Setting UP

The 1225-X comes to you just about ready to use. The only adjustment required is the angle of the search coil. Take a look at Figure 1 and familiarize yourself with the parts of the 1225-X before proceeding.

1.Unpack your new 1225-X carefully. Save the carton and inserts they may come in handy in the future for storage or shipment.

2.Slip the lower stem into the upper stem.

3.Adjust the stem length (using the locknut) and the coil angle (using the nylon wing nut) so that the search coil rests ﬂat on the ground about 6 inches in front and slightly to the right of your right foot (to the left of your left of your left foot for left handers).

Your arm should be straight and relaxed, the grip held loosely.

REMEMBER: The longer the shaft, the more you will have to bend your elbow and the sooner your arm will get tired. The 1225-X is balanced for comfortable searching in a tight semicircle around the front of the operator.

4.With the stem length properly adjusted, wind the cable loosely around the upper and lower stems and connect the cable connector to the control housing.

CAUTION: Make sure that the cable is not pulled tight at the control housing and that you have enough slack at the search coil to adjust it to any angle.

5.With the shaft length and coil angle properly adjusted, you should be able to move into your “search” position by leaning forward very slightly and raising your arm (still straight) until the search coil is about 1 inch above the ground and 12 inches in front of your foot. The search coil should be parallel to the ground and may have to be slightly readjusted at this point.
