[mike k.]

Anyone know the color code hookup to install a Nel coil to an Excalibur ? - thx

Mike, check geotech forum. Try a search before you ask your question. In many cases your answer will already be posted.

It would be nice to get some answers here, too. Most members aren't forum hoppers, I know many will, but I think to get a technical answer here will help the forum to get on.

True, it would be nice, but I've found Geotech is the quickest way to get the answer Mike is looking for. It could be a week or more before someone with the answer sees his question here.

What do we have to work with? Is the NEL coil blunt cut, meaning that no connector is attached, or does it have the connector? Also, an image would be helpful to see if the wires are exposed, are they shielded, or not. Let us know.

BTW, if the connector is attached, there is an image of the Excal board and the SOV connector with a numbering system.

I have a Nel coil for a sovereign . I want to cut the connector off and connect Nel wires to the excalibur coil wires .

That should be easy enough. images were taken from this forum and prolly another.

Before you start cutting things off, and desoldering wires, take pix of what you have.

When you do cut off the connector, leave about an inch of wire on the connector so that you can verify which wire goes to which pin. Then you can cross-reference with the images to double check what you are thinking, to solder to the Excal. Be sure to write little notes of what you are doing.

Triple check by uploading pix to this thread. Someone here might catch a mistake if it's there.

Then you can test and enjoy.

Thanks for the pictures on the wiring as this will help many, me included. with the 8 inch BBS Tornado coil as I replaced the cable that was bad and the cable I got has 3 black wires and one red I believe, so I hope I can figure out which black wire goes where.

I'm still looking for an 8 inch tornado. I know no one will give up a SunRay 8 inch, but I can always hope.

Watch close on the Detech SEF. Black is (1) Grey is (2) the chart says that but many over the years when in the order the colors are shown and not noticing the numbers 1 and 2 are swapped.

Not many SEF coils left in this world...

GOOD EYE! Good eye OBN.

I have a NEL Hunter coil for a sovereign , and I want to connect it to my coil wires on my Excallibur 2 , with the green label .

Best way would be to trim about two inches of the black outer cable covering, ( If they are not color coded) then cut one wire at a time and check the continuity ..pin to the wire you just cut, and label each wire 1 thru 4. The reason, some of those coils, the wires are not color coded or numbered. Also I do believe the pin numbers is on the sovereign fittings up inside. See if i can find one and I'll post a picture.
Wire/Pin # 1 would be red
Pin # 2 would be black,
Pin # 3 would be white,
Pin # 4 would be yellow.
