Assembling the Detector
Assembling your detector is easy and requires no special tools. Just follow these steps:
1. Remove the fixation system of the search coil (nut and bolt system). Insert the stem and align the holes on the
search coil bracket and the stem. Push the bolt through the holes and tighten with the nut knob.
CAUTION: Do not tighten the search coil fixation too hard. Do not use tools such as pliers to tighten it.
2. Insert the arm support into the end of the stem and tighten the lock screw at the back of the control housing.
3. Turn the stem’s lock nut clockwise until it loosens.
4. Adjust the stem length to have the search coil level with and about ½” to 2” above the ground when you stand
upright with the detector in your hand, your arm relaxed at your side.
5. Turn the stem’s lock nut counter-clockwise to lock it in place.
6. Wind the search coil cable around the stem. Leave enough slack in the cable. Insert the search coil’s plug into
the search coil jack on the detector’s control housing.
CAUTION: The search coil’s plug fits into the jack only one way. Do not force the plug or you could damage it.
7. Loosen the search coil fixation knob, adjust the search coil to the desired angle and tighten the nut knob.
