So I went out with the Impact to try to get to the bottom of why my machine is unusable with the IM40 (15" x 14") coil.
It turns out it's unusable with all 3 of my coils.
Symptoms regardless of coil used:
What I've done:
I can only come to the conclusion that the machine is faulty after light use over the past 4 months. Anyone know a contact at Nokta I can get in touch with?
It turns out it's unusable with all 3 of my coils.
Symptoms regardless of coil used:
- Falsing
- Chirping
- Wildly fluctuating VDI's
- Intermittent cutting out with two dashes on the display (Goes silent, no signal even when swept over my stainless steel shovel which is normally enough to overload)
- Holding the coil in the air and gently wiggling it also causes the falsing and chirping.
- Changing programs produce the same results
What I've done:
- Factory reset
- Tried new throwaway batteries
- Tried fully recharged Varta batteries (Came with the pro pack)
- Checked coils are connected properly (Pretty much impossible to connect them incorrectly)
- Ground balance has no effect
- Frequency shift has no effect
- Lowering gain has no effect
- Increasing Disc has no effect
- Changing frequency has no effect
- Updated the machine to the latest software, no change
