directions.  the exact center of the metallic object shall be 
determined  by the “null” or minimum signal (FIGURE 12).

 

MAINTENANCE 

Battery life expectancy under normal use exceeds one year.   To 
replace batteries on locators with serial number through 56455, 
remove four brass screws on the edges of both panels; for 
access to battery compartment on locators with serial number 
56456 and higher, back off single screw on battery access door at 
the rear of each instrument until door opens.  Replacement:  12 
each “C” Alkaline Batteries. 

Note:  “C” cell conversion kits are available for older models

SERVICE 

Your  Detectron  Model  505  has  been  carefully  inspected  and  tested.  The  possibility  of  the 
instrument requiring servicing other than battery replacement is extremely remote; however, the 
mechanical design permits a qualified technician to quickly diagnose and correct any malfunction.  
Circuit boards are plug-in type, designed for easy servicing.  For quantity users, we suggest low 
cost replacement circuit boards be carried in stock.  However, they, like all other parts, are readily 
available from factory. 

The DETECTRON MODEL 505 

Carries a Full One Year

WARRANTY

It  is  warranted  to  be  free  from  mechanical  and  electrical  defects  due  to  faulty 
workmanship and materials.  Any locator proven defective under this warranty within one 
year from date of sale to original purchaser will be repaired or replaced free of charge at 
our plan; batteries and transportation charges excepted. 

Manufacturer assumes no responsibility other than to the original purchaser for repairs 
made outside our factory.
