4.3 Assembling the optional 150 cm x 150 cm Search Coil
To assemble the 150 cm x 150 cm (5' x 5') search coil first unpack all of the components and lay them on
the ground with the wire up and the clips up.
First assemble the corners of the search coil before assembling it completely.
In illustration 4.8 you will simply insert the connectors together to complete the assembly as shown in
illustration 4.9. Be sure to feed the extra wire through the corners so they allow for the construction of
the frame.
When assembling the 150 cm x 150 cm search coil pull the extra cable and take out the slack, the extra
cable is there so that the unit can be folded together. After all of the corners are assembled create a loop
or twist in the cable and insert the extra cable into the straight pieces (see illustration 4.10). Complete
the assembly of the straight pieces (see illustration 4.11).
