OPERATING MANUAL CW20™ Hand-Held Metal Detector

Product Overview

The Fisher CW20 is a hand-held metal detector designed for security screening and general metal detection. It features a comfortable grip, multiple detection alerts, and interference elimination capabilities.

Detector Features

1. 1. Quick-Change Battery Compartment

   Use a coin or screwdriver to open the compartment. Insert the circular cam lock and twist to secure in closed position.

2. 2. All Metal Detection

   Detects all types of metals. Will not detect non-metallic objects or weapons that do not contain metal.

3. 3. Momentary Low Detection

   While holding down the "Momentary Low" switch, the detection range will be reduced.

   • Very small metal objects, such as the metal rivets sewn into clothing, will not be detected beyond a range of one inch from the object.
   • Large environmental metal objects, such as the metal reinforcing bars in floors, will not be detected beyond a range of several inches.

   Upon release of the "Momentary Low" switch, the detector will return to Normal Operation.

4. 4. Silent Operation

   Position the Silent/Audio switch in the "Silent/Vibrate" position:

   • The detector will NOT emit the High-Pitch tone upon the detection of metal objects.
   • The vibrator will activate upon the detection of a metal object, and the "Target" LED indicator will illuminate.

5. 5. Operating Frequency Selection

   Choose from two alternate operating frequencies in the event of electromagnetic interference from other electronic devices.

6. 6. Low Battery Indication

   When the battery needs to be replaced, the Low Battery LED will illuminate.

7. 7. Visual Target Response

   Red LED flashes when a metal object is located.

8. 8. Comfort Hand Grip

   Designed for comfortable use.

Operation

Body Scanning for the Detection of Metal Objects

Always test the detector before operation. Sweep the detector across a known metal object, and verify detection with audio, vibratory, and visual feedback.

Motion is Required: The metal detector must be IN MOTION, sweeping across the target area, to detect the presence of metal.

The subject should stand upright, with arms and legs extended.

Sweep the detector over the subject, with a smooth, even motion, about one inch from the body. Avoid making physical contact between the subject and the detector.

Press and hold the "Momentary Low" switch to eliminate interference from the metal bars in floors, or from very small metal objects, such as rivets or zippers sewn into clothing.

CAUTION: Use in the MOMENTARY LOW mode will desensitize the detector. Use the Momentary Low switch only after the detection of metal, and the verification of the absence of a larger metal object.

Scanning Personnel in security situations should be properly trained and supervised. This detector will not detect non-metallic objects.

First Time Operation

To Operate the Detector:

1. 1) Install the Battery

   • Use a 9-volt ALKALINE battery only (included).
   • Install battery with correct polarity (align "+" on detector housing with "+" on battery).
   • The battery cover opens and closes with a coin or screwdriver.

2. 2) Set the On switch to "ON"

   "ON" is the middle position.

3. 3) Select Audio or Vibrate Mode

   Choose between ? Audio Alert (High Pitch Sound) or ? Vibration Alert.

4. 4) Sweep the Detector over the target area.

   Detector must be IN MOTION to detect metal.

5. 5) Read this manual for proper training in the detection of metal objects.

Power Switch with Momentary Low

The Power switch has 2 "ON" positions and a forward "OFF" position.

• The detector is OFF with the switch in the "UP" position.
• The detector is ON with the switch in the "MIDDLE" position.
• The detector is in MOMENTARY LOW operation with the switch held in the "DOWN" position.

While holding down the "Momentary Low" switch, the detection range will be reduced. Upon release, the detector will return to Normal Operation.

LED Indicators

• The GREEN light indicates that the detector is ON.
• The YELLOW light indicates LOW BATTERY ??.
• The RED light indicates the detection of a metal object.

Batteries

Use 9-Volt ALKALINE battery only (included).

Low Battery Alert

The Yellow LED indicator light will illuminate and remain illuminated before the batteries are discharged to the point at which the detector has lost any of its metal detecting range. In order to guarantee maximum detection at all times, replace battery as soon as yellow light illuminates. The detector will continue to operate, at a lower sensitivity, after the Low Battery Indicator is illuminated. Replace batteries as soon as possible after the indicator illuminates.

If you plan to store the CW20™ for several days or more, remove the battery.
