Recommended Posts

Hello all.

 

I had a problem with my locator giving the wrong readings etc etc..I know at their best they they are slightly over exagerated on the readings,but mine was 6 foot out..Anyway i took it apart before Isent it and discovered the ariel section,which is just a big magnet was broken in 2.

I sent it back on weds afternoon and recieved it back this morning..works spot on now..cost me £35 for repair and £5 postage.

Very good service from Deben.

 

It was hard to see the damage as the magnet was still in place but I just noticed it was cracked at 1st until I looked closer..So chaps if yours is out of warrenty and giving wrong readings etc etc..this could be the problem.

Deben even sent me back the damaged part so I could show you all what to look for in your own devices.

I reckon the two adjusting screws that are marked in the red circles below are used for calibrating the locator but i'm only guessing so PLEASE DON'T GO MESSING AROUND WITH THEM JUST IN CASE I'M WRONG AND I GET LOADS OF PMS SAYING I'VE MESSED UP YOUR LOCATOR. Can anyone put us in the right direction if this is correct.
