Thanks
just goto send off for board from silverdog friday

after i have disconnected the original plug from the coil cable i see what you mean

the wires at the coil cable and the wires at the box plug have different wire colors

so link it likes this

coil wires to wires from connection at box

grey to white
nothing to black
purple to green
orange to red
shield to shield (center bare wire)

in the box i have connected black and shield if it makes sense or not ?- equal it works

tested it because i removed original plug and replaced it with 5pin microphone plug/connector
and it works

ok pictures can say more than thousand words..... sometimes

hope i can help with them

for those who dont like pics

white rx1
green rx2

bare (naked center wire)
togehter with black tx2

red tx1

What is the right way to wire up a tesoro coil
I have orange grey purple green and 2bare wires the coil is a 5 pin widescan

Here's the diagram ->
The dotted screen connection is made inside the search head.
Sometimes the colors are different. and I suspect your green wire is the same as the orange one below. Often there is a spare wire in the cable that is unused.

Can anyone give me info which resistor value i should use for volume control on tgsl.
Want to place it in row with +line of audio out to headphone connector plug.

thx

Ok, if nobody answers i do it myself.

the TGSL works great, but i have ordered a 9*8 5pin web coil (original).
I´m not able and i have not the time to make a good working diy coil at the moment.

The disc is working PERFECT.

I can tune the disc so that it shows a 1 euro coin besides a bottle cap in a distance round 30cm. It is posssible to find a small alu foil piece or disc it out, i can differ between iron, alu, brass etc.

just great

If i had more time in future i will try a new diy coil.

OR somebody on forums sells them in future?

but now its time for field testing all my new detectors

hello selim
is it necessary to put in in a metal case and link the shield with it
can that be my mistake - that i dont connect any shield to a metal housing

selims tgsl coil

hello selim
you write your coil specs are
25cm coil
rx:14mH 38ohm
tx:6mH 23ohm

how many turns did you take for your RX (maybe 160) and which wire diameter is it?
Are there any changes on your pcb for the higher resitance of the RX?

Are there any others who tried to raise the RX inductance to more than double of TX.
Or did my coil not work so good because i have not shielded it for testing.

greetings bernte

Just finished the main unit half an hour before

hope it can be an idea for others

TGSL runs since two days

but the coil making is horrible - got only 20cm for 1€ with my bad produced coil but Disc works ok.
Not so easy like Pi coils.
Next try coming weekend.

i don`t want to buy an origianl coil it should all be selfmade but if anyone in europe can make better coils than me i would buy a one for check and compare with mine.

greetings

the tx and rx points

ok i think it should be the right points
its better to take a look to shematic
TX2-TX Finish, TX1-TX Start, RX1-RX Finish,RX2-RX Start

[bernte_one]

You have attached a picture with the wires , hope its correct.

thanks,

i should take a look at the circuit diagramm
must identify tx j1-1, tx j1-2 and rx j2-1, rx j2-2
