    Whites SPP Adding Conductivity switch

    Issue solved. Thanks to Geotech's advice on another forum, the black and grey wires were swapped around and all works well now and most definitely a considerable improvement. Regards, Rog

    Whites SPP Adding Conductivity switch

    The technician soldered the cable to the toggle switch for conductivity and added the connector. I made a hole in a different position than previously mentioned due to space and mounted it. It works great and a plus, if accidently knocked by winter clothing, its stays put due to the mechanism...

    Whites SPP Adding Conductivity switch

    Great advice, thank you. I have already done some practices and am awaiting a different drill bit to also experiment with. I collected the assembled switch to wires to connector today and discussed with the technician swapping out the threshold and ground balance pots to 10 turn ones in near...

    Whites SPP Adding Conductivity switch

    Well thanks so much for that. Sometimes we don't see the wood for the trees. I had taken the box off the handle mount the other day, but still I had not noticed the location you have indicated. Lo and behold, on the BeachHunter has the same location I would guess for such a purpose. The switch...

    Waterproof cover for Whites TDI SL

    grubstake, I'm glad I didn't try to add pictures and thank you for the info'. XLOOX, I have somewhere a piece of clear plastic that came off a child's pushchair. The idea that everything needs covering makes a lot of sense. I will put my thinking cap on. Regards, Rog

    Whites SPP Adding Conductivity switch

    Well I plucked up the courage to open the box but was unable to unscrew the outside nut to dismount it for a clearer view. I did manage to take one clear picture of one side, but failed on the other. I will add both though. I have phoned RS Online in UK and described the stamps but that didn't...

    Whites SPP Adding Conductivity switch

    The schematic is probably not available and I doubt Garretts would provide a copy as they now own the right to it. I have not found the opening description and pictures. I have no confidence in taking things like detectors apart. Once I get the bits, I will be paying someone to solder the 3...

    Whites SPP Adding Conductivity switch

    Thank you both, I am a step nearer as I have now learnt the differences in the two types of switches. I own the SL so I am accustomed to the switch's use. I will look again at the site to see if I can determine which one may be suitable; but if anyone can suggest a suuitable one I would be...

    Whites SPP Adding Conductivity switch

    I have read this and wish to add a conductivity switch to my TDI BeachHunter. I have identified the cables with crimps 820-1393 and plug 752-1737 on https://uk.rs-online.com but I am unsure as to which switch I should order. I see (On) Off (On) and On Off On which has added to my confusion and...
