XP Deus 2 Remote Control Main Body - Genuine DEUS II Replacement Part

The DEUS II remote control main body replacement includes the outer housing shell, lens cover, gasket rings, connector cable, and mounting screws. This kit provides all the external components needed to rebuild your remote's body after damage to the housing. You reuse the internal electronics (circuit board, battery, antenna module) from your existing remote. The gasket rings restore the water-resistant seal between housing halves. For other XP metal detectors parts, check our full accessory catalog.

No, this main body is designed specifically for the XP DEUS II remote control and is not compatible with the original DEUS or ORX remote models. If you own an original DEUS or ORX and need a replacement body, contact XP or an authorized dealer for the correct part number. This body fits only the DEUS II remote control. The DEUS II remote control is a distinct product from earlier XP remote models, and parts are not interchangeable between generations. Always verify compatibility before ordering replacement components.

You need a small Phillips screwdriver to remove the screws from your damaged remote and install the new housing. The replacement body includes all mounting screws and the connector cable, so no additional hardware is required. Work on a clean, flat surface to avoid losing small parts during disassembly. Take care when routing the connector cable through the housing channels to prevent pinching. If you are unsure about the reassembly process, XP's support documentation or an authorized dealer can provide step-by-step guidance.

XP sells the main body as a complete kit that includes the lens, gasket rings, and connector cable. If only your lens is scratched or cracked and the housing is intact, you would still need to purchase this full main body kit to get a replacement lens. The kit is designed as an integrated assembly to ensure proper fit and seal integrity. Contact XP or an authorized dealer if you have questions about which replacement parts are available for your specific repair needs.

The gasket rings create a compression seal between the two halves of the remote control housing, preventing moisture from reaching the internal electronics. When you tighten the mounting screws, the gaskets compress slightly to fill any gaps along the seam. Over time, gaskets can flatten, crack, or lose elasticity from UV exposure and temperature swings, which reduces their sealing ability. Replacing the gaskets with this kit restores the remote's resistance to rain and humidity during hunts. Proper installation of the gasket rings is essential to maintain the protective seal.

Remote control bodies crack from drops onto hard surfaces like rocks, concrete, or gravel, especially when the remote lands on a corner or edge. Repeated impacts during trail hiking or storage in a packed gear bag can stress the plastic until it fractures. Temperature extremes can make the housing brittle, and UV exposure over years weakens the material. Some detectorists experience cracks near the xxxx bosses from over-tightening during reassembly. If you hunt in rugged terrain, consider a protective pouch or lanyard to reduce drop risk.

No, this kit includes only the external housing components: the main body shell, lens, gasket rings, connector cable, and mounting screws. You must transfer the internal circuit board, battery, and antenna module from your existing remote into the new housing. The replacement is intended for detectorists whose remote body is damaged but whose electronics still function. If your remote's internal board or battery is faulty, you would need to source those components separately or consider a full remote replacement.

You cannot build a functional second remote with only this housing kit, because it does not include the circuit board, battery, antenna, or firmware that make the remote operate. You would need to purchase a complete remote control unit from XP or an authorized dealer to have a second remote. This part is designed for repair of an existing remote, not for building a new one from scratch. The DEUS II remote control requires all internal electronic components to function properly with your detector system.

Most detectorists complete the body replacement in 15 to 30 minutes, depending on their comfort level with small electronics disassembly. The process involves removing the screws from the damaged housing, carefully lifting out the internal components, routing the connector cable through the new housing, and securing everything with the included screws. Take your time to avoid pinching wires or misaligning the gasket rings. If you rush the reassembly, you risk damaging the connector cable or leaving gaps in the seal.

Recycle the damaged housing if your local recycling program accepts small electronics plastics, or dispose of it according to local regulations. Do not discard the internal electronics, battery, or antenna module unless they are also damaged, because you need those components for the new housing. Some detectorists keep the old body as a spare parts source for screws or gaskets if they are still intact. XP does not offer a trade-in or return program for damaged housings.

No, the replacement body does not change the remote's wireless performance, because the antenna module and circuit board remain the same. As long as you route the connector cable correctly and do not pinch or damage it during reassembly, the remote will maintain the same range and signal strength as before. If you experience connectivity issues after replacement, check that the antenna connector is fully seated and that the gasket rings are not blocking any internal components. Proper reassembly ensures continued wireless communication with your DEUS II detector.
