Help Teknetics G2

[PimentoUK]

I can only speculate what is the purpose of these parts ( IC, resistor, capacitors ). Sometimes components are fitted to help calibration or testing of the detector, but they serve no actual function when the detector is used normally.
( The Fisher F2 has two resistors fitted between the demodulated X and R signals, with a test-point on the junction. These resistors could be removed with no effect on the operation. )

One thing you could try is removing all of the "unnecessary" parts from the PCB, and see if the machine then starts working. Do this carefully, as you may need to re-fit them again. Tip: resolder them on one terminal, that way you cannot lose them or mix them up .

My hunch is the missing part could be an analogue switch, single-pole ( like part of a CD4066 ) or a single op-amp. [edited]

wrote to the manufacturer. may answer. it is strange that no one should have such a device.

"It is strange that no one should have such a device."
I an unsure what you mean.
If you are surprised that no-one else replied with an answer, I should point out:

* Your English is poor, many people will not understand your original question.

* Your question is highly technical, about the electronic innards of a detector. People on here USE detectors, they don't build them, repair them, modify them electronically. You should register with the technical Geotech1 Forum, where you might get some response.

*I am sure there are many people on here who own a G2 / F19 / Goldbug Pro / or a clone. But they are not going to dismantle their detector to answer your question, for a multitude of reasons.

There's nothing complicated. 3 bolt. View what is written on U7. Everything is too easy. But thanks for the lead.

People are even less likely to open their machine now, as we have determined that very few machines actually have this part fitted on the PCB. Perhaps only very early models had these mystery components.

Here is another good photo, located here on this forum:
G2 PCB
As you see, the parts are not fitted

An F19 WITH the parts fitted, but hard to read:

Try and work out the pinout of the missing part. Is it connected to the same power supplies as parts U1 and U2, which I think may be op-amps ? Or is it connected to logic voltages, perhaps the same supply as the PIC microcontroller?
Single analog switches normally have a standard pin configuration, for example see here:
single switch SOT23-5

Likewise, op-amps also have a common pinout:
single opamp

amazing photo. but the inscription is invisible. q2 are transistor pumps tx. I found a diagram on the Internet, from tx850. but there is also no u7. wrote wherever possible). Only you help. Thank you very much.

I got an answer on Geotech1. Quote "This is a two-input NOR gate. Probably SN74AHC1G02." similar to the foto

I saw the thread on the Geotech1 forum.
Advice : Try not to argue with Carl, he knows what he is doing.

So I think my earlier advice about removing the two / three capacitors and resistor may be a solution. If it does not work, re-fit them, and purchase the XOR gate IC.
