8. Assembling and disassembling of the metal detector
The metal detector BLISSTOOL LTC64X is assembled in the following sequence:
1.
The upper part of the lower connecting rod is attached to the lower part of intermediate
connecting rod via the small fixing ring, and adjusted at the appropriate length.
It is recommended that the mounting of the lower connecting rod to the intermediate
connecting rod should be carried out, following the sequence below:
- the small fixing ring has to be unscrewed loose from the intermediate connecting rod and put
on the lower connecting rod;
- the lower connecting rod is inserted in the intermediate connecting rod at the appropriate
length;
- the small fixing ring is tightened until it is fixed.
2.
The upper part of the intermediate connecting rod is attached to the carrier rod via the
large fixing ring, and adjusted at the appropriate height.
It is recommended that the mounting of the intermediate connecting rod to the carrier rod
should be carried out, following the sequence below:
- the large fixing ring has to be unscrewed loose from the carrier rod and put on the
intermediate connecting rod;
- the intermediate connecting rod is inserted in the carrier rod at the appropriate length;
- the large fixing ring is tightened until it is fixed.
3.
The search coil has to be adjusted horizontally against the ground surface, while the user is
in an upright (working) position and is holding the metal detector by the handle.
This adjustment is possible, if the plastic bolt and nut used for assembling the search coil with
the lower connecting rod are not tightly fastened.
4.
The connecting shielded cable of the search coil is winded evenly and spirally up the lower
connecting rod, the intermediate connecting rod and the carrier rod up to the handle, provides
advance of the cable around the handle, as finally, the end connector of the cable is plugged in
and tightened on the connector COIL that lies on the back panel of the electronic block. The
plugging in and out of the cable connector is done while the metal detector is switched off
(VOLUME potentiometer is turned in "OFF" position (Fig.4)). Тhe cable is fixed through patches
type velcro included in the standard package.
The cable, at its lower end near the search coil, has to be slightly loose, so that it is not damaged
when the search coil has been bent against the lower connecting rod, for example when search or
when the device is folded for carrying and transporting.
IMPORTANT: The cable of the BLISSTOOL search coil is double shielded against electromagnetic
interferences. The cord length is about 1.6 meters, which combined with its twin aluminum screen,
makes it heavy. In this regard, in order to eliminate false signals and prevent damage of the
connector on the cable and of connector COIL, is necessarily, the shielded connecting cable of the
search coil to be wound tight spiral with a pitch about 12 cm along the length of the supporting
structure up to the handle and to be fixed to the supporting structure of the metal detector, a total of
three places: under the handle, over the handle and at the base of the lower connecting rod.
For fixing of the shielded connecting cable of the search coil, are used the included in the standard
package locking tape type Velcro.
The correct winding and fixing of the cable is shown in Fig.3 available below.
The purpose of winding of the cable tight spiral with a pitch about 12 cm along the length of the
supporting structure up to the handle, is the cable to be fixed during the search with the metal
detector.
If the cable is loose and moves during the search, this will generate false signals, since the metal
detector will detect the cable moving towards the search coil (more precisely its metal aluminum
screens).
For the same reason, after winding, the cable must be fixed at three places with Velcro patches:
fixation in the base of the lower connecting rod, to ensure the advance of the cable provided after
