cable, one near the searchcoil and one near the
padded handle on the “S” rod.
5.
Grip the instrument by the handle, with your
arm in the elbow cup with strap secure, and sweep
the coil over the floor. If the instrument fit feels
uncomfortable, readjust clevis/lower rod length
with the sping clip buttons so that the searchcoil
can be held near the floor without requiring stoop-
ing over.
6. Adjust the elbow cup strap so that it is loose
enough for you to slide your arm in and out with-
out loosening each time you want to set the detec-
tor down. Peel and stick elbow cup foam pads on
the inside of the elbow cup, one on each side.
7. Install batteries as described in the next section.
8. This model can also be worn as a hipmount
simply by removing the control box from the “S”
rod, adjusting the length of cable wound around the
rod, and weaving your belt through the slots on the
bottom of the control box.
9. It should be noted at this point that the detector
may not work as expected indoors due to the high
degree of metals ( nails, pipes, etc.) used in modern
construction and the presence of electrical interfer-
ence. It is best to tune and practice out-of-doors to
ensure stable, predictable results.
10. The Surf Dual Field is designed to respond to
all metal types, no trash metal rejection.
Assembly Instructions
1. Remove all parts from shipping carton and
check the assembly page to make sure all parts are
present. Remove control box from the “S” rod by
compressing both the spring clip buttons on one
side of the rod and pivoting the control box off.
For superior water proofing, the Loop, Head-
phone, and their cables are hard wired (not remov-
able) from the control box, headphone and loop.
The waterproof fitting and strain reliefs on the
cables are torqued to a specific ideal setting and
should not be loosened or tightened. Extra care/ef-
fort must be taken in assembly regarding winding
the cable around the rod.
2. Unlock “S” rod camlock and insert the reduced
end of the center rod into curved “S” rod so that
stainless steel spring clip buttons line up and lock
into the holes in the curved “S” rod. Turn cam-
lock to secure.
3. Fit the rubber washers between clevis/lower
rod and searchcoil ears. Use only non-metallic
washers, fiber bolt, and thumbnut, to secure loop
to clevis/lower rod. Then insert into center rod so
that stainless steel spring buttons line up and lock
into one of the adjustment holes in the center rod.
Turn Camlock to secure.
4. Unravel cable and wind the cable around the
clevis and rod assembly, first revolution should be
OVER the top of the rod with some slack before
applying the cable retainer. This is done so that
the search coil can be paddled backwards toward
the rod without putting a strain on the cable. Wind
cable firmly all the way to the curve in the “S”
rod. Then attach control box to the rod by com-
pressing the two spring clips on the rod aligning
and inserting control box lid bracket. To secure
cable, wrap velcro cable retainers around rod and
