PREPARATION

ASSEMBLING THE DETECTOR

Assembling the detector is easy and requires no special tools. Just follow
these steps.

1. Unscrew the knobs on the search coil and remove the knobs and
the connector. Insert the smaller stem and align the holes on the

search coil bracket and the stem. Push the connector through the
holes, then replace and tighten the knobs.

2. Loosen the stem’s (connected with the handle) lock nut in the direction

of the arrow. Then insert the smaller stem into the big stem connected
with the handle. Turn the stem’s lock nut in the reverse direction of the
arrow to lock it in place.

3. Insert the latch on the top of the handle into the assembly hole on
the bottom of the control box. Then slightly push the control box in the
direction of IN on the handle to fix the latch in place.

4. Tighten the fixing screw properly.

5. Insert the search coil cable plug into the five pin jack on the back
control box’s housing.

6. Lengthen or shorten the stem, so when you stand upright with the
detector in your hand, the search coil is level with and about 1~5cm

above the ground. After that tighten the lock nut.

Caution:

 The search coil cable plug fits into the connector only one way. Do

not force the plug or you could damage it.

 You don’t need to disassemble the stem lock nut. In case you

disassemble it carelessly, place the washer on the top of the stem
connected with the handle with the small head of the washer
upwards. Then hitch the stem lock nut on the washer then tighten it
to lock it in place.

ADJUSTING THE SEARCH COIL

Loosen the knobs at the search coil’s end, then adjust the search coil to
the desired angle. (The search coil should be parallel with the ground.)
Tighten the knobs just enough to keep the search coil from rotating or
wobbling.
