tvr Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 I'd like to see replaceable O ring seals on the pot shafts too. Seems to currently be some sort of thin plastic washer that doesn't give me much confidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bklein Posted December 16, 2022 Author Share Posted December 16, 2022 My detector was repaired and is on its way back to me! No word of cost so I'm not complaining! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slimpickuns Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 Did they mention what they repaired or replaced? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bklein Posted December 17, 2022 Author Share Posted December 17, 2022 They fixed the Delay switch at a minimum. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bklein Posted December 19, 2022 Author Share Posted December 19, 2022 I received my detector and they didn’t find any wrong with it - NTF. They watched my videos of testing the delay switch. Oh well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bklein Posted December 24, 2022 Author Share Posted December 24, 2022 I tried my detector with the stock battery pack, which I had charged last week. I was still only getting about 11” on a nickel. I checked the battery voltage though and it is 14.1V. The OBN pack is 14.77V. Could you guys advise if you can get 16” on a nickel and if so what your battery voltage is?

stateguy Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 bklein I am getting 16v on one other 15.??v on the other. as you know and everyone else I am only getting 13 in on a nickel. Super Faint. Merry Christmas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stateguy Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 Just so you know mine is done on air test. also Factory batteries. How did you wrap your detector for shipping ( what did you take off and what did you send to them). I assume no battery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bklein Posted December 25, 2022 Author Share Posted December 25, 2022 Here is a 1 amp discharge graph I took of the stock battery right after charging it. It starts out close to 16.5 volts but drops to 15.5 volts or so right as load is applied and runs most of the duration around 12.5volts. The detector would have to have a boost converter to maintain TX source voltage at 15V. I need to make up a test cable attached to a bench supply to test the detector voltage range and behavior. As far as sending the unit I left out the coil shaft and battery per their instructions. They send the unit back in an elaborate cardboard structure inside the box (see photo). Shipping cost is highly dependent on the box size so try for compact if you can. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
