Well, after a lot of changing and farting around the wireless battery system is now available. Photos updated with new labels 08 Feb 2010...
Hi All, I wish to apologise to all those that have sent me and asked me questions over the last 6 weeks. As some of you know I have moved back to Perth and sold my House in Dally. All this culminated into an on running disaster for me.... First finding a rental in Perth was a nightmare and then I had to accept the first thing that came along. To that end I had to build a workshop!! That is completed but due to the lack of Air Con and being extremely hot this has slowed my work load tremendously only being able to function in the cooler times and at night. To add to that Xmas and New Year Holidays, plus after getting back to the big smoke my internet has slowed, I have lost the phone and internet 3 times for more that a day at a time and 3 days once! Had 3 power failures and the list just goes on and on and on.... This all in the first 2 weeks and I have only been here 3.5 now! Really made a mistake leaving the bush!! Anyway I hope to get on top of everything in the next week, so if all stays calm I will be back in full shortly. Also I know this is belated but was beyond my control, I wish everyone a Belated Merry Xmas and hope that you all have a very prosperous and healthy New Year. Ismael.
Hi All, sorry for the lack of updates and replies but see above article for details!! Okay this is the first of the units (prototype if you like). The release version will be the same except it will have slide switches and not toggle (Maybe!!). I have tested the unit thoroughly even to point of doing heat stress tests on the system and it has passed with flying colors! IT ran my detector for a straight 10 hours and I then disconnected it and recharged the batteries which takes me no longer than 90 minutes. This charged the battery to the full 8A. The receiver box takes 45-55 minutes (I have to charge that at no more than 1A).
There have been a lot of rumours of Minelab not repairing modded detectors and unfortunately this is true....
The following is the completed circuit diagrams for the SD2000. These are correct as we have tested the circuits and found them to be so. The full PDF is available in the download section to registered users you must be logged in to see the download which is in the Technical Section.
