ASSEMBLING YOUR DETECTOR
1. On the lower rod assembly, remove the mounting screw and thumb nut
from the rod tip.
2. Insert the rod tip between the mounting ears of the search coil and align
the holes of the rod tip and washers with those of the mounting ears.
3. Insert the mounting screw through the holes in the mounting ears and rod
tip.
4. Install the thumb nut on the mounting screw and tighten by hand.
Note: Tighten the thumb nut after you have assembled the whole handling
and adjusted the search coil in working position toward the ground.
5. Slide the lower rod into the middle rod until the snap button clicks into the
first adjustment hole.
Note: The tightening of the locking ring should be done after you have
assembled the whole handling and when you have adjusted the working
length of the handling.
6. Press the snap button of the upper rod assemble (S-rod) and slide the
upper rod into the other locking ring of the middle rod assembly until the snap
button clicks into the hole locking the two assemblies into place. Tighten the
rod lock to secure the two assemblies together.
7. Wrap the cable around the rod leaving
enough slack near the searchcoil to permit
searchcoil adjustment.
Note: Do not allow the cable to flop loosely
over the searchcoil. Since the detector is
sensitive enough to see the tiny wires in the
cable, a floppy cable can cause false signals
as the searchcoil senses the moving wires. To
secure the coil cable from unwrapping you
should fix it to the lower and to the upper end
of the handling with the two cable retainers.
