Help for Anker SS60

[Geo]

Yes, i would like to make one too. I am tempted to try it, cose you posted so good experiences with it. If i consider it only academic, i think (as posted few times before) that it has too mush power at TX to work stabile,without falses.
But hey! It is not fair from me to talk empty talks, without checking it first!
Only reason i didnt done it so far is that i dont have pcb draw for it....
The hell, i made so much projects by now, no harm done if i spend few more days to make this one. So if you post pcb i will make it for sure...Than we can talk here more fairly...
Regards!

Hi Ivica
SS60 has some problems to build it (i am sure that you will do it).
1st the pcb as you wrote (i made it on a general purpose pcb..... difficult work)
2nd It needs a good 2 trace scope to calibrate the phase shift (don't work otherwise)
If the ground has stones then we have reflected signals (false), but at soft ground must be very good. If you detect with TGS a 2euro at 40cm then the difference is not so big. I didn't constructed a good coil as designer said so the detection distance is not the maximum. I detect a 2euro on the air at a distance 42....45cm (not 60) with the 32cm coil.
Anyway is a good reason to build it if you have a lot of free time

Hi Geo,
only field tests are good... I saw coin detection at half meter and more on some detectors in the air... but then on the ground they aren't any good... just average stuff... both VLFs and PIs.

In air tests are good to see if detector have sensitivity ...of course a detector that has 15cm sens on 1eur will never find it on real soil at 20cm.
But also when you see a detector sound with same 1eur at 30cm in air then that doesn't automatically mean it actually will find the same 1eur at 30 (in worse cases even at 20) cms underground.

Too many variables to take into account... so you cannot say anything before testing on real soil.

Anker SS60 hasn't the GEB control... and this seems to me a big limitation if soil isn't totally neutral... and that happens so rarely that maybe is 2-3% of places you can use that stuff.

You need compare stuff on real soil... and for that purpose also a small test garden is enough.

When I cannot test on searchfields directly I use a small test garden I've prepared just for this...and tests are effective also for other soils.

Best regards,
Max

Hi Max.
As i wrote to you at another thread SS60 has a trimmer to regulate the GEB (about the same with TGS). But if you turn it full then maybe to destroy the discrimination calibrate.
I know that the best test is at the field but i made it on 2 general purpose pcb so it is not easy to put it inside a box and to go for test. I dont like to make a box only for the test.
At my garden there are a lot of nails so it is not easy to make a test

Hi GEO
What Was you use instead Of Russian ICS ?

For these :
DA1: osc IC
DA2: RX preamp.
DA3:shifter

Look at the schematic that i have attached here

Hi Geo.
What about a pcb draw?

I have not pcb draw.
I made it on 2 general purpose pcbs (ready with holes)

Hi GEO
Thank you.

there exist an antagonism between Anker and Ciklon on concept of IB schematic. you must know it and clearly be aware.

but Ciklon's GROZA-3 (and 4) is more progressive schematic. it has not less sensitivity than SS-60

Hi KT315
Please more explain about tunder .
Are you built it?
My target building metal detector that can be working in deep
With good stability.
Anker ss60 had good test in air .what is tunder sensitivity in seem
Condition against anker ss60?

I also waiting for your reply yet.

Hi Geo.
Can you post parts lists replacement for SS-60, cause i cant find the parts show on the schematics (Rusian i belive)

I also working on a pcb for SS-60, so when i get it ready i ll post it to share it.

Hi. I finished Anker SS-60. I connected a coil that i have from an china detector to the oscilator and i tried the generator. Generator and power suply worked fine. But i must try all the detector. Anker gave me the turns for the coil at 39 cm diameter. May anyone to tell me where i can find a coil housing for a coil 39 cm ????? I don't like to make a coil 10in only for the test of SS-60. Or do you have a easy way to build a coil housing ??

Hi Nelson.
Look at the schematic that i have attached here at this page.I have replaced all the russian components with european. If any problem, write me.

Ok and thanks Geo

Hi nelson
What time your PCB will be complete and come here?

Hi really dont know how much time it´s gone to take me, but when it gets ready, i ll post it here.

Hi nelson
Is it single layer?

[nelson]

YES , WITH MAY BE A FEW JUMPERS ON IT.
