3.4.6 Connecting the Coil

a. With practice and a pull through tool it is possible to connect the coil to the detector
without opening the detector body.
b. Open the detector body as described in Section
completed:
Remove the shaft and coil from the detector. Section
•
Remove the cover shaft hinge from the shafts. Figure 65.
•
Connect the coil cable pull-through to the coil connector. Alternatively, a piece of string
•
could be used to thread the coil cable into the shafts. Figure 66.
Feed the coil cable pull-through into the coil end of the lower shaft and out through the
•
top (hinge end) of the upper shaft. Feed the coil cable until the coil connector is exposed.
Insert the pin coil cable into the end of the upper shaft so that the pin engages into the
•
turns of the coil cable within the shaft. Turn the pin counter clockwise to lock it into
place. When the coil cable is correctly held in place by the pin the shafts can be extended
and collapsed without the coil connector moving in or out of the shaft hinge. Figure 67.
