5.4 COIL ASSEMBLY REPLACEMENT
Removal
When the transducer's top housing is removed, care must be taken to prevent metal chips, dirt, and other
contaminants from entering the coil chamber. These foreign objects can interfere with coil movement and may
change the magnetic field.
Refer to the parts list at the rear of this Instruction and the following procedure.
1. Remove the top housing.
2. Remove the brass clamping plate. It is held by a single screw.
3. Remove the two Teflon washers.
4. Slide the bowed “E” retaining ring off the shaft.
IMPORTANT
Do not bend the center shaft. Support the shaft while removing the retaining ring.
5. Remove the coil assembly by carefully lifting it off the center shaft.
Installation
Refer to the parts list at the rear of this Instruction and the procedure that follows.
IMPORTANT
The coil assembly and coil chamber must be free of metal chips, dirt and corrosion
before installing the coil.
1. Lower the coil assembly onto the center shaft and, at the same time, guide the leaf springs onto the contact
posts
2. Install the bowed “E” retaining ring on the center shaft - bowed center up.
3. Install the Teflon washers (small diameter up), clamping plate, and clamping plate screw. Do not tighten the
screw at this time; it must be loose until the coil is aligned. Refer to the Alignment procedure below.
Alignment
Center the coil so that it does not rub against the transducer housing or the pole piece under the coil. It must also be
positioned so that the leaf springs do not buckle or snap.
Make three cardboard or paper shims 0.012" thick x 1-1/2" long x 3/8"
wide. These can be made from a matchbook cover.
Refer to Figure 5-1 and use the following procedure.
1. If not already accomplished, loosen the spring clamping plate
screw.
2. Insert the shims between the coil and the housing at the points
shown in Figure 5-1. Insert the shims until their ends are flush with
the top surface of the housing. Then, raise the coil to a higher point
on the shims by pulling the center shaft up.
