ASSEMBLY FOR UNDERWATER USE
- Attach the electronics housing to the underwater PVC handle as-
sembly using the (2) 10-32x1 1/4" thumbscrews with washers.
- Neatly wind the coil wire around the bottom part of the handle
shaft.
- Attach the coil to the forked end of the shaft using the 3/8"-16 black
nylon bolt and wing nut.
NOTE: If you purchased the optional “underwater connector on
coil wire” (it is black hard plastic), the coil wire can be removed
from the case by turning the knurled ring, on the connector, coun-
terclockwise a half turn and pulling the connector straight out. Be
sure you do not lose the O-ring which is inside the male half of the
connector. The O-ring size is 3/8" ID x 1/16".
The PULSE 8X is now ready for operation in the standard underwater
configuration.

BATTERY CHARGERS
The chargers (120vac or 12vdc) connect to the charger connector
on back of the PULSE 8X housing. Charge current will be 120-130
mA. 12-14 hours charging time is required to completely recharge low
batteries. The charge LED on the faceplate will illuminate while the
charging is taking place (when charging from a 12v battery, the light may
dim or go out as the batteries near full charge). Do not leave the charger
continuously charging the batteries (for many days). This can shorten
the battery life. Charged batteries will power the detector for 9-10 hours.
The batteries should be completely discharged at least once a year before
fully recharging; this gets rid of any “battery memory”.
CHARGER OPERATING PROCEDURES
- Select charger to be used, 120vac or 12vdc.
- Wipe off charger connection on back of PULSE 8X housing.
- Attach charger connector on connector on back of housing. Do
not over tighten, just snug will do.
- Turn selection switch to OFF.
- Connect input power to charger
Note: If using 12V battery as input; connect red clip to terminal
(+) terminal on battery.
- Charge LED on faceplate will be illuminated while charging
is taking place.
- When fully charged, the battery will provide 9-10 hours of con-
tinuous use. The battery requires 12-14 hours to fully recharge.
The batteries cannot be overcharged.
- DO NOT USE ANY CHARGER OTHER THAN THE ONE PRO-
VIDED.

lift the coil off the ground as high as possible while still detecting the
target. Due to the bowl shaped detection pattern, the greatest reading
will occur when the target is directly below the center of the coil.
NOTE: You may need to use LO and MED sensitivity settings
for pinpointing most objects. When sensitivity settings are
changed, the Zero Adjust knob must be moved to position the
needle between .1 and .2.
NOTE: When the coil wire is wrapped around the handle shaft no
strain should be placed on the wire where it attaches to the connector.
Sufficient slack should be left in the wire to create relief at the connec-
tor. If the wire is wrapped right it will pull on the connector causing a
leak into the connector.
