Surf PI Pro

[geoscash1]

Ok that's what I thought, I personally like that audio type better myself and really have a hard time with piezo type buzzing.. if you can get that info I'd be interested as well.. Thanks for the reply..

@sinclairuser, what is the clicker pro? is that another variation of the surf pro pi... When saying clicker I am assuming it is the clicking type audio instead of the
standard piezo type..

Also while I'm in here, what is the best piezo for the surf pro pi? I have tried a few but am not liking the results so far.. attached two of the ones I have tried..

thanks in advance

yes audio like a geiger counter

hello sinclair,

please contact user württemberger
ask him for surf pi clicker and send your email to him
i think he can help you

has any one done a clicker pro schematic from carls original,seen a few surfpi and surf pro, but not clicker pro.

transistor that I can use instead of MPSA13

MPSA14 has worked as a substitution on other detectors audio will be a little louder.

MPSA13 transistor is darlintong.
Replaces BC517 which is also darlintong.

Go to this page then hit equivalent transistors;

BC337 might work

I just finished drawing scheme of "Surf Pi PRO", where I used the original scheme by Carl-NC as a substrate.
I am very pleased that the official version published - thanks Carl!

Drawing scheme I processed so that the thicker lines suitable for printing.
By the way, please quick look at the scheme, how I remove potentially mistake, an oversight. From the original scheme, I threw out part of the "Clicker Pro", which to me was confusing.

Problem solved

remains question with documentation

Is there documentation for this detector like there is for Baracuda and others.
Basics and explanation of work. What component does what.
How to operate detector with his 4 pots. And why delay is not useful to most users.

I am trying to solve problem with not getting startup beep in Surf Pi Pro (SURF XX PCB).
What components are doing that.

Also very low sensitivity problem. Only very strong magnet is detected - close by.
I used all original components that are working in other surf pi pro that I have build
only C5 and C6 220 N are different - replaced both with 330N.

Ajusted R10 so I have +0,49 V measured between GND and pin 6 of 5534.
detector works just fine ... detects metal better
