[QUOTE="Greenhornet_au, post: 302800, member: 8767"] I am not sure if this is the correct area for this topic move it if needed please. I have a large coil for my ACE 250 that has given me intermittent loss of signal, I suspect the cable but dont know which end to consider approaching. Apart from a continuity test by opening the coil end of the wire and checking back to the plug. So when this happens, if I bump the coil onto the ground the ACE 250 gives off a 'ding' sound, doesnt do this normally. I know its a coil / cable issue because I have another NEW large coil that is running fine after the change over. The old coil has a small chip in the epoxy so the plastic housing is not sealed now where the windings are. Can some one tell me the impedance for the large coil ? also the pin out config for the plug ? OR if they have had the same problem and how it may be fixed ? I have the tools to do the testing and the work but never worked upon these things and dont really want to trash a coil just for a look see. But if I stuff it, its not a huge deal and I will learn something from the event. [url]http://metaldetectingforum.com/showthread.php?p=445429[/url] [/QUOTE]
