted by partially filled in ovals.

The alphanumeric characters between the pairs of ovals represent the magnitudes of the three zones’ most recent target measurements. These values are expressed in hexadecimal engineering units *, and they vary with the system’s sensitivity setting.

Diagnostic mode target measurements are made by passing a target through the portal, across the Photo Detectors’ paths, just as they are in normal mode.

The time it takes the target to go through the Photo Detectors’ paths is shown in units of seconds. This value is displayed as t=xxS .

*{Hexadecimal, also known as base sixteen, is a numbering system based on sixteen single digit characters. The character set contains the ten decimal characters 0 through nine, followed by the first six letters of the alphabet, A through F. The smallest two digit value in ‘hex’ is 00 and the largest is FF}.

The walls can be tipped over when they are not connected to each other through the control unit, so before assembling the walls, we need to make sure that the bases will be stable enough to build on. (Once the unit is fully assembled, the walls and control unit will form a stable structure that can’t be pushed over easily). There are adjustable outrigger supports built into the sides of the bases that are used to increase the width of the bases’ stances while the walls are being raised. This makes the walls less prone to being knocked over. To adjust one of these outriggers, pull it out part way, until it is free to rotate. There are several positions at which the outrigger will lock into place when fully extended. Rotate the outrigger to the point where the outrigger’s foot is in contact with the ground, then pull the outrigger all the way out, and try turning it slightly in either direction until it locks in place in the best position available. Follow this the process with the M-Scopes four outriggers. FIG. E

At this point you must decide which end of the portal will serve as the entrance and which will serve as the exit. The operator’s position is the exit, which is the end facing the LED bar graph and L.C.D. FIG. F — Note that the transmitter &

receiver panels position is determined by the orientation of the control panel. When facing the exit/operator position, the right hand wall will consist of three transmitter panels, and the left hand wall will consist of three receiver panels. Incorrect

PRESETS

The M-Scope’s ideal group of settings may change with different users’ individual preferences, or in different security applications.

The M-Scope can store three separate groups of settings under the headings of User Presets 1, 2 and 3. These correspond to numeral keys 7,8 and 9 respectively. A fourth group of settings, called the Factory Presets, corresponds to the numeral 6 key. To configure the M-Scope to use any of these four Preset groups, simply press the corresponding numeral key when the M-Scope is in normal operating mode. For example, pressing the numeral 8 key will set the M-Scope to the configuration stored in User Preset 2.

When you receive your M-Scope, Presets 1, 2, 3 and the FP (factory Preset) will be saved to the following levels. Before using the M-Scope in any application, all target types and sizes of interest should be passed through the M-Scope to properly select the appropriate sensitivity settings. Read below if you would like to configure your own unique Presets.

To assign a group of settings to one of the User Presets, adjust the all of the M-Scope’s variables as discussed in the preceding instructions, and then press and hold the corresponding numeral key for at least one second to store the settings. This is similar to the way most car radio Presets are stored. Note: the Factory Presets cannot be changed.

If the M-Scope is password protected (Access enabled mode), the system will prompt the operator to enter in their password, or Access code.

Changing the values in any of the three User Presets while the unit is in the Access enabled mode, requires a Master level access code.

5. RATE ALARM MENU

To access the rate alarm menu, press the rate key [numeral 5] while the M-Scope is in normal operating mode. The LCD will show the rate alarm setting. There are six possible speed settings including the disable rate alarm setting [i.e. 0.2m/S,

0.5m/S, 1.0m/S, 1.5m/S, 2.0m/S, Disabled]. All rates are expressed in meters per second. Use the Up/Down arrows to adjust the rate alarm setting. Press numeral

0 [or wait ten seconds] to exit the rate alarm menu. If the rate alarm is not set to

DISABLED, a subject taking too long (more than 7.5 seconds) to exit the M-Scope will also cause a speed violation.

While in the Rate Alarm Menu, a user can choose to set the M-Scope to an “Entrance

Only Active” mode. In this mode, the M-Scope alarms and counts people that enter the unit through the entrance only, and ignores those entering through the exit side of the unit. The “Entrance Only Active” mode can be set by pressing the numeral 5 key while in the Rate Alarm Menu. “Entrance Only Active” will be displayed in the rate alarm menu and on the title screen when powering the unit on. This function is useful in situations where there is an interest in screening people entering an event and but not screening or acquiring statistics (for example, people or target counters) when they are leaving.

To return to the normal operating mode (the alarm and counter are active when people enter through the entrance and exit), press the 5 key again, while in the Rate Alarm Menu.

6. ACCESS MENUS / PASSWORD PROTECTION

Access to adjustable parameters such as sensitivity and rate alarm settings, and to the statistics counters, may be password protected using the features found on the Access menu. Pressing the Down arrow key while the M-Scope is in normal mode opens the access menu. If the Access feature is enabled, meaning the system is currently under password protection, the LCD screen will prompt you to enter the current access code. The M-Scopes factory default access code is 01.

The default access code will remain 01, until it is changed by a user.

• System will respond to an incorrect access code entry by displaying code

mismatch.

Zone Settings

It is possible to adjust the individual zone sensitivities to fine tune the performance of the M-Scope. Once in the sensitivity menu, press any key other than the Up,

Down or 0 button. This will display the Zone select screen. The three bar graphs and numerical reading represent the settings for the TOP (top bar graph), MIDDLE (middle bar graph), and Bottom (bottom bar graph) zones. These settings range from 0.00

(which corresponds to a zone being completely ignored) to a value of 2.00 (which corresponds to a zone having twice the sensitivity as set by the Sensitivity Menu). A value of 1.00 corresponds to a zone having an equal setting as the sensitivity menu.

Pressing numerals adjusts the settings for the zones. Pressing numeral 1, decreases the sensitivity for the top zone. Pressing numeral 2, resets the top zone to a value of 1.00. Pressing numeral 3, increases the sensitivity to only the top zone. In similar fashion, buttons 4,5 and 6 adjust the zone settings for the middle zone. Buttons 7,8 and 9 adjust the settings for the bottom zone. Pressing the Up, Down or 0 numeral, returns to the Sensitivity Menu.

If your car is too small to accommodate the entire unit in one block, simply remove the straps and load the components wherever there is room for them. The entire M-Scope can be loaded into the back seat of a small car. You may wish to unstack the components and load them individually if the entire unit is too heavy for you to lift by yourself. The M-Scope weighs about 90lbs, which is very light for a security portal, but too heavy for most people to safely lift, unaid ed.

ADVANCED FUNCTIONS

You may exit any of these menu modes by pressing the exit key [numeral 0], or by waiting for the ten second keyboard timeout, after which the M-Scope will automatically revert to normal operating mode. Hold the up/down arrow keys for more than one second for rapid increment or decrement.

Zone Indication

The M-Scope has three zones. If one or more of the zones detect target signals strong enough to exceed the alarm threshold, the audio alert will sound, and the LED bar graph will flash several times. The zone indicator light corresponding to the zone where the strongest signal was received will glow red. The zone indicator light for any other zone that detected a signal strong enough to exceed the alarm threshold will repeatedly change its color between red and green at a rate that will tend to make the indicator light appear yellow. The zone indicator light for any zone that did not receive a threshold crossing signal, will continue to glow green. No more than one zone indicator can glow red at a time. No more than two can glow yellow (alternating red and green) at a time. Any combination of green zone indicators is possible.

After finding target(s), the audio alert will continue to beep and the alarm indicator lights will continue to flash for about five seconds before the M-Scope indicates readiness to accept the next subject with a steady green ready light.

Key Stuck Alarm

When any key is held down for more than twenty seconds, the bar graph LEDs go dark, the zone and ready indicators turn red, and the LCD screen shows the words “Key Is Stuck!”. It also shows a representation of the keypad itself with the properly functioning keys shown with dark numerals on light backgrounds, whereas the stuck key shows light numerals on dark background.

Shut Down Sequence

To shut down the M-Scope security gate, press the shut down key [numeral 0]. The LCD will show the words “SHUTDOWN STARTED.” You must press the numeral 1 key within five seconds of the shutdown screen’s appearance to complete the shut down process, or else the system will return to the normal operating mode. The LED bar graph will illuminate singly, in descending order, marking the stages of the shutdown process.

The M-Scope has an automatic self-shutdown safeguard that will prevent complete battery drainage. If the battery level is too low, the unit will automatically shut down and will remain off until the battery is sufficiently charged, or the battery charger is plugged in.

Battery Low Alarm

The M-Scope is powered by sealed lead acid batteries similar to those used in automobiles.

Keeping a load on such batteries when their voltages are too low will eventually destroy them, so the M-Scope design prevents that from happening. When the battery voltage gets too low, [i.e. < 11 Volts ], the LCD announces “Low Battery Alarm” along with the batteries’ voltage level and the time remaining before the unit shuts itself down. No matter how completely discharged the batteries are, the M-Scope will work properly as long as the battery charger is connected.

The battery charger/power supply will fully charge both M-Scope batteries while in use.

Charging time is approximately 24 hours.

M-Scope batteries can also be fully charged and maintained while in storage by using the battery charger/power supply with the optional Y cable assembly (PIN# 1508957). Charging while in storage takes approximately 8 hours.

Outside Interference

If one or more of the M-Scope’s panels are not ready to detect targets, it could be due to outside interference. A panel not ready to detect is indicated by the zone indicator LED glowing red, and the ready LEDs on the entrance and exit sides of the M-Scope control panel glowing red. The unit will then be ready to detect targets when the panel and ready LEDs turn green. This should only take a few seconds.

If the M-Scope is set up in an area where interference occurs, the unit may not function properly. Try moving the unit to an area where the panel and ready LEDs glow green, and there is an acceptable level of ambient signal as indicated by the LED bargraph.

The M-Scope should only be used by persons trained and who have a thorough understanding of its operation. If the user of a M-Scope does not follow the operating manual and if the M-Scope is not set up properly it can allow metal objects to pass through undetected.

Some objects may not be detected because of their composition, size and location on the subject. If an undetected object passes through the M-Scope that object may be used as a weapon in a secure area to cause injury or death.

BASIC START UP OPERATION

STEP

1

Turn the unit on by momentarily pushing the on/off

[numeral 0] button on the control panel keypad. The unit will power up and begin a self diagnostic check.

Ideas by Fisher

Battery 13.4

STEP

2

The LCD will display the Title Screen and the battery voltage during the self-check. The unit will check its seven LED lights on the LED bar graph one at a time, starting with the first (lowest) green one, through the yellow ones all the way up to the last (highest) red one, then back down to the first green one again. After this check is completed, the bar graph display will enter its normal mode, continuously indicating the strength of the received signal it is measuring. Some of this signal may be a representation of various types of electromagnetic noise, and interference.

During the self check, the multi-colored, triple zone, alarm indicator LEDs as well as the two multi-colored ready indicator LEDs, will glow red momentarily. Once the self check ends satisfactorily, they will all change to green.

When the M-Scope passes its self check successfully,

the unit becomes ready to detect targets.

The user selections will be described elsewhere in this document under the Advanced Functions heading.

Most often, the operator will simply turn the unit on, and use the settings already stored in memory. For first time use, the unit will be set at the Factory Preset setting corresponding to numeral 6/high sensitivity level (for more information — see “Presets” pg.16).Note that these

settings may not be appropriate for an operators unique environment and specific security requirements. A thorough understanding of the M-Scopes operation, and most notably, sensitivity settings, is required for effective, accurate metal detection.

The M-Scope is Multi Language Capable:

To change languages: From a fresh start (the Mscope turned off)

1. Press the on button (0) and then rapidly press the down-arrow button and then the up-arrow button.

(This sequence will bring the unit into the first screen of the diagnostics mode.)

Pressing the 0 button again will bring the unit into the main screen of the diagnostics mode. While in this screen:

Pressing the number 1 button will change the menu into English / Pressing the number 2 button will change the menu into German.

Pressing the number 3 button will change the menu into French / Pressing the number 4 button will change the menu into Spanish.

After selecting the desired language pressing the 0 button will change the unit into the normal operating menus.

The M-scope is the normal operating mode at this time.

When the Mscope is shut down the language and other selected options are saved to memory.

DETECTION AND ALARMS

Sensing Subjects in the M-Scope

The metal detection alarm decision-making process begins the moment a subject breaks any one of the six invisible beams of infrared light inside the M-Scope’s passageway; typically one of the three beams at the portal’s entrance. Note that the LED bar graph continuously

displays the received signal’s strength, but the alarm will not be triggered until something enters the security gate and passes through one of the sensors’ light paths.

Going too Fast

Once the M-Scope detects something in the passageway, it begins measuring the elapsed time between when the first beam is crossed upon entering the passageway, and when the second beam is crossed upon exiting the passageway. The measurement of the time it takes for a subject to pass through the gate tells the system how fast the subject was going through the passageway. If the subject exceeds the M-Scope’s selected speed limit; the LCD displays “Speed Violation!”, the audio alert sounds, the zone lights flash red, and the bar graph and ready LEDs flash several times. These events get logged in the system’s internal counters. (for more information — see “Rate Alarm Menu” pg.14)

Going too Slow

If any of the six light beams remains blocked for more than a few seconds, the unit goes into the Photo Detector Blocked alarm mode, featuring red zone and ready indicator

LEDs, sounding audio alert, and a special LCD screen, displaying the words “Photo Diode

Blocked!” along with a graphic display consisting of six circles arranged as three pairs, corresponding to the three pairs of infrared LED and Photodiode sensors. Each individual circle’s interior will either be blank, partially filled in, or entirely filled in, indicating whether the corresponding Photo Detector sensor channel is getting zero signal, a partial signal, or a full strength signal. This feature can be very useful when troubleshooting the

unit.

The LED bar graph also indicates which of the six ‘electric eye’ Photo Detector channels are working properly and which are not, by flashing:

• LED1 if the top light beam on the exit side is blocked

• LED2 flashes when the middle beam on the exit side is blocked

• LED3 flashes if the bottom beam on the exit side is blocked

• LEDs 5,6,7 correspond to the top, middle, and bottom light sensor channels on the entrance side. These LEDs glow steadily (without flashing) to indicate good

Photo

Detector channels in this alarm mode.

Finding Metal Targets Without Speed Violations

While the portal is occupied, the zone lights stay green, the status light glows yellow, and the ready lights glow red. The LED bar graph reflects the received signal strength actively.

If none of the three zones received a target signal strong enough to exceed the current alarm threshold, the zone and ready lights will turn green again when the subject comes out. This event, like all the other events, will be logged automatically, and the M-Scope will be ready to scan the next subject.
