Refer
to
Pictorial 10-1 for
the
following
steps.
(
)
Cut a
2'
length of shielded cable (not supplied). Remove
1"
of
the outer
insulation from each cable end. Tightly
twist
the
shield lead
at
each cable
end and
apply a small amount of solder
to
hold the small strands
together.
If
necessary, twist the center conductor strands
together
and
apply solder
to
hold them together.
{
)
Cut a
13"
length of hookup wire and form it into four loops
as
shown.
Remove
1/4"
of
insulation
from
each wire
end. Then solder one end of the
wire to the inner lead
of
the coaxial
cable
(S-1 )
and the other end of the
wire
to
the shield lead of the cable
{S-1
).
NOTE: You may use any suitable link, either loop or coil, as a
pickup element
on the
opposite end of the coaxial cable. The following step
is one method of
forming
the
pickup element.
( )
Cut
a
10"
length of wire. Form three
loops in
the
center of the wire as
shown in the Pictorial. Remove
1/4"
of insulation from each wire end. As
in the previous step, connect the wire ends to
the inner and shield leads of
the free end of the coaxial cable.
This completes the step-by-step assembly of your
Solid-State Dip Meter.
